Cheltenham Handicaps

[chroniclandlord]

For a stable that came into the meeting under the cloud, Twiston Davies has had a great meeting.

Anyone know the cut off time for bookies pricing up tomorrows races for Pricewise columns? The 33/1 with Corals for Hisaabaat for the County tomorrow dried up at just after 4.30, wondered if it'd be back again in the morning for a top-up! 25/1 with 5 places at PP is a good bet too, the owner looking for a festival double.

I think Midnight game is overpriced tomorrow in the VOB.

Haven't touched a handicap all week but this one is tempting

He hasn't finished yet

 

[On The Bridle]

I think Mullins could win both handicap hurdles tomorrow.....

 

[Ardross]

Didn't we all back Carrickboy.........,,last ******* year

Yes I am a member of the backed the ******* in the Centenary Novices Chase club.

I have had a great run in the Pertemps having back Buena Vista twice and Cape Tribulation but today I decided in favour of Ely Brown over Holywell

 

[Desert Orchid]

Shadow Catcher is my idea of a plot (along with the two dozen others) in the County.

He was only 10/1 for the Triumph, in which he was hampered and eased, off 142. With a normal British campaign, he might well have been running off around 150 but gets in here off 138 after just one hurdles race this season. He’s a must bet.

Yes....and I had not a sow on him yesterday.

 

[Diamond Geezer]

The handicap queen strikes again

Posted this when the weights came out, expect another one this afternoon

Using this as an example I'd better have one thing on Oh Crick in the last today, fancied it strongly last year and it's a 40/1 shot today!

Another member signing in. Got 20/1 ante-post last year. Backed Vino Griego (win-only) yesterday.

I like Ifandbutwhynot in the County but Brampour keeps taking my eye at a huge price. He represents last year's truly-run Champion Hurdle form (when his jockey couldn't claim) off a very low mark, has big-field Cheltenham handicap form to his name and first-time blinkers today. Poor recent form, of course, but that's why he's 70 on Betfair.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Brave effort by Tennis Cap in the County.

 

[granger]

Reasonably priced handicapped winner

 

[Bar the Bull]

Ha, glad I didn't back Tennis Cap in the end (would have only gone win).

Even when you pick a good one, there is often one laid out to beat it or a complete boilover. I will not be betting on the handicaps next year unless I fancy one.*

* This means I will be betting on almost every handicap.

Cotton Mill might have bounced.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Brave effort by Tennis Cap in the County.

I thought Casey judged the pace well, just met one better handicapped.

 

[reet hard]

Cotton Mill might have bounced.

Maybe now they'll accept he isn't a 2 miler?

 

[treetangle]

Village Vic looks incredibly short for a horse who should have problems with both trip and ground.

 

[Desert Orchid]

I've aimed the scattergun at the last two handicaps. If I can find the winner of either I'll probably end the week marginally in front.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Nicholls finally off the mark.

 

[links781]

I think if carberry settles kid Cassidy in the last it's got a massive chance.

 

[Steve T]

I think if carberry settles kid Cassidy in the last it's got a massive chance.

Think he's been replaced by Jeremiah McGrath

 

[links781]

Already backed him,just hoping he can settle him.The horse is nuts after the electric shock at Newbury but its got talent.

 

[granger]

What a week for the Irish

 

[Euronymous]

Alderwood should have been in the fcuking Jewson. Not pleased.
