    The decision will have to be made by then as Tuesday’s 48 hour decs will go in.

    Cheltenham Going on Day 1?

    I don't need to see a weather forecast to tell me that 13/8 about the ground remaining worse than good-soft over the next 6 days is too big.

    Cheltenham Going on Day 1?

    Not that well though James. Soft, heavy in places 6 days out with rain forecast. It'll surely take a miracle for it to be good-soft Tuesday morning. The 13/8 Soft (inc Soft, heavy in places) is wrong. Good-Soft is 4/7 and they should be the other way around

    Cheltenham Going on Day 1?

    There's a dry run up until the weekend but then rain all weekend and through to the day itself. Betting on going descriptions is not something I'd ever normally do but Skybet have surely made a rick in having good-soft odds on and Soft available at 13/8. It's the first description they announce...

    Cheltenham Handicaps

    This morning in the RP Jonjo O’Neill was left scratching his head after Monbeg Genius’s below-par effort at Kelso last weekend but said he may use the Ultima Handicap Chase as preparation for next month's Randox Grand National. The eight-year-old was pushed out to 33-1 (from 16) with Coral for...

    Cheltenham Festival:Thursday Races

    My Thursday has just blown up in light of Elliott confirming on RTV that Irish Point is now going for the Champion Hurdle. Tw*t. I had lots at 16s and a few fivers at 32

    Cheltenham Festival: Wednesday Races

    Wednesday my quietest day AP by far and currently returns revolve around Ballyburn (if he runs) and Slade Steel (if he doesn't), Fact to File and You Oughta Know/Fleur Au Fusil in the Bumper.

    Cheltenham Festival: Tuesday Races

    Supreme : Assuming Ballyburn goes Wednesday (50/50 I'd say) I like Jeriko Du Reponet. I get that he hasn't posted any high numbers but the races haven't been run to suit and I like how he's been strong through the line and I think the form of the Rossington Main is better than people are giving...

    I’m not feeling it....

    2 years ago 6 of us flew in from Surrey by private helicopter that picked us up on a grassy area right outside the house into the course followed by 2 x Bentley transfer into the Horse & Groom (great hospitality spot) then return flight that took 35 minutes as opposed to 4.5 hours by train. Cost...

    I’m doing exactly the same this year but 10 of us in Benalmadena Mon-Sat. Where you staying Grass ?

    Cheltenham 2024 NRNB

    And 138 the year before but that’s only twice in the past 10 years that 137 wouldn’t have made the cut.

    Your most important Cheltenham selections

    Bet365 are still 10/1 Premier Magic in the Foxhunters and I keep topping up. For me he is by a long way the best priced horse running at the festival. He won it last year and watch how unlucky he is in the last half mile, twice fuck3d over by the loose horse and although you can’t see it in the...

    Cheltenham 2024 NRNB

    I am on for the Ultima, where has it been indicated that he'll go for the Plate ?

    The 2024 Longshot Thread

    I hope you're right DO. I've been on him at nice prices since he was 2nd in the Kerry Nash in September. I do think it could be quite a hot NH Chase this year though.

    Cheltenham 2024 NRNB

    Me too. I was pleasantly surprised there was some 10/1 NRNB available shortly after and then 8s held up most of the afternoon before settling on 7s. If Ballyburn goes to the Baring Bingham then Tullyhill goes off a short priced fav ahead of Mystical Power IMO. He'd be odds on in the admittedly...

    Jockey News

    Whatever my opinion on his ability, if I were a jockey that’d ridden close to 1,000 winners and a Cheltenham championship winner for my Dad then I’d retire pretty happy. Being good at any professional sport isn’t just about ability or tactical awareness. Mindset, dedication and - in that sort...
