You never know whether a decision has been made or some trying to manipulate the market

Any of Mullins/Ricci with multiple entries it is best to ignore until final decs or race day.

And if your on Twitter you will have seen tweets from me saying

#ontheline been trying to get on on the line very busy 3 mobiles and a landline going for hour and a half! Limini does have half a chance if supplemented. Forfeit if she wins please!! I will be at Cheltenham on the Friday as guest of a friend in Betfair VIP pod. Come on Matt sort it out. We agree on native river I have 8to1. Great portfolio of antepost won't bore you. Read this PLEASE

I think she has an outstandingly good shout if supplemented but then maybe won't be anyways if the market today is to be believed

And I've just waived my anonymity on here pmsl if you can find the tweet. (See pic taken with Sydney harbour bridge in background Love)

I've got decent odds for Limini CH. Noises don't sound positive. I guess they might weigh up Limini mares and Mag CH/stayers. I don't believe mags is a 2 miler. I guess connections will just need to get the calculator out. They willl want horses to sign cheques.

some of these races , like the champion , look like cutting up badly with so many ' stars ' missing . if you take into account the many multiple entries that bloat them you might be left with very few fancied ones on the day and a whole raft of rags . never thought i would say that about cheltenham .

The supplementary fee would be better spent on charities, I'd think.

if she runs she will be favourite so i guess a lot of people dont agree with you

comsidering she's third fav with all the NRNB firms, on what are you basing that kavvie?
Report Can't Catch Me March 8, 2017 9:18 AM GMT
looking impossible to guess what's going to happen with the three RR ladies. Some mentions at Previews that Lets Dance may go for the Mares Hurdle now and rumours that VVM isn't quite right.

Wish I'd taken the 9/2 about Apples Jade after Limini beat her.

she will be the irish number one id imagine if she runs...the wpm/ruby factor will come into play.pockets full the first day.doubts about yanworths ability this season..

Yes i'm in the Limini sp fav boat. Think there is a good chance should she be supplemented she will be backed off the boards come 3:15pm Tuesday 14th. If there be any prices on who would go off fav i'd be interested in what certain books are.

3rd fav at 8.2 at mo.if she supplemented that 8 will turn into 6 v quick

Exactly thus only 2.5 pts to find to be vying for favoritism making it very possible

Just wondering who would want to back her enough at the odds to get her fav??!!!
Formbook says a lot bigger than 8,or whatever she is.

Sorry....forgot, formbook don't really matter if its Walsh,Mullins and Ricci.

Although i disagree with you and think it will win and have higher expectations than most on here, e.g on ratings she hasn't got a lot to find, i think you hit the nail on the head with this underlined post

im one of the "us" prem!!  and i seen a lot of irish money going on yokes severely underpriced over the years..and for what its worth limini with the mares allowance has a live chance if she runs..

wouldnt surprise me if this is a reaction to the rumours VVM isn't quite firing and Limini might be going for the Mares.

Limini fav for the CH? Crazy

The ground, the last day she beat AJ, was like a bog. There wouldn't be much between the two on better ground in my opinion. AJ would be 20/1 if she ran in the CH.

VVM still in the CH.....Limini in Mares??
Report Can't Catch Me March 8, 2017 12:50 PM GMT
VVM left in the CH kavvie! David Casey said at one Preview he felt she was definitely the better of the two of them and if one should run in the Champion, it should be VVM. Saved a supplementary fee as well I suppose so can see their thinking.
Report ReaseHeath March 8, 2017 12:54 PM GMT
they have a great benchmark with Annie Power.

She ran in the same race Limini did last year, so they'd be able to compare what Limini has done since that race with what AP did.

vvm is 14s for both ch and stayers.she was 75s for both yesterday
Report maelduin March 8, 2017 12:57 PM GMT
Common sense prevails.

Looks like poor VVM might be the sacrificial mare in the CH. They should keep her for the Aintree Hurdle. No chance in either though. imo
Report kavvie March 8, 2017 12:59 PM GMT

Not by me though I hasten to add.

Interesting. Where have toy heard that ftv? Horse hasn't been on my radar at all, but agree he would have a squeak. Seen far worse 40/1 NRNB pokes than him. Just had a few quid ew on.
Report impossible123 March 8, 2017 1:47 PM GMT
Indeed, common sense has prevailed. Connections would have egg-on-their-faces if she finishes behind Ch'tibello or Footpad; a non-starter, I'd say, just Ricci like to hear his own voice and think punters are all 'lemmings' and easily led up the garden path on his say so.
Report firstimevisor March 8, 2017 1:51 PM GMT
He goes there for sure. I'd say Jacob will ride Footpad. Rumours are that VVM not working well so would think it will be Limini for Mares and they may let VVM take her chance in CH but I'd expect ruby to ride WB now
Report Can't Catch Me March 8, 2017 1:52 PM GMT
No I know he goes there, but you said Ruby rides WB as a statement of fact. Is that just your opinion then?
Report firstimevisor March 8, 2017 1:53 PM GMT
Sorry no thats just an opinion
Report Can't Catch Me March 8, 2017 1:55 PM GMT
Oh right. Be surprised if he rode WB over VVM if she runs there myself. Not just because of the RR factor, but because WB hasn't run over Hurdles for 18 months.
Report firstimevisor March 8, 2017 1:57 PM GMT
True, but his flat form is unreal in the context of this race and his County Hurdle performance would put him right there
Report Can't Catch Me March 8, 2017 1:59 PM GMT
Yeah I agree with that. Some prep though!

Couldn't rule out Jacob riding Sceau Royal and Ruby choosing Footpad either though.
Report ReaseHeath March 8, 2017 1:59 PM GMT
I doubt the owners will think it's the end of the world if Jacob rides Sceau Royal and Walsh rides Footpad.

I'm not saying it'll definitely happen but it's another possible scenario.
