I backed Bricks and Mortar.
Ice cool ride that.

You see, that's what I'm thinking. Also 2nd behind Iridessa which also won the F&M this weekend.

Where did you get 7 places?

Interesting one in that race I think might be Magic Wand. Low weight, international experience, has run second behind Magical and Bricks and Mortar (the latter won the Turf at the weekend). Ground should suit too.

Southern France is the one I’m scared off. Backed it all summer and lost a few quid on it. Can’t get it right. 3rd in the Irish St Leger, won on this ground at the Curragh for Aiden Obrien. Been sold now so confused by it all.

Sky bet going 7 places.

Think southern france is racing out here full time now in the ciaron maher/david eustace stable.

Loved Fallon.
Especially on one of Cecils. ( not Mrs Cecil though )
My eldest is called Kieran after him, but I spelled it differently.

Loved his beek him!

Il paradiso unlucky. Story of my punting basically

Some ride by the winner that.

My picks where pure Everton.

Nice enough debut over fences for Henderson's 'Champ'.
I backed it at the festival last year and it came second. Won at Aintree I think.

Could be decent.

Was backed massively at the festival last year if I remember correctly. Highly thought of.

Maybe @Eggs knows what race it's aimed at this season.
Not sure if Arkle or Supreme Novices ?

....already part of my ante-post portfolio for Cheltenham but not as a single as it was only 10-1 for the RSA. There was a daft wager I did on Sky Request a Bet a few weeks ago; Champ to win the Kauto Star Chase at Kempton and the RSA @ 40-1.

Delighted today when Henderson suggested Champ’s next target will likely be the Kauto Star Chase. If it wins that, I’ll have 40-1 for RSA but as we know, lots can happen before then.

....it’s not a novice hurdler now, so it can’t go the Supreme. It’s a first season chaser, came 2nd over hurdles in last years Ballymore (to City Island). The Arkle is 2 miles, and all the indication is that Champ is a 3 miler so everything points to the RSA Chase (which is like the Gold Cup for younger horses).

Champ is now best priced 5-1 favourite for RSA, that’s almost certainly where it’ll end up (JLT is possible but unlikely). Interestingly, City Island (who beat Champ in the Ballymore) is 25-1 for the RSA. It’s not been out yet, but i had a couple of quid on it yesterday as it did me a favour last year.

I’ve got Champ @ 10-1 for the RSA in a double with Min @ 10-1 for the Ryanair. I’ve also got that daft bet for Champ to win the Kauto Star Chase next month and the RSA @ 40-1.

They should go the JLT. Looks to keen and quick for the RSA. Think it all depends on what way Samcro goes. They will want to keep them apart.

...I can’t see anything other than RSA for Champ. Henderson said he should have run him in last season’s Albert Bartlett (rather than the Ballymore) because he’s a definite 3 miler.

Samcro’s target is less clear, but he looks likely to go JLT. I’ve backed him at 17-1 for JLT and 25-1 RSA (with cash-out option when his target is confirmed).

Daft as it sounds, I’ve already had loads of ante-post bets, getting big prices early to small stakes has really paid for me these last few years and it’s a nice interest now that I’m retired.

Good work mate. I hate trying to judge JPs horses and where they will go.

Only ante post I’ve had is Paisley Park for the stayers. All it has to do is turn up on the day and it’s won it.
