The way I usually bet in the big competitions is I like ti get a few dogs at big prices and lay them off after a couple of rounds and basically have them 'running for me' for free. Obviously that plan went a bit astray last year in Dublin when I refused to lay off my Shelbourne Aston ticket - luckily he got up and won!
I have already advised a 1pt EW bet at 100/1 on Droopys Lee. Today I am adding Greenwell River to my 'portfolio' and am advising a 1pt win bet at 66/1 with VC Bet.
RECOMMENDATION: GREENWELL RIVER 1pt Win 66/1 VCBet
My tactics too Johnny but might way till the draw has been made before stepping in.
What do you know about Droopys Noel, he's in at Wimbledon but press reports say he'll go for the Champion Stakes and the Irish Derby.

Great minds think alike Johnny,although i'm a bit cheesed that i only got 66's even after connections said that they might not go for the Derby!!

Cheers Johnny.
Droopys Lee got a nice draw, Greenwell River a bit tougher but with four going through you'd hope he'd be OK.

You'd think that barring a bang at the bend all the big names will go through.
Licking my lips big time - will be perched at the 1st bend for every race.

Nice one, gonna have to get my act together and get down there next year. Need to have a look at the market too and get some ante-post positions before the weekend.
