you can't do multiple selections on the offer - shops might be a different matter

McCain must be feeling like a right t!t now - would have been a 3/1 ish shot for the Arkle facing 6 and yet will be a bigger price facing more rivals for a lesser prize.

He's got no excuses now. small field to dictate, drying ground to aid his speed....not being funny but if Al Ferof out battles him again then he's just not good enough.

will be an epic race despite the turnout...SS on the pace, Al Ferof stalking...will be awfully interesting if Cue Card and Menorah can avoid mistakes.

Question for me....How long will Ruby wait...I'd like to see him make his move straight after the water...look to start applying pressure running into that big open ditch at the top and keep it going all the way downhill and into the home straight. Dont give SS a chance to break free...or for that matter Cue Card. will be epic this race whatever happens.

Guys. If i backed Cue Card antepost , do they still play out 3 places now? I can't find a definitive answer on this. You guys are probably the best bet!

definate answer is you get paid 1-2-3  PROABLY AT 1/5th a place .
have backed CC and Menorah e/w and very happy the race has cut up.
If menorah puts its best foot forward its not without a squeak
CC is probably just not good enough but can inject a bit of pace between the last two but i think SS is a monster that probably wont come off the bridle to run away from them going to the last.
A slow early pace  could count against Al ferof .
As far as SS not proving himself at chelt is concerned i dont agree with that one bit ,this horse was always going to be a chaser and was needing a bit of time ,its run last year does it loads of credit ,its a good looker with all the muscles in the right places and i expect it to jump this lot into submission.

have i bet it ....NO  dont do 4/5 chances at the festival but if i did this would be the horse .

place terms will not get changed...if you bet at 1/4 odds 123 ante post that is what you will get....would never get changed to 1/5 just because there are 6 runners now

punters often want to take on short priced runners when they have not fully confirmed their potential. I still remember people slating Kauto Star back in 2006 when he first started smashing VPU and Exotic Dancer. They just did not want to believe the evidence before their eyes and the same is sort of happening with Sprinter Sacre.

The trainer, jockey and all the connections have expressed their opinion that this is the next super star chaser. He is currently the second highest rated 2 mile chaser based on just 3 runs, only Sizing Europe is higher rated, he has smashed every horse in a matter of strides and never come off the bridle, he has produced fast times in every run and he jumps like a buck, he is really clever at his fences.

This is an absolute beast, a champion in waiting who (as long as he stays sound) will be winning top class races by the bucket load. He is head and shoulders above his generation. Barry Geraghty says he is better than Moscow Flyer for lawds sake!

But there will still be nay sayers just like there have been with Sea The Stars, Frankel, and Kauto Star even when he has won half a dozen Grade 1 chases and blitzed everything he raced against.

It is a total monster, don't say you weren't warned

He certainly is a monster...the slow motion shots of him jumping, on C4, were amazing!

We needed a new superstar and we've got one.
