Cheltenham Festival

Here is a few I have heard and seen

Here is few each ways

De Plotting Shed in the Close Brother Novice
Le Breuil in Pertemps HC Hurdle
Malaya in the Fred Winter HC Hurdle

Couple I fancy but reckon odds will be short

Footpad - in the Arkle
Santini - Albert Bartlett Novice
Waiting Patiently in the Ryanair Chase

Elgin worth a nibble in the Champion Hurdle

I'll lay any bet you want on Waiting Patiently! Isn't and never has been expected to race at Chelt.

Saint Calvados my NAP for tomorrow

With this weather I can't believe Bristol de Mai isn't running on Friday
 
So my shotgun approach to today’s racing is as follows....

1:30 Getabird
2:10 Saint Calvados
2:50 Vintage Clouds, Ramses De Teillee
3:30 Melon (w/o Buveur Dair)
4:10 Jers Girl (w/o Apple's Jade)
4:50 Ms Parfois
5:30 Testify, Le Rocher

Win only on those lot.

Then a heart over head bet as I am a member of the ERC, Elgin e/w in the Champion Hurdle
 
Here's my punts (NOT TIPS) for today,

please gamble responsibly, when the fun stops, STOP!!

1.30 - Kalashnikov @ 5/1
It gets the ground and repeat performance of his Betfair hurdle run then i see it winning here today. the Fav is too short for me.

I like First Flow too.

2.10 - Saint Calvados @ 3/1

It'll love the ground and i think itll give Footpad a good run for his money.


2.50 - Cassa Tete ew @ 28/1

I think this could be a bit of a a plot horse from the Moore yard looking at its past runs and i wont be surprised to see it sluice in.

i also like the Pipe horse Ramses De Teillee.

3.30 - Buveur D’Air @ 4/6

Classy horse and nothing beats it.

4.10 - Apples Jade @ 8/13

As above another classy Mare.

4.50 - Rathvinden @ 7/1

This will love the ground and i've no doubt barring mis-haps it wins.

5.30 - Any Secomd Now @ 6/1

It's got form against better horse's and its dropping down to handicap company. It'll relish the ground too.

Good luck and happy punting.

Not the greatest of days today but we go again tomorra.

I was mightily impressed with Footpad, and Rathvinden was given a peach of ride from Paddy Mullins.
 
My punts for today.

1.30 - Samcro @ 4/6 . ill also have a little bit on Vision Des Flos (e/w) @ 20/1
2.10 - Black Corton @9/1 He'll love this ground and has already set the standard. won here LTO a great value bet for me

2.50 - As You Were (e/w) @ 22/1 i was gonna swerve this race as it looks very competitive but ive had a little bit on this.
3.30 - Altior @ 6/5
BEAST!!!!!! Unbeaten over both hurdles and fences. Time to punt like a proper man!!
4.10 - The Last Samuri @ 13/2 (NAP)
Grand National runner up, he gets the trip and i think he should be fav
4.50 - Act of Valour @8/1
This is a blind punt, Nicholls has a great record im this. i like Lisp ew @14/1
5.30 - Rhinestone @ 9/1
i cant see how the fav is nearly half the price of this. it was 2nd LTO but wax only beaten 1L. i think it'll improve on that run and im happy to take the mullins fav on.

Good luck.
 
Aftertiming but I had the winners in the last two yesterday, 40/1. Nice pick me up after Apple's Jade ruined my trebles and doubles.

Samcro and Altior in a double and Cause of Causes in a treble.

Be lucky guys.

2 winners and a place, Was so glad to see Altior flying up the hill after being off the bridle coming down the hill 2 out.

Onto tomorrow.....
 
had chunks on Min, tried to lay 1.21 IR got to 1.25 :( Our views were slightly different lol. WD :)

I couldn’t have backed anything else in that field with anyone’s money.

Altior never ran well and still obliterated that field. Pure animal.

if i thought it would be at its best i agree, after the wind op and also the recent foot problem i just felt the value was the other way, shame i got greedy trying to lay ir

As much as I don’t trust Henderson, if Altior wasn’t fit there’s no way he’d have risked him.

I was impressed with Presenting Percy, I backed him LTO in Ireland when he got turned over so I didn’t fancy him today but I got that wrong. I thought Russell gave him a cracking ride though.
 
We go again, I'm playing at West Lancs this aftenoonso i wont see any of it today.

My punts for today.

1.30 - Terrefort @4/1
2.10 - Thomas Campbell @ 25/1 ew
2.50 - Balko Des Flos @12/1
3.30 - Sam Spinner @7/2 NAP
4.10 - Tully East @12/1
4.50 - Laurina @ 4/6
5.30 - Mal Dini @ 6/1

Good luvck

Can’t see past might bite today. Thought he was the favourite by a long way for this race around Christmas time and now the race has got a lot weaker with the withdrawals I really struggle to see anything beating him. He seems to have sorted out his misbehaving near the finish and has a real steel in him when a horse goes by him.

Would be nice to see edwulf finish in 2nd today and would round off some come back after being on his deathbed this time last year.
 
Fina day punting.

1.30 - Saldier @ 12/1 ew
2.10 - Flying Tiger ew @ 12/1 & Sternrubin @ 40/1 ew
2.50 - Santini @ 9/2 & Dortmund Park @16/1 ew
3.30 - Definitly Red @ 12/1 & Total Recall @ 16/1
4.10 - Young Hurricane @ 33/1 ew
4.50 - Diese Des Bieffes @ 8/1
5.30 - Bouveril @ 12/1

Good luck Gents
