Festival Trials Day Cheltenham Sat June 30

Particularly with both those firms paying 3 places. Shame on most of the others only paying 2 with 11 in at this stage (suspect we'll end up with 6 or 7 though)

8 declared. Even more shame on the tight b*stards

Thanks chaps. Tricky one for Noel, but guess he would have had limited say. Could be a similar situation for Shantou at the festival if Fry or his retained owners have a runner. Pretty certain Ruby wouldn’t be able to ride him there!
 
There's got to be some e/w value in the Betbright Chase. Can't imagine connections of Many Clouds will want his mark to go any higher with a view to defending his GN title and some of the others look well out of their depth. As such it's hard to see Smad Place out of the first three.
 
Fist recommended bets for the day :blink:

There's been over 30k been traded on Thistlecrack as low as 1.7 and still 12 hours to go.

Biggest certainty of the day is either Clan De Obeax or Who Dares Wins will win the first...Nickys both will need the run.

Punters never think outside the box they just head down and in they go.

Dutching double those 2 with Thistlecrack and Camping Ground is much safer and slighty more rewarding.

Bet Placed.

Chelt 1.15 don't bet go have a coffee

Cheltenham 1.50 Small EW bet on Many Clouds and go put sugar in your coffee

Cheltenham 2.25 Champagne West looks worth a serious bet.

Cheltenham 3.00 Should be in front by now put half your winning on the banker of the day Yanworth. Best horse Alan King has had in a very long time.

Cheltenham 3.35 Sit back and relax and count your winnings when BF SP's are returned you are in an unbeatable position.

Cheltenham 4.10. Get the fook outta there and go get drunk you've earned it.
 
I live just south of Bristol, so not too far away, and it's been hammering it down all night. Given Claisse is currently describing the going as "heavy, waterlogged in places" I'd bet against it going ahead.
 
Just about to leave. Bu&&er it.

What's the form when you have an a hotel room booked, they have credit card details? Guessing lose full cost of room if don't turn up.

Have to say I was surprised to hear about it this morning , wind has dropped which is not helpful. Not been up the course this week so don't really know how bad it is Grassy. Still not raining though.
 
Claisse on local radio saying a couple of showers, and there are a few forecast, would "really set us back"
 
We've just set off from Poole so everything crossed. Hotel cost lost if meeting off so will just have to make it all back at Donny

If you are coming racing Saturday, Racecourse warning quite a bit of rain expected this week and car parks will be wet and muddy, they suggest using public transport if you can.

If you can avoid them I would !


One or two messages from the racecourse sound a bit more optimistic
