Il Ridoto-Olive Nicholls...

Nepotism begins at home, backed it last time and 2ill back it again tomorrow ew,even with olive oyle aboard

At least you will get double the odds.....I cant touch it now.

P!ss take. Owners should say, yes we want to claim, and we'll use X.

Wonder how her agent got that ride for her hey

Come on lads it is her Birthday ffs.

Leading fancy for one of the most competitve Handicaps of the Year so far....Lets call for Olive......I dont mean to be mean on the young girl i hope she Wins but i cant see it.

They obviously think she's up to it.
GL to the girl.

Sounds sexist tbf acey, her stats are equal to plenty of experienced jockeys and PFN probably knows her latent ability better than anyone and I doubt nepotism comes into it, he is not so benevolent imo?

Like i said i hope she Wins but i would rather see a Professional up or a good experienced Claimer.

Much prefer a 7lb claimer to an injured rider claiming to be fit. Cobden is a long way from being back to fitness as well. Olive had a very good winner yesterday.

She looks half decent as a jockey/7lb claimer to be fair.
Prefer Stage Star over her mount though given the booking/pick of hoss.

Skelton's hoss for the fun combi t/cast

The term amateur can cover anyone from David Maxwell who does it for fun to Patrick Mullins who is as good as any professional in England or Ireland so means nothing at all to me. Either they can ride or they can't. Cobden and Gingell started as 7lb claiming amateurs.

Coral pushed out Il Ridoto to 2/1 to finish in the top 4 early on in the Intheknow show.

Spoiler alert.

Sir Tom has tipped up Le Patron at around 14/1.

15.5 on the machine the noo.

dead as a dodo

If most punters react to a lady amateur the way the Forum does then of course it will drift. The price changes nothing for me apart from having some more on. I would be far more cautious about Stage Star. Since his fall on Dec 2, Cobden has ridden one winner, a long odds on bumper.

Nicholls is the sort of bloke who is prepared to put Pendleton on a horse, ruining its chance of winning in return for publicity. He's past it. Dan's the man.

this reminds me of another Nichols horse in this race POCULIEN, was about 8,s on the Fri I backed it and then backed it ever price for fivers all the way out to I think 36,s was the best price I took on the machine and all prices in between ,before leading all the way under PIMLOTT I think,one of my better days could we get a repeat 17.5 on Betfair currently and 4 places on sports book 12,s/14,s ,I backed it last time so I,ll throw a few quid at it ,as well as fugitz and GA law

doubled in price on the news

weight is far more important than jockeyship , i'm happy give her a chance today.

More than capable tbf…

weight important yes but not at the expense of inferior jockeyship, only got to look at stats for 5lb+ claimers in hcap chases to see that

and its compounded by the fact gingell is excellent for 3lb
so even if she wins on it the drift is correct

Il Ridoto shortening up steadily now. Not sure how Cobden thinks the ground is wrong. He has won on the horse on soft himself!

Now shorter than Stage Star! Come on Olive.

If he can sort his jumping out,In Exelsis Deo,can run well here.
Around 16s on here & 5/2 the 4 Plcs.
   GL ALL

Nothing wrong with the ride and beat Stage Star but outpaced from 3 out.

Never going In Excelsis Deo,jumping was a bit off aswell.
Nicholls had a good spin round on her mount.

stage star looks like we hew,s he,s gone at the game,hope the owners group didn't turn down any offers in the summer

If anyone thinks she gave that a good ride needs sectioned!
She couldn't ride a rocking horse all she did was stay on(the horse)

Stage was fkd by running him in bottomless ground on new years day for sheer greed.

Stage Star
