why master minded so weak in the market on here at the moment

not an expert on this sort of subject but my view would be a lot of people wont risk their cash on betfair when they can get nrnb in most bookmakers for championship races...

Because Zeb is going to beat him

here here CVB

The last two posts are correct

Because PN has been telling all and sundry that if theres no rain MM won't win

strongly susepct he'll get stuffed-as 1. effects of breathing op wear of 2. ground faster than he likes; 3. big zeb will be finewith 2. 4. big zeb is possibly at least as good nowadays; 5. ffs somersby- yes somersby nearly beat him lto. 6. as others obsereved who not nrnb with someone else?7. 8 yesrs old- french bred (yes some last- many didnt/ dont).
imo is no better tahn 4/1 to win on good /soft or better.

nichols does make it his banker at cheltenham though

MM is one of the best bets of the festival and Corals 11/4 must be snapped up,has been in great form this season even with the terrible ride at ascot from a certain AP Mcoy,needs a championship pace to be at his best and will get that in the CC and pick off this lot one by one,respect BZ,but he will be atleast 6-12 lengths 2nd to the Champ

Prospect of drying weather....simples

If its as dry as last year this goes 4/1 on the day

Needs cut in the ground and doesn't look like he will get it. Advanced weather forecast for Cheltenham from next weekend is interesting however and you never know!

The Big Three events seem to very ground related this year

weaker still must be ground concern

Some people are forgetting 12 months ago:

Murphy has some way to travel to rival Paul Nicholls but the champion trainer was unusually ruffled by Master Minded's defeat. All the promise of his comeback run at Newbury had been illusory and Nicholls looked baffled.

Some time later, he reflected: “This looked like being a good race for us and turned into a disaster. Master Minded has never looked better but he didn't let himself down on the ground and he was hanging again. Something may come to light but I'd bet it doesn't. They can't take his two wins away but it's been in my mind that none of his family have ever trained on.”

Little wonder he is drifitng in the betting, Big Zeb and Sizing Europe will love fast ground and face pace and are the ones to beat, Golden Silver and Somersby will be badly outpaced before running on to snatch a place.

Fully disagree. MM is back. I have paused two vids of him on this computer, one from last year when at the post for last years champ chs and the other was the vid of him being walked round during the press open day only a couple of weeks ago and he is a different animal who clearly had problems last term.

Somersby got so close to him lto imo because he doesn't get a yard further than 2 miles 1f, and that was the distance that day. He had somersby well held at the point they would have been crossing the line in the champ chs. Added to the fact nichols has already said he wasn't 100% fit that day and what mccoy has since said about his ride on him he is one of the best bets of the festival.

Big Zeb lto worries the hell out of me and i really do not think he will be troubling the principles this time around!

I have done Sizing Europe e/way at 14s, small for a bit of a saver however as Arkle winners do have an outstanding record of placing in this race. Korals 11/4 should be snapped up, it is massive value imo!

Whats so funny about that duncan??? PLease enlighten me as to the joke element of my post?

Anything going on here?  Money to back has dried up totally over the last couple of hours.  Doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for this fine beast at the moment.

nothing much or theyd be a someone laying bigger,

Master Minded looks bet of the festival to me
