I've laid Black Jack for the World Hurdle at evens. Sure he has the best claims, and may well win, but that is far too short.
I've thrown a bit of cash at Denman at 250 for the Arkle. Hugely unlikely, I know, but will regain all money by lumping on him if he does go for the Sun Alliance...for all that I was taken with Cailin Ailinn yesterday.
Also in the Arkle I've layed Fair Along at 5/1, so would be good to see him getting turned over today - Victoria's Groom is an interesting runner at a huge price in the opener at Newbury.
Have also laid My Way de Solzen for the Ch Chase. They're a poor bunch of 2m chasers but at longer odds I'm siding with Newmill, plus there's a chance that Well Chief could be back, and if he's anywhere near his best, he wins.
Quite liked De Soto for the Supreme, and 13.5 seems like a decent price, toying with sticking a tenner on as we speak!
Unfortunately I backed Desert Quest after his Ascot romp at 12/1 for the Champ Hdl, which was stupid as he's now available at 30s!!
