    Wouldn't touch Sprinter Sacre with a barge pole at those odds, struggle to get 5/2 on at most places

    1.3 on the exchanges!
  • JTJT
    He is the banker though.

    I still like Binocular at an e/w price in the Champ hurdle. Previous festival form is a massive plus imo

    My e/w ante-posts have been a disaster ... one dead (no meat pie etc jokes please) .. Darlan and one crocked .. Katenko.... I will save the rest of my dwindling punt pot until much closer to the off

    Imperial Commander out of the GC - what a shame.

    Will be there all week as usual. Best week of the year for me. No idea who to back at present however.

    Grands Crus in the World Hurdle E/W at 16/1 but do it with Betfred who are going N/R No Bet so money back if it doesn't run in the race.
  • NicholasNicholas
    A few other free bets and other good offers people may be interested in.

    Paddy Power - Money back on all losers if Hurricane Fly wins the champion hurdle.

    Bet Victor- Money back if you dont win any money on the Supreme Novice Hurdle upto £50

    Ladbrokes- Money back if Simonsig loses in the Arkcle chase upto £25

    Coral- Even money on Sprinter Sacre (1-4 with most other bookmakers) in the Champion chase. Maximum bet £20. One for @JT

    A fella that gave me green moon weeks before the Melbourne cup has been mentioning a horse called rattan. It's entered into 3 races at Cheltenham at the moment.
    He's given us a couple of other good priced winners over the last year or so, as well as a few duffers.

    Weather forecast is poor. I hope Tuesday's not frozen off (& Monday).
    I missed out a couple of years ago, due to the hurricane :-(

    Grand Crus out

    If Quito De La Roque lines up fit and well (admittedly a significant IF after his defection from the Bobbyjo) for the big one on Friday, seems to me that 50/1 NRNB is appealing as an e/w. Not uncommon for an overlooked one to be staying on up the hill to grab a place. If really on top form he could spring a surprise.
    Please note, NO MODEL at work here - just my highly suspect penchant for a long-shot.
  • LincsaddickLincsaddick
    The GC looks to be wide open this year Peanuts, especially given the unpredictable weather possibly in the offing for next week .. could be snow, sunshine, hurricanes or balmy breezes .. we need to find a horse for all potential courses ...

    Been told that Hunt Ball will definitely win Byrne Group Plate on Thursday by a cabbie who allegedly picked up the owner the other day.
  • NicholasNicholas

    Cabbies and there conversation starters lol. Saying that I actually fancy Hunt Ball in that race

    Oh well, Quito De La Roque bites the dust in terms of a possible GC shock - presumably still not 100%.
    Good luck JT.

    Good question. I did immediate think of Florida Pearl, what a great horse he was. I think he only won two being the Bumper and the RSA Chase. He had a good go at both the Gold Cup and the QM and I think got placed in both.
  • RivieraRiviera
    I wouldn't worry too much about the weather Covered End, sure it's going to be cold but the course has had frost covers on all weekend.

    Yeah, but like Charlton's they only work to -2C I think.

    Anyway Tuesday's forecast for Cheltenham has improved. Bromley now has snow forecast all day.
    I'm more concerned about the trains now :-)

    What the hell, I'll join you for old time's sake - he's still 66/1 and it's about time for another Norton's Coin ;o)

    Dead right. Terrific horse.
    One that probably would have done it had he stayed sound was Monsignor. Won the bumper in 1999, then went unbeaten for the next 6, beating Best Mate in the Tolworth in the process and culminating in setting the Cheltenham course record when winning the RSA Nov Hurdle in 2000. Sadly that would be his last race before an injury-enforced retirement when only 6. Would surely have been a serious contender for the RSA Chase in 01 and a rival to Best Mate during his reign.
