Horse was very unlucky in the BETFAIR Hurdle - I expect him to be much close if they don't have a standing start - won't be runnin at Cheltenham

Just read an article stating that they will try to get in County Hurdle ... I'm sure they said they will bypass Cheltenham...
So some motivation there... Think he is a standout bet really - but anything can happen in a race like this but horse deserves to win a big pot. |

Good pick. Was half expecting other County hurdle entries in, find it hard to see Desoto County for example getting a run tbh

Always pay close attention to your tips IDB but just watched back the Betfair Hurdle and while he was slowly away and in rear he never really travelled and even under maximum pressure didn't really make up much ground in the straight until he stayed on past beaten horses from the last, looking as if he wants further so he's not for me. I'd fancy him more at Cheltenham to be honest.
Might have a stakes saver on him just because you seem to rate him such a good bet. There's a few I quite like including Starchitect @ 10/1 as a back to lay in running, but will wait until the final decs. |

I played it lto , shame I thought about the standing start , this one wanted to race with the pace from its starting position and use that stamina , think it was hard to make up ground at Newbury in that ground and the big field but I think it def made up some ground before just going past beaten horses ,gl Iris and Im in again

I like For Good Measure at 8/1

I am keen on Starchitect as well. I put it up on the main forum for the Betfair and thought it ran a great race first run of the season. I thought he was well handicapped on the Aintree form (where he fell) and despite the small rise in weights, should go well again.
He travelled like a dream and if had not made an error at the last would have been much close. He should actually be better on this ground and we all know that Pipe likes to target this race/Chelt double. |

He does, but atm there's no Bonus Pot on offer !!

Starchitect must go well on better ground and racing promenently on a track like Sandown. He was going clearly the best 2 out in the betfair but was undone by a the soft ground and a very bad mistake at the last. The way he stuck on to still finish second could mean a 6lb rise is not very harsh and could be still well in. 10/1 is very good value in my opinion.

Pipe also has Konig Dax entered in this - the only horse ever to beat Douvan and by 5 lengths at that!
Thin Douvan might have improved a bit since then though.  |

Some renewal last year......thistlecrack,camping ground,zaidyn unplaced.
Strong trends race re weight....inc claims,last winner to have carried over 11 st was Korelo 2003,if the top one stays in,the race certainly well framed for a few down the bottom. Ebony express looks like he has been kept for this,back down to dangerous mark,will go from front. Clayton at the bottom could be anything,in the right hands. Flying Angel arguably improving with each race,travelled well in betfair,only up 2 lbs for gallant 3rd,only 5 yr old. Too early for me,very interested to see if Rayvin Black runs,and if they claim,he has plenty of form with a few next week. |

Settled for Ebony Express at the prices,with RB,SDM and Allee Bleue he may not get anywhere near the front early doors.
Going stick 4.0 on hurdles course,time and again these races, on this type of ground,too many jockeys get caught out,very difficult to make up ground on really testing going. Not keen on jockey,needs to keep near the leaders,the horse showed last year game as a pebble. GL ALL |

Backed Clayton each-way and also Rayvin Black.

Think sirop de menthe worth a bet today. Rayvin black a very good yardstick and sirop has a nice turnaround
in the weights with rayvin. |

wth - fav run was abysmal - well done if anyone had winner...

Bad luck nocturnal, you had it mentioned , then you went off it

Yes Facts.......not so much went off him,just thought Ebony Ex was very well handicapped.
The winner looks real improver,no surprise to see him develop into classy staying chaser,just the type NTD excels with.Nothing to prove this term,very surprised to see him run next week. Ebony Express ran no sort race,despite form on soft,that may have been too deep for him,easy in market,still on radar off current mark. Affaire D,honneur ran strange race,like to see him on better ground maybe 2m 4f,very few miles on the clock. WP Winners |
