Anyone going?

Fancies?

Going on the Wednesday, where Master Minded should bolt up in the QM but 2/7 is not a price worthy of anything. I fancy 'Briareus' ew as a value bet @ 16s.
Also backing 'What a friend' for the RSA & 'Diamond Harry' in the Ballymore.

Gold Cup: Denman at 7-1 now is huge in my book, Nicholls has said he working very well and to forget the last run. But i will be backing the Queen's horse 'Barbers Shop' ew @ 14s. Seems to be improving all the time. Queen is due to be there Gold Cup day, interesting.

    Friend of mine is really keen on Kalahari King in The Arkle, he's already lumped on him Ante-post.
    For me the week begins with Torphichen in the first, David Pipe has said it is his best chance for the week. The result of the that race will determine my whole week.

    I've stayed in Broadway before which is fantastic (Lygon Arms) but am doing the Tote train in the morning and back in the evening.

    Cannot wait but need to find some cash by Friday!

    I'm going Thursday. Had tickets for Wednesday last year which was called off due to the high winds and had tickets for the year before and got the flu and missed out :-(

    My hot tip is that I won't be able to go Thursday for some reason :-)

    Sublimity is a great e/w but I think Simon needs further and heavier ground. Would be great for the National if it rained.

    Golden Silver 16/1e/w 1.30


    Have done a treble on
    Cousin Vinny
    Binocular
    Quevega

    Top punting!

    TV commentators dont arf talk some cobblers.

    Jim McGrath just said Binocular ran one paced up the hill! Utter nonsense.

    Also, Radio 5 guys covering up for Mullins Jnr who gave far Cousin Vinny far too much to do. A better jockey would've got him closer.

    Have backed L'Ami as a cover!!

    Chasing on the 1st day!!

    Been given tip of Unforgettable in one of fridays races.
    This is from a former manager at my workplace, who is one of the owners of a horse recently pulled out of the gold cup. Gave it to us as a tip after her horse was withdrawn after we had lumped on ante post.

    Got 9's for Paddydeplaster and had some of the winnings on Quevega in the last. Had four bets today and 2 came in. Gone for Kauto Star in the Gold Cup and Walkon in the Triumph.
