my short priced favourite picks that im backing are: Hurricane Fly (pretty much unbeatable) Big Bucks Quevega Have no faith in grand crus and think he'll be beat. Same goes for sprinter sacre, especially if peddlers cross goes in that race. other picks four commanders at 20/1, nice ew divers at 9/1 (someone here tipped him) looking further ahead, i think for the grand national at 40/1 (Paddys) or 70/1 Betfair Rare Bob is a great bet. Ticks a lot of the boxes when it comes to the grand national. i have a feeling he is being primed for the national. Will be a lot shorter come race day I would imagine.
On Long Run for Cheltenham 5/2 9/4 & 2-1(NRNB). Hope Kauto runs to push it back out to 2-1 and I will invest more. Seen Alan Kings stable tour on Racingpost, says Vendor has a handy mark for the festival and he has not run him to protect it. Could be a tip in itself, he thinks it's working as well as Grumeti and Balder Succes both who are going for a higher class race at the festival. Can't wait for the festival.
I'm not too sure about the gold cup. No horse fills me with confidence. Weak race, will probably have a small punt on something e/w come race day...
