Olly Murphy quote:
Indeevar Bleu unfortunately will miss Cheltenham due to a small setback. Hopefully he will be ok Aintree.

Have to feel for Sean Bowen. 10 years in the saddle and never had a Cheltenham Festival winner. Missed Haiti Couleurs last year as he had to ride Resplendent Grey for Olly Murphy. Will be a similar story in the NH Chase this year with Wade Out / Backmersackme. Thought Indeevar Bleu would give him another good shot.

Having a Cheltenham winner should be hard. Sean Bowen has a lot more talent than Daryl Jacob, who eventually fell in with Willie Mullins.
And at the other end, Paul Townends fuming he can’t get on the JP horses in Willies, or he’d be odds on to beat Rubys record.

Michael Kenneally, can't argue with that

Are Iroko, Jagwar and Johnnywho really going to the Ultima? Wouldn't surprise me if he put Kenneally or a similar claimer on one of them. No-one but Jonjo's ridden any of them this season.

I'm saying thank you for the race labelling alone - if the beast wins that's a bonus.

I also nearly put my Selma De Vary Boodles slips in the bin.
Way they’re talking she wont like the New Course and shes all speed, and a Champion Hurdle mare next year.
With Townend probably riding Macho Man in the Triumph, chance she could go here with Paul on. 139 and if shes a Champion Hurdle mare she should win.

Grand Annual - if the sun comes out and if the going has a G in it, my thoughts will be turning to Sans Bruit.

He'll be going for the Hat trick, in the Red Rum at Aintree.

I agree, but I'm not excluding this on the way.

Similar thoughts about Break My Soul. Think I'll be backing in the Grand Annual but would be very interested if she turns up at Aintree. Enjoyed herself in the Aintree Hurdle last year.

how in the name of god has he been dropped 11 pounds already this year, it’s so blatanly obvious

Noticed Midnight It Is is confirmed for the Plate but not the Grand Annual. Although I fancy Madara, I can't let him go unbacked at 66/1 after last year's Grand Annual run.
Robicheaux
Apprentice
Thanks for that. I'll probably wait till the Sunday decs though.
Euronymous
Senior Jockey
Ultima - I've got three in this because I took 33s about Hyland ages ago was sure he wouldn't run and so backed Handstands (a bit prematurely really) and Leave of Absence. I'm afraid of both the JP's and they'll be in multis
NHC - Wade Out.
MGM Cup - The Yellow Clay and Storm Heart
Jack Richards - Koktail Divin at a nice price, value NR now looks like. I'll probably back Jordan's Cross when that's confirmed. The JP looks a hype horse to me.
Kim Muir - In researching this I watched the WW race from the DRF again and honestly I thought Kim Rocque was way more eye catching
County - Murcia and Workahead
MP - Will follow Slim in.
As ever at Cheltenham though my most important bets will all be in the graded races.

I've got Walsworth deployed, personally checking all the water tables closest to Prestbury Park and taking stick readings (with a Going Stick obtained off the Dark Web) while masquerading as an Alpaca Minder out taking said beasts for a walk on both tracks.
Once The Hertfordshire Bunny Murderer's full report is in at 11.00am on Sunday morning, I'll be having a proper gander to see if anything wants the back doors smashing off it at the price.

I put a little dabble on Workahead too, just as a starter ... Then I was a bit surprised to see him still in the Champion Hurdle, which I suppose is why he has drifted on the exchange. The owner likes to have a go. So I'm glad it was only a dabble, but I'd be interested once I know for sure
