Cheltenham 2015

smiffyboy

With only two weeks to go and now being back in the country apart from cafc all my attention and anticipation is being drawn to the festival and hopefully ending it with a nice tidy profit. Apart from the normal horses that are fancied to win, two horses for me at decent odds are stand out for me ATM that I'm expecting to go well,

Vigil currently 9/1 in the Weatherbys champion bumper

Edeymi although not confirmed what race he will be in I'm hoping he runs in the pertemps.

Anyone else have and pre festival fancies?

I've got no idea why, but I keep getting to drawn towards one of Nicky Hendersons horses - cocktails at dawn. I'm going to have a wager on that amongst others, so suggest everybody else avoids!

Covered End

Glad you reminded me it's coming up. We're going on Thursday 12th.
As for tips. No idea & I always get cleaned out.

Will be there all week and can't wait. Haven't looked at it closely yet and my only current real fancy is Many Clouds in the Gold Cup.

Wondered why my short break in the Cotswolds was so expensive. Bloody horse racing:(

Going to day one and very excited-my first trip to Cheltenham.

Haven't done too much research yet but see Paddy Power are refunding losing bets on the first two races if the favourite wins.....
