DAY 3 Handicaps

6 of the last 10 Kim Muirs have been won by 9 year olds.* year olds and 10 year olds are next best and the place stats are similar so the stat looks good. Hope this helps.

cheers pmt, actually got the stats book in front of me, finding it really hard to rule horses out with strong convictions,

I like a few runners in each mostly at good prices, can't be arsed with giving write ups but have a look at the form and IMO they all have live chances:-

2.40 Pertemps

Pause and Clause 42 ish on here
Viking Blood 55 on here
Buena Vista at around 20/1

4.00 Plate

Quartz De Thaix 7/1 ish
Edgbriar 16/1 ish

4.40 Kim Muir

Galant Nuit 7/1 ish
Billie Magern 20/1 ish
Fredo 20/1 ish

aye, nice one cruise, gl with those. I can see them all running well apart from maybe Billie, stable in rank form.

Think I might be sitting the hcps out, still cant find anything with confidence.

Anyone got extensive stats on them?

Pertemps
dismiss 5 yo and 10yo and over
oppose front runners
throw out horses out of h,cap proper
overlook home based runners with 4 or more runs this season

respect irish trained esp ones via leopardstown qualifier
consider j j oneils
look twice at jp mc manus runners

FULKE WALWYN KIM MUIR
dismiss horses 135 plus
look to horses 8 to 10
give preference to home team
respect horses back from abscence or very lighty raced
respect, ferdy, charlie mann and henderson
nicholls has moderate record

what did the byrne used to be ?

Byrne
reject 142 plus
oppose ten and over
take on the paddys
dismiss **** and paddy power gc runners
fav has a shocking record
respect french breds
look twice at previous cheltenham winners
pref to horses that have run 1,2,3,4 at prev festivals
henderson, venetia and h daly have good record
nicholls has struggled here
strongly fancied novices have poor record

***** = boils

Thx. I guess the favorite looking pretty solid then in the Pertemps.

In my Blog straight after being at Taunton in Feb I posted 'Put it this way Conor is still going to pick up something at Cheltenham' and I didn't have to wait long

Mind you I also said Wishfull Thinking for the Golden Miller and Rock On Ruby for the Neptune. My evaluation of Triumph is the Adonis winner as the strongest trial. Nothing else was highlighted for the meeting so two runners up and a 20/1 winner and placed outsider from two rides for C O'F has given me not a bad chelt. I had Backspin for the supreme but of course he pegged it back at home.
