Was surprised Bet365 left No Comment who need 41 horses to come out to get a run in Ultima and will be ridden by the Champion Jockey carrying 10-4 at 20/1. I doubt I'll have a better bet all week.
 
I plan to have an extragavent double on the two Achill horses - Carefully Selected and the Bumper winner. They are short priced, but that doesn't matter as neither can be beaten.

Otherwise

Fiddleronthe roof
Cash Back
Cepage
Cilaos Emery

In some kind of ew perm.

I am on Mark Leishman at 70s in Floriday tonight and am sticking. If he wins my week is paid for anyway so all bets are free.
 
Supreme - I have a small e/way ante post on Asterion Forlonges 33/1 so will be watching and hoping.

Arkle - I have Cashback e/way ante post at the same price he is now 7/1 so will be watching again.

Ultima - Discorama 7/1 & Atlanta Ablaze 33/1(e/way/) BOG & r/f/c - Both ran big races in The National Hunt last year despite meeting all sorts of trouble.

Champion Hurdle - Petite Mouchoir 20/1 & Cornerstone Lad 28/1 BOG- small e/ways - they look the value at the prices.

Mares Hurdle - Just for watching for me

Novices H'cap Chase - Have Paint The Dream 20/1 e/way ante post - 33/1 available now :mad:
 
I love Abacadabras in the first tomorrow. Took the 7/1 with Boyles this evening. Not sure what they were thinking. He should be fav.
 
The more I study, the less I know:

1.30 - Elixir D’Ainy
2.05 - Cashback
3.30 - Cilaos Emery
5.30 - Lord du Mesnil

EW acca.

I’ll be lumping on my £4 wins and £3ews in between races, flitting between the pub and Corals. Magnificent!

I'm on Abacadabras and Sharjah ap.
Ground tempers confidence
I backed Shishkin last night because of his drift.
Lost on Champagne Classic and have Lord du Mesnil in a retrieval mission. Have to be against fav in that race
 
Have had to take the near 6/1 about Shishkin, and just hope he has a leg on each fu*cking corner this morning. I am concerned about the complete absence of market confidence.

Espoir De Guye the nap. Ha a massive chance, and surprised he’s not being backed.

have tried every which way to get Notebook beaten, but I can’t. Suspect he is probably a good thing.
 
Already have big prices about Abacadabras and Fakir D’oudairies and the lack of market confidence was a worry for the former but he’s the only one they want today which is telling. I’m sticking with those two

Activial, Big River and Discorama all 6/1 places against the field in the Ultima

Cilaos Emery e/w at 8/1 in the Champion Hurdle

Imperial Aura and Espoir Du Guye both e/w in the Novice handicap

Backed Springfield Fox e/w when he was double figures and Lord Du Mesnil at slightly bigger than he is now.


Not as confident about anything going into the first day though as normal and have a niggling worry that Grass’s signature will be the story of my day.
 
Chelters

1.30 Fiddlerontheroof

2.10 Esprit Du Large (Nap)

2.50 Vinndication (heavy ground might him to fend off some of the good-ground speed horses). He does have form on soft.

3.30 Darver Star (Pure guesswork)

Good luck today everyone

I suspect the ground may have gone against Cobra De Mai, which I backed yesterday, but apart from that I'm happy to let these ride.

Have Kildisart at 33s in the Ultima but fear the ground has gone against him
