What are you backing Today? - Cheltenham Wednesday

65/1 shot Theilval runs one again in NJH dad's race...sure to be tuned up to run a decent race and Nico on board you can have a sporting bet at 7/2-4. him being in he 1st 6 home

Daryl Jacob rides Monte Christo who looks to be improving and likely Nickys best chance of winning the handicap...

Bob Olinger most important bet of the week for me. Been backing it since Ferny Hollow was ruled out for the season. BMG and GDM in a few multis as cover

Guard your Dreams in the Coral Cup

The market behind CPS has been off all season. I couldn't have Altior and I can't have Nube Negra, Politologue or First Flow. Backed PTKO and Notebook in the w/o fav markets each way and got 33s very early doors about Cilaos Emery in the Autumn

I don't normally get involved in the bumper but I did step in when Sir Gerhard drifted to 10/3 after the DRF.

The soft ground microscope has seen to his demise...
 
Le Breuil for the Cross Country each way, JP’s 2 possibly three in the Coral Cup. Hoping Bob Olinger wins as well for a small treble I’ve done if Shiskin and Epatante win today.
 
A few each ways for me tomorrow.

1.20 Bear Ghylls
1.55 Sporting John
2.30 Botox Has
3.05 First Flow
3.40 Out Sam

Enjoying it so far.
 
Have a fair bet on Bob Olinger at 7/2, been very well backed so fingers crossed.
Have Monkfish to finish off a double with Shishkin, not at fancy prices though as only did it last week but over 6/4 on a 4/9 shot
Sir Gerhard in the Bumper
 
The four I picked ante-post for the Coral Cup have all shortened-up (couple of them halved in price), and I’m hopeful that the time I committed to the race, gets at least some reward.

I also hope that Bridget Andrews proves that I’m the sexist dinosaur I probably am, and wins on Amoola Gold. Stakes-wise, this is my number-one horse all week, and the take-out is very-much worth having.

The Monk is the bridge leg of the novice chaser treble. I will be incredibly disappointed if he can’t win the RSA.

Chacun is in a Monk/Envoi +3L winning-distance bet at 10/1. He is a Grade 1 horse in against G2 animals, imo, and 4/5 is a tremendous price.

I’ve a smallish bet on Olinger to kick things off.

Sir G, hammer, long nail etc.

Will oppose Easysland in the XC. Ground against him, I think.

If First Flow places I might give up betting.

I think he's the best each way value in the race now.

I took 18s for my £1 each way lucky 31.

Theres obviously a ton of cash for the favourite, who is still shortening into 4/11 now.

I don't think this necessarily means the opposition, including First Flow are really poor horses though.

I think First Flow can make the first three.

I doubt the track will suit him

First Flow's improved nearly 20lbs on official ratings this season.

He's only been round here once in a novice hurdle where he was pulled up, apart from that he's mainly gone right handed.

I'll guess we'll find out if he's a right handed only horse tomorrow.

There'll always be a question mark about a horse of his price in a race like this.

That's what top horses often have to do - prove they can do something they're suspected of not being able to do or haven't been given a chance to prove they can do yet.

If you want everything proven on paper and 99.9 percent bombproof beforehand then just be prepared to back 4/11 shots all week.

Look at Defi last year. Look at Concertista today.

One or two will always fluff their lines.

I think First Flow will be alright.

I had to pick something each way for tomorrow so went for him.
