Thanks BJG. Relieved that UDS is declared as in retrospect I jumped too early, and if had waited could have NRNB concession at 25/1 - not the smartest play.
That being said I still think he'll run a really good race and is one that will love the ground. |
|
By:
Richard Johnson booked to ride Rigidity. Was 33/1 this morning in a few places, tops 25 now. I wonder if there was a bulletin in the RP from trainer?
I've not backed him yet anyway. Olofi is now 14/1 with Korral. |
|
By:
Rigidity was always highly thought of at Warren Place so I would suggest he is a talented horse
If you take his form in this last year literally he could be very well treated. Ascot is one course that horse seem to love or hate on the flat - is it the same over jumps? |
|
By:
No Cotton Mill?
Ground I suppose?I genuinely think that this one wouldn't look out of place in this seasons champion hurdle field and if they're gonna start him off in a 'cap off 145, I'll be on, whenever, wherever. |
|
By:
Don't think so Roo.
Going is now Heavy. I reckon this may be abandoned as Saturdays forecast aint pretty, |
|
By:
Dessie, He's been entered in the Christmas Hurdle. Crazy to ruin his handicap mark by running him in a Grade 1. Lets hope he gets pulled out due to soft ground again.
|
|
By:
Princeton plains for me. Will love the ground.
|
|
By:
Kazilian is the one to be on at these weights, just needs to settle ,and treat the hurdles with a little more respect
|

Can't believe Olofi is still double-figures. I've backed him ante-post at 12/1 and there's 14/1 available now! It's possible that he's a quirky so-and-so, but then again he might just be late-maturing (bit like my teenage son!). I was impressed with the way he quickened after being checked at HQ lto. Soft ground holds no fears - although going right-handed is a bit of an unknown. A few ifs and buts, but more than compensated for with the price imo.
1pt Olofi @ 12/1 |

Big runner 2mile handicap hurdles are by far my least favorite national hunt race to punt on, however I think LYVIUS has a very good chance on Saturday.
His win at Newbury looked like he had a lot more in reserve than the winning margin suggested. He was idling in front a long way from home. Edgardo Sol is a very decent benchmark. Jeremiah McGrath takes 5lbs off too which will help in this ground. He will be primed for a big run. The negatives are he isn't great value at 8/1. I will be waiting until the day and hope he goes out to around 10/1-11/1 for an each way punt. Also his jockey isn't my favorite 5lb claimer around too. All in all though I think he's the biggest potential improver, even given the fact he's gone up 8lbs for his Newbury win. Another alternative I would put up is Cash and Go. However at a shorter price than Lyvius and going up 5lbs for his 2nd to Olofi then I would not be tempted at the price. Kazlian is a horse I really like too, however I think he's going to be a spring horse and one that needs good ground to show his best form. |

By:
Agree Mystic Wind. Think Olofi is great value at the prices (particularly compared to Cash & Go). If you just look at his runs on soft ground he has been very consistent and I think he really must be in the shake up. Here's hoping he pays for the Xmas expenses

Olofi might be pwise ? 12 into 8 with 365, 11 into 9 with slybet (5places), top price 11's now.
|
|
By:
18mm forecast between now and racing, going is Heavy,Soft. No guarantee this goes ahead.
|
|
By:
Last of the 11's gone. Tops 10 now.
|
|
By:
3.65 have actually cut him into 7s now. That's two cuts in the last 20 mins.
Is there a non-runner or summat? |
|
By:
I know sint, I'll be a little gutted if its abandoned. Really do think Tom's got it right
I agree think it must his choice as price changed just after 8, when paper available on iPad |
|
By:
pwise is olofi and first avenue

By:
Like Olofi but is anyone else worried about him going right handed ?
|
|
By:
They should ride him backwards
|
|
By:
Had a nice bet on Princeton Plains,30+ on here.
Got form on heavy but trainer states wants no worse than soft,(which seems strange). Also on about 7s pl market.Looking forward to this race. GL ALL |
|
By:
I guess you could argue the winner was a big price given the prices of the two in front of him last time. Cash and Go backers must feel ul. Would surely have went close.
|
|
By:
Balder Success backers feeling well pissed off with the shocking ride it was given
|
|
By:
Was expecting it start in handy position but i guess thats what you get if you let it spend its life in small runner fields.
|
|
By:
well done if you backed that. He was overpriced in relation to C&G who went off fave, but there were so many fancies for this race something had to drift.
Olofi either hated going rated, or, more likely, was just not good enough today. |
|
By:
*hated going right handed
|
|
By:
Disappointed with Olofi today alright, should have been right there on the book.
Will be keeping an eye out for Rebel Fitz's return to the track however. Gave Cause of Causes 19lb and a beating in the Galway Hurdle ! |
|
By:
If it is soft I can still see Olofi being competitive and whilst I'll wait until there's a better idea of the field, I would see all the Greatwood placers going close
So wrong about Olofi who I backed and ran a shocker - too free for his own good in the early stages. Cannot believe winner went off 25/1 ![]() |
|
By:
as all you clever people were on olifi at 14,s 16,s ,then tipped by pricewise, why are you all wetting your knickers that a horse well beat by olifi started at 25,s
what price would you expect it to start bearing in mind your pockets were full of 16 to 1 vouchers for olifi, ![]() |
|
By:
Guess it's a fair point. Noone gutted they didn't back Bothy and he was even beeter off although had been hammered on heavy ground in between.
|
|
By:
1st time poster, don't be such an arse. Not sure anyone claimed to be on Olofi at 14/16s and only one person referenced the winner's price - but hardly wetting my knickers.
The difference between the winner and Bothy is that Cause of Causes is still only 4 and so plenty of scope for improvement. |
|
By:
And had winning form right handed!
|
|
By:
It's called post-race analysis, albeit lacking in detail. All we've mentioned is that the winners SP was overrpriced in relation to the favourite who was sent of 13/2? Would you not agree.
No idea why you are trying to be clever. |
|
By:
I dont recall anyone saying they had 16's on Olofi either, but I could be wrong.
