	With the Alan Martin trained, Bog Warrior almost certain to go to Naas rather than contest this Grade 1 Dr PJ Moriarty Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Sunday, it would appear that only a disappointing four runners will go to post. The current favourite and very likely to stay at the top of the market is the Phillip Fenton trained, Last Instalment who has odds of 5/4 available from Bet365 which are likely to shorten further once it is officially announced that Bog Warrior, who is listed currently with odds of 7/4 is withdrawn.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/horse-racing/11022012/dr-pj-moriarty-novice-chase-odds-last-instalment-looks-for-4-timer-at-leopardstown.php</link><pubDate>2012-02-11 09:54:24</pubDate><category>horse racing</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deloitte Novice Hurdle Odds Cash And Go Favourite to Confirm Form with Sous Les Cieux]]></title><description><![CDATA[
	Edward O&rsquo;Grady&rsquo;s Cash And Go looks like going off as a narrow favourite to the land the odds and win the Grade 1 Deloitte Novice Hurdle over 2m2f on yielding ground at Leopardstown on Sunday.

	Godolphin go mob-handed for Thursday&#39;s Al Maktoum Challenge Round Two (sponsored by Dubal Group), although ironically it is South African trainer Mike De Kock&#39;s Master of Hounds who is set to start favourite.

	Saturday was Trials Day at Cheltenham and punters got a few more clues as to who could go close at the Festival in March. The highlight from the course was the win in the Cleeve Hurdle by Big Buck&#39;s, his fifteenth consecutive victory over hurdles and his second win in this race. The Paul Nicholls&#39; trained nine year old was already an odds on shot for a fourth consecutive World Hurdle in march, but Paddy Power clipped his price in further now making him 4/7 to win the Stayers. The David Pipe trained Dynaste was second in the race beaten seven lengths and he was clipped into 4/1 third favourite from 10&#39;s in the &#39;Without Big Buck&#39;s&#39; market with the Irish firm.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/horse-racing/30012012/big-bucks-and-hurricane-fly-the-big-market-movers-in-cheltenham-ante-post-betting.php</link><pubDate>2012-01-30 12:55:20</pubDate><category>horse racing</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial Odds Grumeti and Baby Mix go head to head on Cheltenham trials day]]></title><description><![CDATA[
	There&#39;s an early start at Cheltenham on Saturday as the racecourse hosts it&#39;s Trials Day for the Festival in March. First up is the JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial which has been won in the past by such names as Katchit, Franchoek and Walkon who went on to perform well in the big juvenile race at Cheltenham. This year&#39;s renewal brings together two of the leading ante-post betting contenders for the Triumph Hurdle.

	Star stayer Big Buck&#39;s bids to make it fifteen wins in a row on Cheltenham Trials Day on Saturday when he goes in search for his second Cleeve Hurdle victory. Unbelievably, the Paul Nicholls trained gelding is still only nine years old and if this season&#39;s performances are anything to go by he&#39;s a shoe in to record record fourth straight win in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Festival in March. Bookmaker Stan James go best price 1/4 about there being another 1 next to Big Buck&#39;s form figures after 3.40pm on Saturday afternoon and it&#39;s difficult to see this not being the case.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/horse-racing/27012012/cleeve-hurdle-betting-big-bucks-odds-on-to-make-it-15-in-a-row.php</link><pubDate>2012-01-27 14:22:40</pubDate><category>horse racing</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Irish Champion Hurdle Tips Hurricane Fly the obvious choice at Leopardstown]]></title><description><![CDATA[

	Formerly known as the MCR Hurdle, this weekend&rsquo;s Boylesports.com Hurdle over two miles is the feature race at Leopardstown on Saturday which has attracted, as it usually does, a large field of runners. They are headed in the betting by the Charlie Byrnes trained, Scottish Boogie, who had a couple of promising runs as a juvenile before being aimed at handicap racing. There is no doubt that the five year old has ability but he has yet to win in Handicap company which makes his odds of 6/1 with Paddy Power look a little bit amiss, particularly as favourites do not have a very good record in the race.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/horse-racing/27012012/boylesportscom-hurdle-odds-scottish-boogie-will-go-off-favourite.php</link><pubDate>2012-01-27 13:55:07</pubDate><category>horse racing</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[2012 Sky Bet Chase Odds Shakalakaboomboom heads betting for Henderson]]></title><description><![CDATA[
