Cheltenham festival 2018

Good luck for Cheltenham all of you (genuine, no hidden meaning).

Outsiders I like are First Flow 1.30, Cogry 2.50, Sizing Tennessee 4.50 and Demi Sang 5.30.

I do quite like Apples Jade, Buveur D'Air and Footpad - already had them AP so I have a little more value than current prices - but they're justifiably opposable today.

Thanks for the lols guys - but I mean it. This week of all weeks I'm a gamekeeper turned poacher!

Careful now, you're going the right way about getting an abuse flag

For what it's worth:

1.30 Kalashnikov
2.10 Footpad
2.50 Vintage Clouds
3.30 Buveur D'Air
4.10 Apples Jade
4.50 Ms Parfois
5.30 Ballyhill (EW)

Now arrived at Cheltenham. Slightly disappointing first day card for me, perhaps partly due to the weather - only 5 in the Arkle, Buveur D'air hard to oppose in the Champion Hurdle, Apple's Jade likely odds on winner in the Mares race. Looking for some value today.

1:30 Kalashnikov
2:10 Saint Calvados
2:50 Cogry
3:30 Wicklow Brave - ew
4:10 La Bague Au Roi - ew
4:50 No Comment
5:30 Testify

im going to put on first race, if i win will invest more so bad timing for my finances/ betting shame its this week. Will go through skybet to get the offer so get a free bet when i lose

A mate just messaged me saying he gets "Flash Odds" notifications from Will Hill, where they price boost for 15 mins a day at noon.

Today it was Petit Mouchoir to win the 2.10 Cheltenham. "Was 10/3 now 5/1" still wouldn't touch that with a barge pole! Hahahahaha

Robbo on the wing

First flow for me also.

I've done this also, so fingers crossed we are all rooting for the same one. Essentially a free bet so have only gone based on here

MrOneLung

Is the ground going to hamper the favourites or are they all proven on soft/heavy ground.

Just gonna lump the most tipped ones on here in a lucky 31 or something similar.

Matt Chapman with the gammiest chat I think I've ever heard when speaking to JP McManus just now!

Probably why Brian Gleeson jumped in pretty sharpish !

Covered End

I'm on Getabird 50/1 Ladbrokes offer.

Result 1.30 Cheltenham Sky Bet Supreme Novices Hurdle

1st 15 Summerville Boy 9/1
2nd 6 Kalashnikov 5/1
3rd 8 Mengli Khan 14/1

Covered End

Summerville Boy wins 9/1

"Horses don't win Supremes making mistakes like that, do they?"

Does point toward the renewal's slight lack of strength tbf.

Shame First Flow screwed it - seemed a bit spooked or something over a few of those round the back...

palarsehater

gonna be one of them weeks, i bang the drum about getabird not winning, and pick kalashnikov!

ValleyGary

Well that weren’t great

Riviera

Great start for @bobmunro and @philcafc

Shite. The amount of times I've had a horse done on the line going up that hill is a joke .

Not too shabby. Thought I might've been quids in before they reached the last.

Getabird pulled too hard but not quite sure why David Bass wanted to take him on with Final Flow. Perhaps he wanted to make it an even bigger test than it was likely to be anyway.
