You seem to have got a few live ones in there Marky at some great prices!

Yeah, not being able to get involved might work out alright.

Less time I've spent studying and thinking, the better it looks

I must admit to having had an envious glance at some of those monster prices.

Let's get Epatante over the line and we'll both be semi-freerolling.

One interesting booking I noticed is Robbie Power choosing to ride Slate House rather than the same stable's Copperhead.#mightbeclutchingatstraws

Had some bloke on a gambling forum trying to pick it apart saying I beat SP on 90% of my runners, so I was either lying or the best tipster ever. Said it looks a lot better until you see the list of about 50 horses I've backed that haven't made it. Dilutes it somewhat. If something I've bet makes the race, it will be shorter. The ones that don't aren't live. They're dead

I had all the horses and dead best posted as well, so was quite confusing how he couldn't get his head around it.

I've got plenty dead this year as well, but nowhere near as many. All relative, as my book is about 1/3 of the size it usually is.

Think it was Dave Jennings earlier today said he flew over with Robbie last night, and Robbie told him Slate House schooled well the other day, or something to that effect.

Well it ran an absolute flat stinker lto when it was pu - Tizzard looked both gutted and perplexed in his post-race interview.

Let's hope that was a one-off-day as the stable clearly seem to rate him.

[Marky147]

Yeah, that'll probably be the one I use with any offers on the day.

[Marky147]

Only Corona this week, will have Lime in it!

Altior out. What a shame, as that was the race of the festival.

Don't forget to make your way to Hills before the Supreme for their fifth 7 places in the supreme.

You can probably bet all the top 8 e/w and make a profit, but right now I like

Shiskin at 9/2 (complete 180 here due to the price drift (I know one Blonde thinks he pulls too hard, but it is a price thing)
Fiddlerontheroof at 9/2, looks very solid for the place
Elixir D'Ainy at 16/1 (betfair has near evens the place, Hills 3/1+)
Edwardstone at 20/1 (betfair has 6/4 the place, Hills 4/1)

You lose 25% or so the win on all, but the place terms are fantastic.

You can do the e/w double with Roksana in the Mares if in a Hills shop.  Obv be very careful with an online account, I wouldn't go crazy in a shop either. 

[Marky147]

My Hills account is about as safe as me if I get the COV

Doobs off to a flyer, nice one.

Fun race to watch, that, except for that nasty do 4 (?) out caused by Asterion jumping to the right.
