GC field is really cutting up. Backed Sizing John each-way last year and would have supported him again this year as age still on his side but not sure what to make of that last run.

Fyi Just got sent this: Barney Curley is doing it again!!!! Big coup today by the looks of it, 5 John Butler horses at lingfield getting smashed up. (John Butler was Barney Curleys assistant and trained some of the horses in the last coup they won £2million off) nobody seems to have noticed yet as there is nothing on racing post or internet but it’s too much of a coincidence. Classic Barney Curley too, the horses are bang out of form but on decent marks if coming back to form..... prices gonna go even more soon when people wake up and spot what’s going on.

skybet arent taking bets stuck a 5p ew lucky 31 on with betbright
Could be yet another 2 + 2 = 5 but Betway aren't taking any chances - 5/2, 4/1, 7/2, 4/1 & 3/1 when they are freely available at 4/1, 16/1, 7/1, 20/1 & 9/1. I haven't checked but you can bet your bottom dollar that Betway haven't pushed out the other runners to compensate for the artificial shortening of those horses!
Low conviction this one (reliable stats don't whittle down the field hugely) but if it's a 3.5m+ handicap chase, I'll have a lash anyway. My shilling shall be on KRAKATOA KING in the Warwick National today (aka Betfred Classic), won last year by One For Arthur before he carried off the spoils in the Big One. KK's too low in the handicap to make it to Aintree (unless he strolls it today) but he has good form over fences at Warwick, likes to get his toe in (officially soft today), stays the 29f trip and is nicely-weighted (5lbs taken off by conditional Richard Patrick, who steered Alfie Spinner around Chepstow so well last weekend). One of 3 runners for the in-form Kerry Lee. Completed all 12 chases to date, making the frame 9 times (2 wins, both 3m+ on heavy), 9/1 makes him a worthwhile each-way proposition (IMHO). Should be a good race.
EDIT - a man's gotta know his limitations. Sorry folks. That Milansbar's a right monkey - blinkers did the job today. Easy win.... but next time?
Mate just told me abour mr bossy boots at lingfield 12.40 tomorrow. Was 10s earlier, now down to 6/1. He says it should be fav when he sets off tomorrow. Could be a load of rubbish but stuck £5 e/w
Whilst it has shortened with Skybet, they are N/R No Bet and Best Odds Guaranteed, unlike most bookies, so most of the horses are going to be shorter with them.

Still 14s about (Victor, Sporting) but yes they are all-in run or not.
This was straight from Willie’s mouth yesterday, not hearsay - and he describes her as his best juvenile bar none adding ‘she’s incredible’. She won by 58 lengths last time out - although not sure she beat much!
Next due out at Leopardstown on 4 February in a Grade 1 so if you are going to back her for the Triumph do it before then.

Cheers Bob, Haven't a clue about these 2 mile dashes over the floppies but have thrust my shilling into Vic's sweaty palm at 14s.

I’m the opposite, Peanuts - much prefer the speed merchants over hurdles and my strike rate, especially in Grades 1 and 2, is much better than in chases.
Might be something to do with me being a flat man, although I make an exception for Cheltenham.
"It’s fascinating to see Cheltenham Festival’s biggest hype horse SAMCRO entered in next month’s Irish Champion Hurdle, given it’s highly unusual to pitch a novice into Grade 1 open company.
Connections must smell blood after Faugheen recently bombed out of the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown, blowing open the two-mile hurdling division in Ireland.
Though he is also entered in the longer-distance novice hurdle at that meeting, and is shortest in the betting for the middle-distance Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, Gigginstown – his owners – must fancy his chances of being effective over the minimum trip.
If they do run him in the Irish Champion Hurdle, and he wins, that’ll throw a huge spanner in the ante-post markets for both the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and Champion Hurdle in March, where he trades 16/1 and 50/1 respectively.
He wasn’t included in the Champion Hurdle entries so it’s fairly safe to presume that he would be aimed at the former – and that makes the 16/1 look huge.
This horse looks like a freak; he’s unbeaten in six starts and has shown devastating speed to win those by a huge aggregate lengths margin, and I don’t really understand the disparity in the price between his Cheltenham assignments, as he’s just 2/1 for the Ballymore.
I feel that’s sound logic for an ante-post poke at the opener in March.

1pt ante-post win Samcro @16/1, Supreme Novices’ Hurdle"
He’s being touted as a future Gold Cup winner so I can’t see him going over the minimum trip.
