Charlie Hall Chase.
Ballynagour ran silvianco conti to a head last year, beating Holwell in the process. Was still going well when falling in Punchestown gold cup,then went to France and had a confidence boosting win, then ran again over there, but not so well, but was beaten by their other horse at a bigger price
Menorah won race last year , but bar silvianco who ran poorly was a weak race.was 8/1 when winning that weaker race, 7/1 now, doesnt look value.
Many clouds ran a fantastic race in national to win, but was completley legless after and had to be dismounted just to get back to the paddock, obvs had a long time to recover, but can take a race sometimes to see where you are again.
Cue card hasnt won for 2 years, hasnt shown much last few races.
Holwell could be a danger.
Dynaste,could thats Could just maybe be not quite as good as he was.
Here is the other part of the puzzle.....
Ballynagour is also entered in hurdle race at wetherby, BUT Dynaste the fav is entered in Ireland.
IF Dynaste doesnt run AND Ballynagour does the 8/1 with Paddyman is BIG.
The other side of the coin you could do yer money in cold blood if he doesnt run .
Of couse they could both run and 8/1 would still be a decent price.
How do we see the risk/reward of the options?
Personally i have had a little bit on at
and fingers crossed for a run.
