This is my first big bet of the meeting. Mostly 3/1 sj 7/2 today NRNB of course.
Connections wont hear of it being beaten either race so likely to be backed.
Has beaten all the main irish contenders comfortably and mount benbullen is second favourite.
If he goes for this can't see him being much bigger than 6/4, thoughts?

About 7-4 and should be going 3 mile route leaving Neptune to Sous Les Cieux.

Topped my bet on this at 7/2.

Agree he'll be 2/1 or less

Think he's overhyped personally. Good horse and I've had a few quid on both races nrnb but if he was 7-4 I would burst out laughing.

looks a typical neptune and stats wise fits the bill, trial,trainer, age etc.

his weight carrying performance in his last race was brilliant and hes as tough as nails, thats what u have to be, not winning races on the bridle like simonsig.

boston bob is standout here imo.

7/4 wouldnt be a daft price in the AB imo. The second fav is a horse he's already beaten comfortably enough, and there isnt alot else in the race.

He doesn't fit the age stats for Neptune at all. 7 years olds and upwards struggled in this over past 30 years. Only French Holly won in that time I believe?

Perfect for AB

CVB - would suit me better if he did but how / why are you so sure?

I think he'll run in AB also. Thinking of having a big E/W bet on monksland at 7's with powers. If BB runs in the ab monksland could start short when the field cuts up, maybe lay back the win part.

Mullins has 3 in the top 6 of the betting for neptune and its 25's bar those. assuming they wont all run the others prices will contract big time.

Hope it goes for the Neptune and think it will. If it went here then 2-1.

I'd say he would be around 13-8 come the off and a really worthy favourite...with others having to find, upwards of 7-8lbs imo...probably going to go to neptune but for me would be a penalty kick in the Albert Bartlett...but mullins has already thrown one spanner in the works with Sir des champs...so who knows.

5/2 best odds NRNB now

was everybody backing boston bob at 9/2 with hills last night or something?

he's into 3/1 with them now, but they are still antepost on the race (haven't gone nrnb yet!) so there must have been a lot of people backing him last night thinking 9/2 was massive, even without a money back concession

If the markets on here are to be believed, and they have been bang on with Peddlers. Boston Bob goes for the Albert Bartlett, no doubt......would make sense with Mullins having Sous L C for the Neptune.....expect the price to continue to come in with him

Will he get any shorter do ye think? 7/4 best price now

Wouldn't surprise me to see him go off at 6/4.

I see Bob going off 5/4 or 11/8, certainly wont be 7/4 unless a leg falls off, Will Mull says the better ground will suit so ........be on

Lay down. 7/4 is a big price.
