MOT went out to and was matched at 80 for £2 but the biggest traded for more was 55. I know this cos i had £2 up at 50 for about an hour and i cancelled it, i realized soon after I cancelled that it would have matched

This is my biggest winner of the fest, very closely followed by Faugheen and Annie Power.
Most bets were placed pre season debut and I wouldn't back him now in a month of Sunday's. I'm glad he looks like possibly running as Id rather have my money running than not, but he's had a horrific prep for a race like this. He's by far and away the best horse in the race, but not by so much that he can overcome the issues he's had and still beat some fairly good horses. If Zarkandar or SDR win I'll be a very slightly up and I'd take that now. |

Point of order.
AP's 'blog' was likely ghost written 5 days back |

By:
I don't think they would run him if they did not feel he was in good enough condition to perform somewhere near to, or even at, his best. Gutted this news came so late as I took him out of my mini TTF lists yesterday!! ****s.

Will be SEETHING if this turns out another Binocular situation.

sint……start seething because that is exactly the scenario. Zero doubt about it.

If it's the case then it's not pretty for the sport, though it would be for my wallet

GRADE 1-winning novice hurdler Beat That will miss next month's Ladbrokes World Hurdle, which he was as short as 10-1 for.
Trained by Nicky Henderson for Michael Buckley, Beat That scored at the top level at Aintree and Punchestown's spring meetings last year, but will miss the Cheltenham Festival, it was revealed on Monday. He has had only one start this season when well beaten behind Rock On Ruby at Cheltenham last month and will be put away for a novice chase campaign next term. Henderson could still be represented in the World Hurdle by 16-1 chance Blue Fashion. |

Whisper mentioned at all,looks doubtful re betting on here.

Paul Nicholls said on Twitter tonight that he expects Noel Fehily to ride Zarkander.
|
|
By:
Surely he'll be on Rock on Ruby. I wouldn't even consider jumping off him if I was Fehily. He's been riding him all season and is just a better horse than Zarkandar imo.
|
|
By:
He's signed a retainer with Zarkandar's owners

Would McCoy be a possibility so, has JP anything if MOT misses the race
|

Zarks connections holding out for Ruby Walsh.I heard BH has a problem
|
|
By:
Where did you hear that, mate?
|
|
By:
More Of That Scratched from World Hurdle.
|
|
By:
From a media friend,may be something in it.
If they didn't want STD to ride must be a good reason |
|
By:
thought fehily had got the ride
 |

It was the bit about Briar Hill having a problem I was interested in. Just the absolute opposite to what I understood was the case. And he's been well backed since falling last weekend
|
|
By:
More of That out then. I think we all owe Jonjo a group appology!
|
|
By:
Yep. Guilty. Apologies.

I was going to back BH but holding fire for a bit now. I heard the same about Balleycasey last year and although he drifted,he did end up running. |
|
By:
I should take the 20/1 NRNB jasey. He will shorten.

By:
'I should take the 20/1 NRNB jasey. He will shorten'
All the 20's gone now, mate - just 12/1 with PP so doubt he has a problem |
|
By:
Didn't know about the retainer. Is it like the Munir-Jacob deal? You ride for us unless we can get someone better! Hopefully Ruby rides Zark then, as I love ROR and would like to see Fehily on board.
|
|
By:
Ruby will be on Briar Hill and decent ground hes a big player.
SDR will have Sam on. Zark will have Fehily on. ROR ? |
|
By:
Coming round to having a little bit on Reve in this. Whatever the excuses for Zarkandar, Reve did beat him, and last time only went down by a short distance to SDR giving him weight.
His festival record isnt the best, but ran a cracker in the Neptune against Peddlers and Rite of Passage, and the Cleeve proves he can act around HQ. Guaranteed stayer and his last two runs are a marked improvement on anything he's shown in the last couples of years. 25's is a decent ew price. |

By:
Fehily has confirmed he will ride Zarkandar in the World Hurdle.
|
|
By:
Is AFC still being aimed at this race? If not, maybe AP will ride ROR?

Rebecca Curtis has raised the possibility of a change of headgear for At Fishers Cross ahead of his bid to get his season back on track in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
The eight-year-old is a former Festival winner having landed the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle in 2013 and last year he ran a fine race in defeat in the World Hurdle when finishing third behind fellow JP McManus-owned runner More Of That and brilliant mare Annie Power. He has struggled to replicate that level of form so far this season, most recently failing to fire in the Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock, but Curtis hopes her charge can bounce back at a track that brings out the best in him and he could be aided by a pair of blinkers. Curtis said: "I actually thought he jumped well at Haydock and we're just going to try a couple of new things. "He seems to like Cheltenham and we're hoping that we might see a bit of improvement. "We haven't decided yet, but we could put some headgear on him. I'll speak to Frank (Berry, McManus' racing manager) and see what he thinks." At Fishers Cross will be part of a small but select team of Festival runners for the leading Welsh trainer. |

Annie Power been backed today, Mullins stated 4 weeks that if More of That didn't make it then he would keep his options open, surely he will run Annie in the W H now ??
