Top 10 Place Lays For CHELTENHAM

I'd say you'll be so much out of pocket after the first 2 races you won't be able to afford to lay the rest

As for most of the rest I'd be more likely to bet them for a place than lay them.

1. Cue Card
2. Sprinter Sacre
3. Menorah
4. Mille Chief
5. A Media Luz
6. Denamn
7. Somersby nb
8. LAmi
9. Hell's Bay
10.Sunnyhill Boy (Nap)

Big Bucks

no way menorah or masterminded will be out of  the 3?..and sunnyhill boy is well fancied for 3rd race first day...otherwise good picks.
mine are:
denman
hurricane fly
kauto star
quel esprit
big zeb
somersby
miguel de haganuet
binocular
spirit sun
lami

Only 3 for me:

Peddler's Cross
Long Run
Captain Chris's chosen option

You got to be mad to lay Denman in the place, shirley ?

He preparation going into this race last year was a nightmare but he still finished 2nd. This time round he goes there fresh and fit like he was for the Hennessy. Cant see him out of the frame tbh.

Kauto Star would be my place Lay.

1. Kauto Star
2. Finians on at 33/1.
3. Somersby
4. MDH
5. Quel Espirt

Riverside Theatre
Peddlers cross
Medermit
Long Run
Cue Card
Denman....

Some very BRAVE souls who place lay Denman imo.He ran a neck and neck with IC last yr until the last fence and still technically cannot be said too be in decline.I doubt he'l win but place laying him could severely damage your underwear.

good selections steak & chips , but think you could come unstuck with Denman.

Can't disagree with any of yours Stake, apart from maybe MM.

Realt Dubh - slow boat (& Sintonian made me smile about his 33/1 on FR)
Menorah - too long a lay off
Long Run NB - course form / jumping / stamina
Time for Rupert NAP - lack of experience


I noted that a few are gunning for Somersby but I can see him being completely outpaced on the top bend and then running on to sneak a bad 3rd on the line.

Binocular place layers should be awarded victoria crosses!

The only LAY I did was a few years ago when Black Jack Ketchum fell in the World Hurdle, I lay on the floor crying because I lost all my money on one race.

Binocular
Bensalem (if he runs in the 3 miler)
MDH

your need a right pair of coconuts to place lay Bino, imo.

I may be lacking in lots of things,Sint. Bottle has never been one of them.

Bensalem - Festival Handicap
Long Run - Gold Cup
Peddlers Cross - Champion Hurdle

Woolcombe Folly (nap)

Kauto Star (nap)

long run
woolcombe folly
mad max
mille chief
ericht
mikael d'haguenet
a media luz
golden silver
back in focus
zaidpour
sizing europe

[smiley:crazy] and just realised thats 11

Evidently, FB.

May I add that Quel Esprit is no longer a place lay given he is in the right race now,imo.

p.s im not actually laying these, just what I would do if I were layer, not a backer.
