More than annoying. I am encouraged by how badly the favourites are doing at the festival. I mean look at the SPs for yesterdays winner and a 25/1 winner in that first race.

Bookies are laughing.

With 2 races to go where trainers can see how bad the ground is / how bad good ground horses are running….i cant see there not being another non runner in the 335

How long does it take smarkets to declare non runners too…only just done it!

No value in 2tbp market either due to 2 short favourites.
Already lightning (which has since kept falling), but will hold off Lancaster and zelzal to v near the off…. and hope I don’t get side tracked at work.

Ffs just seen londinium won the last

I’d got on the win at an arb, but had drifted so much an hour ago (especially on place) I cashed out the entire bet and lay on win for a small profit.

Well Lancaster and Toscanini are pace-makers technically for the top 2 so I don’t see them not running including Zelzal as it’s come from France. However Lightning, Here Comes and Kool could all stuff us.

Churchill at 1535, bet365 at 3, smarkets 3.2 / place 1.26

You’d be mad to place ew bets on the 15:35 now.

I’m thinking Paddy knew this all along so that’s why 29.0 stuck around forever, because he’ll never have to pay out 3rd place… Optimist ain’t I?

Adio I dont think any of us will be taking place arbs on the 335 now…already got too much liability!

My worst scenario according to smarkets is Lightning 3rd in a 7 runner race. If there is a non runner please be one of the 2 favs :)

Feltip- 2 of those 3 soft ground, the other ‘effective on any ground’ according to sportinglife
I think the 2 pacemakers may be a bigger risk, hopefully not though

Kool Kompany is the only non runner risk in my opinion. All the others have run on varying ground and/or the all weather tracks.

Lightning Spear’s win lay odds to crashed in at least

Kool be the worst one too as such high odds no NR gains. Wonder what pressure bookies putting on the trainer right now grr

Anyway i have a meeting for next hour so just have to walk away and hope. Good lucks

Churchill non runner!!!

Wow Churchill gone.

Punt and hope people.

Oh boy this is not gonna be a good watch
