I don't have much knowledge of the nags but that sustained support for Give Battle intrigued me at Chepstow, it seemed to be based on form over the jumps. Has it finished the race yet?

I usually keep track roughly of where they're at to help in deciding if they might be finished but they were up so much I didn't need to anymore lol

Before reading your post earlier, I never thought to keep track of them. I'll certainly be doing so from now on.

It's useful to keep a rough eye on the following also:
- how many spikes
- frequency between spikes
- time the activity starts / stops
- what their stake size is (some ppl use liability staking)
- how price sensitive they are (what sort of distance they're willing to move the price w/ their bets)

all valuable information in the next

interesting someone backing the frontrunner for about half the starting price, like newcastle 18:00 natty night SP 7 and someone placing enough money on it after it won the start in a 1m4f race to move price to 3.6. then quickly moved up again to 7, was actually fast enough to lay him this time, happened already at least 2 of the previous races...

might be the same guy thats causing these big pre race moves?

it seemed to be based on form over the jumps.

It could be based on almost anything. When prices get way out of the expect range I think considerations like form have gone out of the window. Prices and real world likelihoods have little relationship to each other at times like these.

All very interesting, every day is a school day.. Thanks Eightbo, I'm not sure why I haven't spent more time in this forum ha.

well if thats the case shouldnt trade out as price is bad value??

won easy, front runner Clifton backed at 2.7 for a few thousand again with SP 4.something

He won again, 18:45. He's crazy!
