Loving a pet is like no other love. Thank you for sharing, Chaumi.

But he’s a chaser now. And a winner at the festival.

Thank you, Giggsy!

Lecky Watson will like it soft at 50/1 too.

We will see what Haiti Coleurs is made of. Good to see him going over to Ireland. Looks a cracking field.

Ha, ha - thank you, Danny. Golden Ace is too good to write off, seriously! Winning form at the last two Cheltenhams, and potential challengers falling by the wayside. However, a CH without Sir Gino might encourage connections of both BDA and Lossiemouth to think again about their targets in...

De Bromhead’s recent form is a bit of a worry, mate. No winners in his last 15 runs and two odds on favourites beaten last week.

Absolutely bang-on, Grey!

I’ll find out tomorrow!

For those who still use X, please see link to a very interesting account that shares news and sports events from the exact corresponding day in 1975. Fascinating write-up of that day’s Thyestes Chase, and how Captain Christy had scared off most of the opposition, because he was being asked to...

One thing you are is fair, Mister B. I speak as one who once served a deserved one week ban.

Spanish Harlem ew for me.

I take your point, Ian, but you two grew to respect each other, because neither of you take offence at name-calling. And you largely deliver on your tips - you both have earned the respect of the forum. There’s a difference between that and calling a new member a C, and wantonly going on a...

You can’t say what you like - say exactly what you are thinking - anytime you feel like it, if the intention is to cause maximum offence, and not suffer consequences. Slim has absented himself many times from this forum over the years. The forum will be fine.

Welcome, Derek.

Banned for one/ two weeks for going on an effing and jeffing spree on Saturday. I fear drink may have been taken.

Using the original criteria, the two I will be backing are: Take a Hike (Freddie Keighley, 1-7 strike rate in the last 14 days); and Chosen Hero (Rian Corcoran, 1-13 strike rate). Thanks for the alert, Jayhawk.

I’ve only done the three so far, all involving Golden Ace in the CH. Two ew doubles, with Lecky Watson and Haiti Coleurs; and one ew single at 16/1. Seven weeks out, I would usually have a proper portfolio on the go. I don’t think ‘Festival Fever’ has set me alight just yet.

Thanks for the clarification.

I don’t agree. I’ve just watched a re-run. CH is always within three lengths of the other two, and the three of them were almost in line, when DD fell. The race fell apart to the extent that CH won by as many lengths as he was capable. Whatever way that race is run, CH is still winning it by a...
