It'd be value wherever he ran bar RSA. But he's one I think is best waiting on. Knowing connections they might be thinking Irish National and aiming low key for his next run and avoid Cheltenham.

The only sure thing is that he will be entered in everything.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30201063/shutthefrontdoor---festival-handicap-chase?post_id=537974595#537974595Has been nibbled in from 16/1 to 12/1 over the last week or so but surely there are better avenues to explore than guessing what McManus is up to.
