It isn't Cheltenham but the meeting is two weeks away so needs a thread.
Tues:
I'm nicely involved in Rhododendron at 12s for this (thought they'd use the Lockinge as a pipe opener when I placed the bet, didn't see her going Ganay first) and will likely cover with Recoletos if he goes here. It's not a strong race.
King's Stand looks between the front two, would favour the filly at this track.
SJP picture is murky at best and I wonder if Saxon Warrior will be pitched in on a retrieval mission. I hope not as the front of the market looks weak and Wootton is a big price at 16s. Had a horrible trip in the Poulains and is forgiven that run.
Wed:
Wouldn't oppose Cracksman in the POW but there should be some each way juice somewhere, not that I can see it yet.
I like Aljazzi in the Duke of Cambridge. She ran really well first time out where the front two got first run on her. Can't see her out of the frame.
Thur:
Konchek is worth a bet at 7s in the Norfolk. Ran a very good race from a bad draw in the National Stakes. Top trainer.
Fri:
I have the Commonwealth easily between Sioux Nation and Invincible Army. Backed both and also have them in multiples and doubles.
Sat:
Crystal Ocean looks rock solid at 9/4 for the Hardwice. Another who will be an anchor in doubles.
Dreamfield looked a group horse when winning at the track in May and 8/1 is fair. Form was boosted on Saturday.
I think there's a chance Harry Angel will be backable for the Jubilee if AOB has a good meeting and the hype machine goes into overdrive with Merchant Navy. The Tin Man is overpriced at 12s.
At this stage:
Nap - Sioux Nation
EW - Wootton
Lay - Without Parole
