Horse Tip Today

[treefella]

Hi everyone dont know what to make of this but i had a strange phone call this morning from none other than some pr guy from  Betfair.
Guy was asking why i hadnt been on the site lately, what other sites i was using and if i would like to take them up on some promotional offers they have today on their site.
He finishes off the conversation by asking if i would like a ' tip ' for today

2.35 Ascot ILE DE RE Currently around 3/1

Make of it what you will , i dont usually back favourites so this wont see my money , however
i thought i would share with the forum , the horse is very well handicapped and the trainer seems to think a lot of the horse from what ive researched since the phone call.

Good luck to those of you who may have a punt : )

This is one of the ten Betfair horses to follow from the Donald McCain Jr profile book that got sent around last week. I forget the name of the trainer...oh no hang on...was it Donald McCain Jr?

Better people than I will confirm, but I think he's a mudlark. Won the Chester Cup, beating Overturn, so a contender in pretty much any field.

Any views on whether it's a good price?

I like CANNINGTON BROOK in the 3.10 at Ascot. Should favour the ground and I can't see it having trouble over course and distance. But I have a largely untrained eye and recognise that there is more to consider than the headline stats. It's about 25-1 on the exchanges.

Any thoughts on it?

FWIW, have backed Ile de Re

Ran well. Bit unlucky to have a faller right in front of it in the final straight, although it wasn't going to win.

has anyone else had a call off Betfair similar to this ?

Was referring to Cannington Brook, but no, not had anything like that.

Have you had one before?

[treefella]

Not a problem. Was backing it anyway.
