For the hottie lovers using the Tabform guide for Longchamp please note the betting shows the fav Snowfall at 2/1.
This was the forecast betting taken from Attheraces.

The actual price is a skinny 1/3 odds on.

Ryan Moore stays in Ireland and Dettori does duty on Snowfall today so there's a double or treble to play around with trainer A O' Brien today.

You see sometimes their incompetence can help the punter using the free TAB sheet.
BETTING: 19-5 REBEL KNIGHT; 5-1 TRI FOR US; 11-2 TIMELY OUTBURST; 7-1 LA FAROLA; 8-1 DOUBLE JEOPARDY; 12-1 AND UPWARDS

Even money favorite not even in their forecast betting and the 33-1 winner was predicted to be 7-1 by them.

It's not incompetence, it's just their source of betting, and as pointed out before, it can be helpful in scenarios like the one you've just pointed out Durbs.

If they decide on the quickmix legs on the day they should be able to get a better forecast but I suppose it is hard if they decide the day before.

Their choice of quickmix legs is one that irks me more than anything. When they put in some 30 runner handicap from Ireland, or some shit race from Ngong or Zim where punters may think they're not betting blind but they actually are, apart from the few with Zim connections. There are more than enough races to find, if not in the UK then even in America.
