Grands Crus is proving very weak with StanJames.com ahead of the World Hurdle on day three of the Cheltenham Festival.
"Grands Crus is one of our strong fancies this weak, so we were hoping he would do us a favour and beat our World Hurdle bogey Big Buck's," said StanJames.com spokesman Garry McGibbon. "The trouble is he's friendless. As things stand Grands Crus will be a cracking result for us if he wins, but we certainly seem to be alone in fancying him."
In other market news, StanJames.com report plenty of each-way interest in the 2.05 Pertemps Final, a race in which the online firm are paying five places. Michael Flips and the 2010 Grand National winner Don't Push It have proved particularly popular, both being cut from 33/1 to 20/1.
StanJames.com are also taking a pounding on their Happy Hour horse, Wishfull Thinking, who they are opposing in the opener at Cheltenham, the Jewson Novices' Chase. Wishfull Thinking is currently best-priced 4/1 with StanJames.com.
