Moaned about his weight and then he absolutely trounced the horses he faced at Cheltenham. If he was running he would be very low odds. They'll be kicking themselves after Cheltenham.

Plus his would have been consecutive, whereas Red Rum had 2 years to wait until his 3rd. Red Rum ran with 11 stone 8 on his 3rd and 12 stone on his second.

That's why E.W is the way to go with the prices so big. Cloth cap could easily fall or be brought down by another horse falling in front of it. Have you lumped on?

If someone offered such a 9/2 good thing normally it would be backed off the boards and end up no price at all. It's 14lb ahead of the weights over 4 and a half miles. It keeps out of trouble, it wins. But I can't bring myself to back it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I've taken advantage of Bet365's money back offer (they give you half of your stake back as soon as you place a bet*) and have backed a fair few. Cloth Cap is one but that was the last bet I placed and I had planned to skip it. *you have to have had an account open by midnight Wednesday and bets need to be placed before midday tomorrow.

That's the thing though, it's much easier to stay out of trouble in the race than it used to be. When Tiger Roll won last time I hadn't planned to back it because of the odds, but at the last second I walked up to one of the on course bookmakers and chucked something on it. The year before was a last minute choice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
