Festival Trials Day. OFFICIAL THREAD

Howdy Pilgrim... (great name) I follow the hurdlers myself and will be watching Granduet & Maio Chin Tire in the first... have a great day and come back with lots of money...

and have a good scran up in the appletree b4 heading home

Got to agree. 6/4 seems far too short for a novice against experienced horses. Is Nicholls running all his three? The Tother One surely must have a better chance than his odds suggest.

Looking forward to seeing 2 Alan King horses on Saturday - Smad Place and Bensalem. Also Noland will hopefully keep the Ryanair dream alive!

grandouet wont be running i dont think jsilkycut... they ran him at ascot to fit in with running in the adonis? (i may be wrong) think the 2 nicholls horses r ones to watch in that juvenile. cant wait to see bensalem back on course, also think restless harry will be interesting back over preferred trip

First Saturday for a while that I wouldn't mind if football was cancelled so I could have chance to watch what looks a cracking card
Smad Place,Tidal Bay and Rock on Ruby are interesting
Wishfull Thinking will be the bet of the weekend wherever he turns up

not sure about 'the bet of the weekend' but he is one that I am interested in.

Time For Rupert is a class act, and if Punchestowns doesn't line up (not sure what the latest is) he's ever right to be a short priced favourite! Clearly still improving and not much to find on OR; im expecting him to lead and procession...and then be declared for the RSA Chase, and then his price be crashed to odds on! Seriously don't think people appreciate how good this horse is!!

Pilgrim - have a look at him in the paddock on Saturday...he's an absolute beast, and that frame holds a huge engine and a massive heart!

I'm really hoping Local Hero can dent a few lofty reputations in the Triumph Hurdle trial.  I think this horse has a big future and I like small stables having good horses

grand cruz got to be the best bet of the day without karabak in the cleeve.

and while you check out tfr give tidal the once over,very compact animal but does also have some engine and if he fancies it he'll give tfr a race recieving weight again.....

can also expect smad place to be better suited to cheltenham than chepstow.

wishfull thinking....really wanted him to go arkle route but will follow hime wherever he goes now...beast imo.

enjoy the day pilgrim,cheltenham is the place to watch nh racing and dont forget to give arkle a rub for luck.
