Ante-Post Punting Plans/Propositions Thread.

Some great philosophical debates happening on here today, with words I've never heard of, but I'm pleased to learn in time for 2025.

Anyway, back to the racing, will this meeting go ahead tomorrow? I hope so.

Any contributions on the action? Please do.

Oh let's have your analysis, Jin.

The only one I've backed so far is Deep Cave in the handicap hurdle.

I've just taken a chance really, he could and should improve a bit from the last run, though whether that'll be enough I don't know.

Get well soon by the way. Happy New Year for when it arrives.
 
Key questions in the other races, does Gemirande need to improve from the last win to win again tomorrow? Was the official handicapper reaction about right?
Colonel Harry? Good horse still, or questions to answer?

This Irish horse Lisnamult, is he capable of a big run again back at this track?

Thanks in advance.
 
Ive texted him the following:
Race 1
Only three runners and one I like, Kalif du Berlais is odds on

Race 2
Think Pierrot Jaguen is interesting in this

Race 3
Tricky race as all have a fair chance
Probably plump for either Cloudy Glen or Bowtogreatness

Race 4
Big fan of Gemirande while I wouldn’t put you off Springwell Bay
Both like the course

Race 5
What a Johnny obv for name (Nephew's girlfriends father is called Johnny) but I think he’s ok. Twig (at a good ew price) always seems to outrun his odds and might be worth a little on

Race 6
I thought Golden Ace would be a short fav. She should be as she’s v decent. She’s my selection

Race 7
If you’re still going, this is a bumper (flat race!)
Either Gonome or Our Boy Stan

Outside Cheltenham have had a little on Cleatus Pootlaw at Fairyhouse 3pm as I always thought he'd make a nice chaser and he slipped last time rather than fell.
 
Didn't post this but I have double figures about Colonel Harry tomorrow. I'm doing well this jumps season but not on the handicaps so tempers confidence. Springwell Bay is feared and I might use him as cover but I think the handicapper has got hold of Gemirande now.

Followed you with the Colonel for my patent. Golden Ace is in there too.

I've got both of the above in my Ten To Follow, so with a bit of luck, they both win, catapulting me to near top of the leader board, for the month of January, anyway. :)
 
Mine ran like he needed the run fitness wise.

It's New Years Day 2025, I was hoping he'd be fully fit.

Finished fifth in the end. Probably pocket talk from me.

Drifted late to 15/2 which was very disconcerting. I wasn't impressed by what I saw in the paddock.

Maybe others weren't either, which caused the drift.

Nevermind.
 
Think the rain has caught a few out today. Golden Ace came there nicely and just struggled to get home. Wouldn't give up on her.
Gemirande too didn't look like he enjoyed the ground either, a point made by Venetia beforehand.
Not the most inspiring days racing for me and my Irish hunch was overturned too. Winner had been off for a long time (Champ Kiely) and won well - he could be useful.
