Backed the winner at a good price. Hindsight is easy, grade 1 horse in a handicap but supposedly dodgy jumper.
Alright if I have a week off?
Just making the point that if we had no reservations about his jumping ability the winner was a good bet.
He chucked in a couple of scary ones (esp 2nd Bechers) but with Townend on board keeping him upright and hugging the rail to stop too much of the left-jumping bias, I was pretty confident by the Melling Road he'd reel them in. Just never thought he'd have afterburners to fire like he did. Amazing - but that pedigree screamed Tiger Roll.
Roi Mage 9th and Kittys 5th covered my stakes so Max provided the gravy. 185% profit - should keep us in single malt for another year. I'm off for a large one right now. Cheers all.
Thanks Peanuts a nice little profit for me, backed all the others each way but Max just felt too short for e/w odds so had him on the nose. That worked out well.

Cheers @Addick Addict Just wasn't to be for our fella. Don't think he'd have troubled Max even if he'd jumped off OK but he was an unlucky faller at the Chair. Great shame. Mr Unlucky.
EDIT - UR in fact, jumped it fine, just straight into Mahler's bum.

Nice one. Well done that man.
It was down to two things, my luck and your judgement. Thanks for the tips!
I won a little bit of money to afford a nice takeaway tonight thanks to @PeanutsMolloy but the Mrs will have to put the holiday brochure down for another year. Kitty’s Light!
Ok, I've taken the advice and I'm on 9 horses. What could possibly go wrong? I Am Maximus 2 wins £72 Corach Rambler Mr Incredible Limerick lace 1 win for 10 places £3 Kitty's Light 1 win for 6 places £10 Galia Des Liteaux 2 wins for top 10 £29 Roi Mage 2 wins for top 10 £30 Glengouly Farouk D'Alene

Corach Rambler could go at the first.
Never in a million years, I say never in a million years.
Quick scan of the first 6, the only total outlier as far as the model's concerned is Minella Indo. Otherwise a pleasing result for its evolving Pedigree component. Strongest GN starred pedigree won it. 14 of the 32 that jumped off had 2+ Pedigree Pluses (44%). They contributed 1st and 2nd and 5 of the first 6 (83%). Season's stats are the issue - what might have been for its view of Delta Work and Galvin if they'd have run the XC and gone well?

Kitty’s was such a dilemma with the weather. What might have been on better ground? Didn’t quite see it out on today’s going but one hell of a run. We’ll break the bank next year
Thanks Peanuts; great thread again. Think I am up a quid or two but my phone is out of battery so can’t check until home! Made it home. Profit of £25. Given I don't have a clue what I am doing that is all down to peanuts. Thank you sir.
Legendary thread this, as ever. Made a penny on I Am Maximus at 16s thanks to the big dog. @PeanutsMolloy what is your charity of choice? IJF?
LOL. Cheers @PaddyP17 You’re too kind. Don’t have any doubt you’d have done very well today with or without my musings. IJF is great. Thank you. All the best.

I'm delighted for him as a former Top pick. Couldn't tick my model's boxes this season but I should have kept the faith!!
Many congrats.

Must be on Cloud 9 with his 6th.
