New Posts For Thread: Handicaps?https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26647709/handicapsAnyone got any cunning fancies for any of the handicaps at the Festival.Think Oh Crick might be of interest in the Grand Annual again.do you think that he may benefit from a step up in trip? Seems to stay on in his races these days and gets outpaced mid race (although this may just be the class of race he's been running in). Festival Plate perhaps?https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26647709/handicaps?post_id=481870857#481870857do you think that he may benefit from a step up in trip?

He has been stuffed out of sight by the handicapper and I guess King had no option but to run him in level weight contests, for which he just doesn't hahttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26647709/handicaps?post_id=481870541#481870541Agree re lower weights / less exposed horses but I just think this one is coming to the boil now.

If he runs a decent race he will go in my book for Aintree.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26647709/handicaps?post_id=481863101#481863101Im pretty sure he will run at Chelts just think that race will be to competative.

I agree re Aintree but he obviously has C&D form at the festival and I think connections will be swayed by 'The Cheltenham Factor'https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26647709/handicaps?post_id=481860389#481860389Yeah - price is everything though.Think he showed enough at Sandown last time and he should be better on better ground.
