Great racing today at Cheltenham and Doncaster - some short prices but all look nailed on (famous last words).
Melon definitely goes at Leopardstown tomorrow. Best price now for the Supreme is 10/1 but will be favourite after winning with ease tomorrow! If you are going to back it for Cheltenham then do so before 1.30 tomorrow!

Won very easily but it wasn't much of a race. Not much experience to take into a proper race at Cheltenham.
The Supreme doesn't look much of a race to be honest and won't take a lot of winning. Melon has an enormous engine and Ruby was struggling to pull him up today, so getting up the hill at Cheltenham shouldn't cause too many problems.
In terms of experience, he will run at Leopardstown in February before going to Cheltenham.

I think that he will need that second run, in a tougher race, to prepare him for the Supreme. It's always a tough race to win, however it may look on paper.

Yes, there's no easy race at Cheltenham but it genuinely doesn't look as strong a field as usual in the Supreme. The Grade 1 at Leopardstown will be needed but I genuinely expect him to win that and then go on to win at Cheltenham - subject to some luck of course, not least injuries.

16/1 about a 4/1 shot will do me at this stage!!
That's a very nice price indeed. It won't be 4/1 on the day if he's got Ruby Walsh on his back!
This looks like a layer's coup, not a backers coup.
Back the second favourites - that's where the value will be!!
Not if the book's 150% it won't be. Bookmakers wouldn't do that would they?
Oh yes they would because, for example, Bet 365's book for the 3.20 reads Pulsating 13/8 (and it isn't even the favourite!), 4/5, 5/1, 7/1, 11/1, 14/1 & 16/1.
I would also point out it's over two years since the trainer last had a winner so, should all three go in, the trainer might just be called in for an explanation.

Don't exaggerate - that book is 143.5% ;-)
Betfair by the way are currently betting to 148.6% - and the best price book is 117%

Joking aside Bob, those overrounds are shocking. Do bookies assume that all punters are stupid?

Very sad for all associated with him.

These will be gambled. All got a chance.
Got this message earlier. Good luck if you fancy the gamble
It could be the same source.
