In other words back Hurricane Fly at 4/1 and join in the madness.

Been before, 4 or 5 times but normally gold cup day. Will PM you.....

There will be plenty of madness - if it comes down to the last race then Blazing Tempo

Lastoftheleaders

Im tempted but Ive always been a Peddlers Cross fan as I was told it was nice in its bumper days and have followed it throughout its career. May save on The Fly, although reading the bookies review on Sporting Life this morning, most say they are happy to lay it as it just beats Solwhit in small fields all the time !

Oh well in that case push it out to 5s then you tight gits

Backed Wishfull Thinking @ 4/1 for the Jewson with news that Captain Chris is going the Arkle.

With the mare going for the Jewson then yes Lastoftheleaders

Shocking reading about it this morning it didn't even need the meds it was just spots on his neck which didn't look nice! unreal.

Cue Card now into 7/4 and 15/8 with some



Heres my Day 1 selections:

Supreme novices:

Cue card 10-1 E/W 5-2 and 3-1 plus Zaidpour 33-1 E/W

Spinal Research Handicap Chase:

Caroles Legacy 16/1 E/W

Tharawaat @ 18/1 (ew)

Cheers... there goes the price plunge now CP has backed it. Marking the bookies cards for them !!

Really? Haven't seen that report, if that's true then I can see why there's blame being pointed towards Henderson. That's poor.



CC is going the Arkle

bugger. Why the fook did Hobbs give impression Wishfull Thinking and Captain Chris were off trthe Jewson. fook sake.

I'm doing my best to stick to only backing horses I really fancy. Eg, not backing a horse in every race just beacuse it's Cheltenham. I'm sure that will all change tomorrow morning though!

Very boring but I'm doing a patent on Cue Card, Quevega and Hurricane Fly. Singles on all 3 as well to varying degrees. I think me, Wire85 and CP will all be in the same boat come Tuesday evening by the looks of it!

Good oh, appreciate it.

As far as I can remember Hobbs had always said it was ground dependant for Captain Chris, with the Jewson if it was going to be fast ground. He has his preferred ground tomorrow and I reckon he will be a real danger. Wouldn't be surprised to see him beat at least a couple of the three market leaders.

Spirit Son must be very special as it is well known how highly Geraghty rates Sprinter Sacre. Cue Card is a worthy market leader but you never know how much possible improvement something has like Spirit Son. Not a race I ever get too heavily involved with.

I would love to see HF win the CH, and will wait until reading tomorrows RP before I decide who I fancy backing. Peddlers Cross ticks a lot of the right boxes and will certainly be storming up the hill. IF, and its a big IF, HF does prove good enough (he hasn't ran in a race as good as this, and a lot of his gd1 wins are on soft ground) then his finishing speed could see the race over and done with in a couple of shakes.

Quevega is banker material, and will be one of my main bets of the day.

Racing post this morning mate quotes from Henderson.

I take back those defensive comments I made about Henderson last night then mate





That's fair enough if that's the case mate, I can't say I've seen any quotes saying his run was ground dependant just that it was likely he'd be going for that rathe than Arkle. I still fancy him to go well, one that I've always liked and I've been looking forward to his Cheltenham run.

HF is favourite in places now for the CH, Ladbrokes have him 3s with Menorah 10/3. Both 9/2 with Skybet.

done my bets for TUESDAY

spirit son 11/2
al ferof 10/1

medermit 3/1
dan breen 16/1

bensalem 5/1
caroles legacy 16/1

peddlers cross 6/1 and again at 4's
kyber kim 12/1

premier sagas 16/1

id say medermit and peddlers cross my two bankers for tuesday. im going down for tues and weds too

Rumour that Bobs Worth is going Albert Bartlett am on 10s NRBN but would rather Henderson stays away

2.05 Medermit 11/4 win
west with the wind 40/1 e-w
3.20 Mille chief 14/1 e-w
5.15 Tullamore Dew 10/1 e-w
Deffinity 10/1 e-w

Good luck to all,wish i was going down

Cue Card 3/1 !!!!!!

Get on it.

I can't bring myself to back Cue Card after I left him at 20/1 after last season's bumper.

Should of taken the 10s when we was talking about him on the betting thread last year



ATR claimed 3s were around but their not
