Cheltenham - Wednesday - What are you backing?

Could be miles out here, but I raeckon Defi DS was in trouble early doors. Landed steeply to the right at the 3rd, and had to screw his rear end round to clear the 4th.
Never looked happy afterwards, imo.

I'm wondering if The Glancing Queen could be the bet of the day at around 16/1.

I vaguely recall King saying she was unlucky last year and he's managed to keep her bumper status for this year. Last year's race was phenomenal and, in theory, she could be 10lbs better with age. How far would we expect Envoi Allen or Abacadabras to win this year's race and what price would we expect them to be?

Very disappointed with the way she finished. Got messed about at the false start and lost the prominent possie she held first time. Ended up behind and wide, then made ground a bit quick from the top of the hill.

Having seen the race I now think this was just a sighter for Aintree but we'll see what happens.
 
After Abacadabras yesterday and Minella Indo today - two of my main bets for the meeting-best prices 14/1 and 10/1- Storyteller and Thyme Hill fans should be concerned. Me, I just feel ill!
 
Defi looked quiet in the paddock and just dull. As did Hobbs other horses (Sporting John reportedly finished distressed) so I’m wondering if something isn’t quite right with the yard.

Might Bite most definitely had a quiet run round. He came back up the shute looking far fresher than anything else that ran in the race (horses came back with mud way over their fetlocks afterwards).

Hendersons horses look in fantastic shape especially the Coral Cup winner.
 
Also thought the runs of Sporting John and Defi suggested something up with Hobbs runners.

Zoffee also weakened quickly in the Fred Winter

This has put me off the David Maxwell horse and Deise Aba today

Well both those mentioned above ran OK without threatening to win
