|
|
Those who have been around a while will know this is something that has been done for the past few years by either myself or Roger Green with around a month to go until the festival.
Basically, just vote for the horse you feel is an absolute banker for the Festival, and it would also be nice if you could leave a couple of lines below as to why you feel it so strongly that your chosen selection is the one to be on.
I have provided a list of the better fancied horses in certain races, though I cannot obviously put every well fancied horse on the list so if your banker isn't on the list, just chose other than state the horse's name here.
Happy voting!  _________________ CLICK LINK FOR DARK HORSES TO FOLLOW 2010

QUANTITATIVEEASING
Full brother to Asian Maze who has made short work of his opposition in three career starts, the first of them a decent bumper at Punchestown back in May. He has since won with contemptuous ease in two novice hurdle events, the first at Newcastle, then towards the end of last year at Newbury, coming home on the bridle on both occasions. The best is yet to come, will relish the extra distance he will be tackling in the Neptune Investements Novices' Hurdle and is a very classy prospect. _________________ CLICK LINK FOR DARK HORSES TO FOLLOW 2010

after watching Dunguib make a joke of its race in Ireland there can't be agreat deal that can beat it ...only worry is we haven't seen it under pressure yet but is there a horse that can put it under pressure? _________________ Always borrow money from a pessimist ..they don't expect it back |

# Bankers for me
Dunguib - Will annihilate the field in the supreme and with the fast pace likely you will see a big improvement with his jumping.Had the handbrake on at leopardstown which is why some of his jumping was sketchy.
Denman - will repeat his 2008 win, his fast accurate jumping will be too much for the mighty Kauto star.
Big Bucks - Streets ahead of his rivals and will repeat last years victory with ease. |

ive gone for zaynar,..i just remember his last run and he seemed to hit a flat spot ..and then stayed on..but i looked at the race again ..and im convinced its because they were not going fast enough for him i think this horse could be a monster
i would of hoped to of picked a bumper horse for my NAP..but the race is still up in the air,..but im sideing with d.weld..elegant concorde..  |

| Has to be Dunguib for me, based on the form so far there doesnt seem to be anything of the same class, won at the festival before and won all starts. unless there is a dark horse we havent seen yet or he falls should win. |

Iv gone for Big Bucks just ahead of Dunguib as i think there is a possiblity something may come from knowhere to beat Dunguib and his jumping is'nt all that sound even though i do expect it too win.
Garde Champetre is also another i expect to win along with Captain Cee Bee,those are my 4 bankers with Big Bucks being number one. |

I'm with mato on Zaynar. The race looks really open at first glance but while all the rest have been fighting it out over the last couple of months I'm convinced they are fighting to be the closest to watch Zaynars rear end disappear into the distance. He still hasn't been put into top gear in his races and I think theres more to come. _________________ Visit my each-way blog at: http://www.online-betting-guide.co.uk/forum/topic31_23328.html |

Go Native is my banker I know it looks an open Champion Hurdle but I think Go Native has done nothing wrong and is the one horse that seems to be improving. Also it is going for a £1 million Bonus. The danger to it I feel is Khyber Kim, also improving and also with a bonus of 200k awaiting.
No matter what I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!

| Voler Le Vedette in the mares hurdle. I have rarely seen horses that run like that, making smaller steps, but moving their legs faster. This is probably called turn of foot, but not every horse with turn of foot runs like that. Sorry I cant explain it better.This is more noticable in flat racing. So I think the horse is better than the form suggests and will be hard to beat even at level weights. |
