I feel like I'm missing a trick in Dundalk. Just cannot pick a winner bar the odd pin sticker there

Was looking at the Champion chase market there with the news Sprinter is retired.
Douvan obv very short but quite a few others next in betting are very unlikely to run there.(UDS/VVM/Black herc). The 25/1 about Ar Mad looks quite appealing, hes fav for Tingle creek at moment and a horse i really liked last year.
I think there is a possible issue with Ar Mad going left handed. I like Sizing John at 33/1 who was 4 lenths clear of Fox Norton in last seasons Arkle with that horse being the current second favourite.
You are onto something with the ante post angle as the markets for the four championship events being dominated by the same horses, who have question marks over what route they are going and who even have question marks over where there next race will be.
In a related matter I think WP Mullins needs to take off that set of blinkers he has on as he seems determined to turn Nichols Canyon into a World Hurdle horse when he is clearly an out and out 2 miler.
What makes it all the more puzzling is that he trains Shaneshill for the same owners who is an out and out staying hurdler.
Apples jade is my weekend plunge in Newcastle, fighting fifth hurdle.
Also, what's the word on Annie power? Hearing she is retired

Not much joy I'm afraid. Elliott will be disappointed if it doesn't run into the money (I'd never be confident when I hear that).
Accordian Twilight is fancied by the yard, was well backed over night but is now drifting + small yards often fancy theirs without success.
TL/DR I haven't a clue
Braughton Star 2nd

Bobo Mac is one I've had in my notebook since an eyecatching run over C&D in March, might still be a small bit of value at 11 on the machine and Codd up
Auspicion, 1530 Newc tomorrow, similar profile to Charles Molson, Good sectionals havin met trouble in running twice. The early Ew thieves were out and snapped up the 12/1.

Thought I had spotted a sneaky one last night but those pesky stewards had to go and ruin it . First time I've seen the excuse of the jockey cramping up.
SPOILER
Race 7 - 3:40pm
THE BETWAY HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)
The Stewards held an enquiry into the running and riding of BUNBURY, placed fourth, ridden by Stephen Cummins and trained by Richard Hughes, which appeared to be tenderly ridden in the latter stages of the race to finish fourth, beaten 3 ¼ lengths, a short head and a nose for second. They interviewed the rider and the trainer’s representative. They also received a report from the Veterinary Officer who confirmed that the gelding was post-race normal during routine testing. The rider stated his instructions were to jump out and to settle the gelding in mid division as it had run freely in previous races then ask for an effort 4 furlongs out under hands and heels as the gelding does not run for the whip. He further added that having slotted in from a wide draw BUNBURY settled well and he was pleased with the way the gelding picked up around the final bend. However, he began to cramp up about 1 ½ furlongs out and was unable to ride out fully to the line. The trainer’s representative confirmed the instructions and was satisfied that Cummins rode to them, but acknowledged that he may not be fully race fit due to inexperience and could have been stronger in the final stages of the race. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race the Stewards found the rider in breach of Rule (B)59.4 and guilty of failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures to obtain the best possible placing. They suspended him for 10 days as follows: Wednesday 7 to Saturday 10 December and Monday 12 to Saturday 17 December 2016.
n the last 14 days Bridget Andrews has been on 12 Skelton horses. 3 didn't finish but of the other 9, 5 came 1st or 2nd.
She is going to Doncaster for 2 rides tomorrow over a very useful type in Get On The Yager who is odds on at Newcastle.
Her rides are
Applesandpierres who bolted up on debut and then bombed when fav. - around 15/2
Cobra De Mai who is bottom weight and the same 120 mark as when 4th at Chepstow last month. He beat El Terremento home that day (getting 7lb) who has won 2 on the bounce since - around 7/1
Wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of them go close

She mightn't be the worst jockey riding tomorrow but shes definitely Top 3. Those horses won despite her not because of her.
Watched Power Grids run in Fundalk tonite a couple of times and have never seen a jockey run up the arse of more horses than Halpin did tonite.
Feane is a trainer to watch and horse must be getting ready for the Christmas money.

Someone mentioned the Crawley horse in the bumper at Navan to me. Forgot to check earlier and see its into 14s from 50s so will leave it alone now vs a Mullins & two Elliott runners but shall watch with interest...

Milburn Jack in the first at Kempton has been absolutely smashed. Opened at 14s and is now as short as 15/8
Meant to be the fabled "Christmas money for the yard"
