Highly unoriginal tomorrow:-

Nichols Canyon
Don Poli
Baradari & Ttebbob (small stakes, big odds)
Champagne Fever
Any Currency
Can't split All Yours & Arabian Revolution
Moon Racer with maybe a dabble on Pyleonthepressure

If Kings Palace wins I've got a very big hat ready for my dinner, although the fact Simon has backed it has me a little concerned.

Neptune.

No doubt in my mind that Windsor Park will reverse placings with Nichols Canyon

Connections are ultra confident and the money is down.

Windsor Park nb

RSA Well here's a race Ruby has no chance in but WPM has yet another potential stable star in Don Poli.

He looked very good in his last win but this company is a totally different ball game.

I do like Kings Palace and I am not the least but concerned about what happened last year.

What beats King Palace wins

Coral Cup. Hammersley Lake was my original dark horse in the competition before I had to change it.

I may kick myself but I really like Bear's Affair he's tough carries weight well and isn't overly burden with Freddie Mitchell claiming 7lbs

He's never ran at Cheltenham but I think it will suit him and he won't mind the ground either

Bear's Affair 50.0 taken will back him for place(5) later

QMCC. SPRINTER SACRE

After what turned out to be a brilliant day yesterday the financial pressure is off and I just want to enjoy what should be a great race.

I never doubted Nicky Henderson for one minute. He has the patience of a saint and has done a great job getting the horse here.

The fact that Barry Geraghty is very bullish about his chances (Won't be beat he reckons) Nico says he's back to where he was and NJH is confident but being as cautious with is words as ever
has fallen on deaf ears and SDG is now favourite.

All this rubbish about him being able to run 20lbs below his best and still win is complete nonsense. It may work that way on a Friday afternoon round Doncaster but it certainly doesn't work that way in a QMCC.

One of 2 things will happen imo he will destroy them or bomb out completely.

I think he'll prove every one of his doubters wrong and win easily.

Sprinter Sacre (Nap) too many bets to count :)

Cross Country

Was told yonks ago to back Ducca Lucca AP for this so I did will also back him in the place market later.

Fred Winter...backed the winner in this once don't expect I will again but ya never know.

Dai Bando ew is better than his bare form suggests as is Box Office ew

Unanimite ew Hostile Fire ew

Nothing jumps out at me so a Fiver ew on each is all this race is worth.

Bumper;

Not looking past David Pipe's Moon Racer in this.

He looks a bit special and may outgun the Mullin.s brigade.

Bets.

3 ew doubles ew treble

Small ew Hammersly Lake
 
Amazed there's still 7/2 available about what should be a 6/4 shot in Sprinter Sacre, and fully expect him to expose his last run as the pissing about in public it clearly was.
 
King's Palace. Took 20s in the Autumn and have topped up since. Also have him as the second part of a double with the Lanzarote winner. Important bet.
Don Poli looks the only danger so will probably hedge - not decided how yet. Double him with Parlour Games I think because I'm not convinced about Willie's hurdlers in the opener.

Champagne Fever @ 8/1. Also used one of my free bets care of L'Ami Serge on him @ 11/2
