Re: Jumps Season 07/08 - Notebook & Ante Post Bets I agree about Afsoun, I have backed it at big prices for the Champion. I know it is being aimed at the World (stayed well on the flat) but at Kempton it showed plenty of pace before falling (Christmas Hurdle). It looks a poor year for the 2 milers this term so hopefully Henderson will be tempted. Also, stable companion Punjabi is over-priced around 70 or 80/1 last time I looked. Got around 6 lengths to make up on Katchit but is a much bigger type, more scope for improvement than Alan Kings horse and much bigger price too.
Did do Iktitaf aswell, hope he can be saved.
Done Wicheta Lineman at 6's for the World, further he goes the better. Feel sure Inglis will dissapoint at some time this season and drift before running well again. Blazing dissapointed this weekend.
Hope Monet's Garden does run at Cheltenham. Just because he has not won there does not mean he does not act. On this coming seasons weights he would have won the Arkle, (gave 5lbs wfa to Voy Por Ustedes) now level weights. And comes out better than Taranis (had the Grade 1 penalty) last year. This year no penalties. Running at Cheltenham does not stop him winning at Aintree anyway so why not go there? |
