One I'm really looking forward to today is the very upwardly mobile WISHFULL THINKING in the Coral Cup.

Right, early selections so far (so i may tweak them later)

1:40 mobaasher
2:05 Right of passage, Many Riverstocross e/w
2:40 Diamond Harry
3:20 Plan on plumping on Master minded depending on how the markets going
4:00 Deutschland


Also took the 9/2 on Big Bucks, Master Minded and Kueto star.
So you've ehared here folk, lay the big 3

Punchestowns is my NAP of the entire festival and is a cracking price today. If he gets a clear round he should go very close.

Double that up with Master Minded and you have a nice looking 6/1 double.

Not feeling too confident about today's picks TBH but here we go ...

1:30 - Becauseicouldntsee and Noakarad de Verzee.

2:05 - Peddlers Cross and Finian's Rainbow.

2:40 - Punchestowns and Diamond Harry.

3:20 - Master Minded, Forpadytheplasterer and Golden Silver.

4:00 - Wishfull Thinking and Shadow Dancer.

4:40 - Notus De La Tour and Bothy.

5:00 - Drumbaloo and Made In Time.

Good Luck All.

Here goes for day 2:

1.30 Mobasher; Tinakellylad;
2.00 Not decided yet, but probably Finians Rainbow
2.40 On Long Run and Weapons Amnesty
3.20 Just got MM linked in trebles, may also back Big Zeb e/w if up by then.
4.00 Quantivtiveeasing; Wishfull Thinking
4.40 Sanctuaire
5.20 Frawley

All the best people.

2.05 Rite of Passage
2.40 Weapons Amnesty (e/w)
3.20 Twist Magic (e/w)
4.00 On Raglan Road

Day 2 .. hoping for a better day!

2.05 PEDDLERS CROSS E/W
2.40 PUNCHESTOWNS (not much between this and long run but jockeys swayed it for me and the money has come for p)
3.20 MASTER MINDED (Got this in a 10/1 treble with big bucks and kauto... master minded has the hardest task in my opinion out of the three)
4.00 QUANTITATIVEEASING E/W
4.40 NOTUS DE LA TOUR (This is my second biggest bet of the festival behind kauto..really impressed when i saw it run last time, expect it to go close!!)
KUDU COUNTRY E/W (well regarded in stable)

Had a winner on the football last night to hopefully set me up for a positive day. 2 E/W punts in this one Fabalu and Noakarad De Verzee.

Good luck to all

Only 2 fancies today.

Punchestowns.

Kalahari King.

1.30 Cheltenham result

1st Poker De Sivola 14/1
2nd Becauseicouldntsee 32/1
3rd Prudent Honour 40/1

My first bet of the day was pulled up, good start!

Thought I had the winner there for a minute, but 2nd e/w will do for now.

Good ride from Ruby's sister.

Peddlers Cross 2.05 .

Aye - was always pretty confident with this one. When Nina Carberry rides at the Festival she's generally good for a place.

Would love McCain Jnr to get a iwnner in the Neptune with Peddlers Cross.

I like Finian's Rainbow e/w in the next.

2.05

I really fancy Choc Thorntons mount Manyriverstocross

A faller for me early in the 2nd

Well I did until Ruby decided to try and wipe him out at the 2nd

I'm beginning to think it's not my meeting!

You're going well so far.

good call.

2.05 result

1st Peddlers Cross 7/1
2nd Reve De Sivla 15/2
3rd Rite of Passage 7/2

Should of done the forecast! had Peddlers cross months ago after that impressive win
