    Here we go!!!!!

    Tomorrows Decs are out. http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/racecards/12-03-2013/cheltenham/racecard/545869/william-hill-supreme-novices-hurdle-grade-1

    Here are my selections, based on nothing but my own research (I believe in "trends" @Cheltenham), rules (always oppose short priced Favs) and instinct .

    1.30 Champagne Fever
    2.05 Overturn
    2.40 Merry King
    3.20 Rock on Ruby
    4.00 Arabella Boy
    4.40 She Ranks Me
    5.15 Ohio Gold

    Of course things may change depending how thing start and how many Guinness I sink. Got a couple of Day Trippers with us tomorrow who may lead me astray......

    Good luck everyone. I'm there tomorrow and Wednesday and will be wearing my CL badge on the lapel of my jacket.

    I'm heavily invested on MTOY so got to stay loyal to that, Jezki's form has hardly been franked but I like dodging bullets as an e/w bet too. My main bet tomorrow will more than likely Overturn & Zarkandar e/w double, can't for the life of my seeing them both being unplaced!

    you'd be surprised .. the course drains very quickly and the wicked cotswold winds can dry out wet fields in a few hours

    Are they just fancies or tips?

    Really fancy Hey Big Spender in the 2.40... Heavy ground will suit and 33/1 is a great price

    5 favourites. Hmmmm. Creative thinking. Sadly I say no. Why? 5 favourites winning is very rare.
