I’m also on Bravemansgame (13/2) and I got a lovely boosted double this week, Honeysuckle to win the Champion Hurdle and Facile Vega to win the Champion Bumper - 4/1.
heading to the races on weds and thursday stopping in brum both nights and then have booked a table at the redwood london bridge on the friday for gold cup.
Going mob handed on the Tuesday. Can't wait after the 2 year hiatus. Getting the steam train from Toddington into the back of the course. Another vote for BMG here as the big hope of the week, backed at 12's antepost. Suspect he'll be rare winner for GB as the Irish hand our arse to us again. The Supreme looks an absolute blockbuster and a fitting way to kick it all off

Aside from the fact that only a tit like O'Dreary would overrule a trainer with Elliott's track-record (on the track!), Elliott is absolutely right about Conflated. Judging by his strong credentials to be there or thereabouts in a GN, IMHO, he'd be suited by a much sterner test of stamina than the Ryanair, certainly on decent ground. He'd carry a shilling of mine if lining up in the GC.
Going to the Gold Cup this year, can't wait. Never been before - any tips on food, drink, etc?
Expensive, also alot of queues. Kind of have to go against the grain when going to the bar/food and if its empty just go before the inevitable busy hits. We ate there by the top bit, cant remember it being anything special and slightly overpriced. The guinness bar was good pre races, was a bit quieter and easier to get a drink.
Stopped going to Cheltenham and Royal Ascot in the early 90s, when the over-crowding was getting ridiculous and the ticket prices seemed to be going up in leaps and bounds. Just like to go to new courses now.
anyone taking on Honeysuckle ? .. she still has the 7lb advantage of course as does Epatante who I've had a small punt on and I'll have a couple on Adagio who suffers from extreme seconditis .. worth a quid e/w

I paid £75 for my tickets as soon as went on sale they are now at £100 each per day.
next year will likely return to the Dublin racing festival as it’s a full weekend and same calibre of horses
Elliott braced for O'Leary argument as he reveals Gold Cup hope for Conflated
