Anyone else on Diamond Harry ew at 33/1?
I think he is massively overpriced in a race where there are doubts about so many of his rivals.
Long Run - will fall one day as he takes liberties at the odd fence.
Captain Chris and Master Minded have doubts about staying 3 miles and may top class 2 - 2 1/2 milers have tried and failed including Azertyuiop, VPU, Our Vic, Travado, Remmitance Man etc.
Kauto is only a possible and I have a feeling that they may wait for the Gold Cup for his last ever run along with Denman.
Diamond Harry travelled really well and went toe to toe with Kauto Star for much longer than any other race in the Betfair Chase, I'm hoping he blew up and will come on for his first race after a year off, I think he is good value.

It could be good value, but mainly because I can see there being a very small field (perhaps with a couple of no hopers). I can't see any way DH reverses with Long Run unless LR falls. DH had everything in his favour at Haydock (flat track, goes well fresh, autumn) and still got hammered out of sight.
I guess you're right LR will fall one day, but the thing about the very best chasers is that they are so well balanced they don't usually fall when they hit one. Think about the number of times Kauto and Masterminded have clouted a fence but stood up because they are on an even keel. |

Have been with DH from the very start, 33/1 a good price, but, how will he cope with going the other way round? Would like to see him do that first, He served it up to Big Bucks and then again to Kauto for a while. Is Kauto back?, or was that a great first time up run?

diamond harry couldnt lay up with kauto star according to reveley, he said he was flat out all the way. id say he will be ridden with restraint this time with the hope he will be running on best of all at the end. i think hes an unlikely winner to be honest but i could see him placing. on the positive side he is ridden by geraghty! btw, im not sure theres any doubt whatsoever about captain chris staying 3, and i think master minded will. captain chris is bred for 3 miles plus!
