Findlay mad for fab four
The big-hitting punter loves smashing into short-priced market leaders and believes the quartet have outstanding chances in their respective races.
Dunguib is the 4-5 favourite with totesport to get the Irish off to a flyer in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle on Tuesday, while Master Minded is 8-11 for a third win in the Queen Mother Champion Chase 24 hours later.
His Paul Nicholls-trained stablemate Big Buck’s is just 4-7 for a repeat win in Thursday’s Ladbrokes World Hurdle with Kauto Star another shorter then even money in the Gold Cup on Friday.
Findlay, whose Denman will clash with Kauto Star, said: “I don’t see any negative for any of the hotpots.
“All the good judges say Dunguib is the fastest thing they have seen.
“Ruby (Walsh) schooled Master Minded recently and said that so long as he doesn’t fall off then he will win.
“Big Buck’s is a certainty and it will take a phenomenal performance for anything to beat Kauto Star, although I hope he gets beaten a short head by Denman!”
Findlay and fellow part-owner Paul Barber will also have their colours carried by totesport’s 9-2 favourite Alfie Sherrin in Thursday’s Pertemps Final.
And Findlay predicts he could go off even shorter.
“I like horses who go against the grain. He took it up early at Newbury and was all over the place but he still bolted in,” he added. “They are very happy with him and if things stay the same then you can expect me to be lumping on.”
