Cheltenham Festival

OK - with many horses putting their best forward in recent weeks the main Cheltenham markets are now looking fairly sorted and most of the value has now gone on the leading contenders.
But what horses have you thrown a few quid away on at massive prices (minimum 100) in the hope they might spring a shock or bounce back to form.
After watching the Fairyhouse card on Wednesday I have thrown a fiver away on Trafford Lad for the Ryanair at 490. A formerly high class novice hurdler and chaser who looked like he could right to the top before injury struck just before last years Hennessey
.
He's had two runs back this season and I felt he jumped and travelled well for a long way until tiring between the last two fences on Wednesday in the race won by Tranquil Sea so maybe, just maybe, he can comeback to his best. The Ryanair trip looks perfect for him based on his novice chasing exploits so here's hoping

Yes I can see him going down that route, currently rated 135 over fences which probably underestimates when they eventually decide to ride him the right way and use exaggerated waiting tactics. |

Punchestowns at 66/1 for World Hurdle, if not getting run in chase shortly may run out of options and maybe switch back to hurdles? Only danger to Big Bucks maybe?

I've had a punt on this one for the Supreme, but backed it also today for the Neptune Novices Hurdle, at 210/1, just in case it ends up in this race. Seemed a ridiculous price to me. |
