Nation Hunt 2011-2012 Preview Evening - Cheltenham 12.10.11

ps/ Its a fiver free if yr a member of the three counties race club.

interesting evening ill post feedback if anyone interested.

Yeah - go on....whet the appetitie if nothing else

post away but dont put us away [;)]

Mark Howard on panel as well as Bet Fred rep plus Racing Post and Alan Lee of The Times:

* Peddlers Cross could be good enough to win Champion Chase.
* Hurricane Fly stays fit to win only danger Oscars Well (Mark Howard fancy)
* Zarkander laughably price only that as PN trains it
* First Liuetenant is going to run 4 times before Christmas.
* Dildar watch out for him big time (Alan Lee tip)
* Time for Rupert could be best in Hennessey.
* Wishful Thinking could be aimed at Champion Chase - weak division.
* With above in mind Captain Chris is the better horse according to Hobbs yard.
* Tingle Creek could be a shocker as Irish won't come over. Finnians Rainbow likely to be fav.
* Ferdy Murphy got new backers some sydicate heavily involved - he is looking for early winners.
* Cue Card probably end up in 2.5 miler not Arkle.
* Peddlers v Al Ferof more likely not to happen than happen.
* Weapens Amenesty wont be winning Gold Cup main Irish fancy is QD La Rock.
* Tip of the night was Mon Parrin to win Champion Chase at 50s huge price.

Generally a good evening although beer at £4 a pint dissapointing.

fecking dissapointing response to my thread

Good efort Howdi,i enjoyed reading it.Carry on when you hear more please

enjoyed the read howdi , anything like this will always be good to read , love NH racing , and chelters is like xmas , going to the **** meeting and tues / wed of the fest , gl

Thanks Howdi, any more background/reasoning as to why they think Time For Rupert will be suited by the Hennesey?

Great stuff Howdi!
Just coming out of hibernation for the jumps!

I respect Alan Lee: Can anyone enlighten me about Didar?

Thanks Howdi. Dont think the forum has really picked up yet.

Been thinking about doing a season preview up here for a while now, what was the turn out and how was the night recieved?

Thanks for the info howdi. Was there anymore reasoning behind the QDLR/weapons amnesty gold cup tip

Good stuff Howdi - enjoy the racing today.

saxon farm - Dildar is one of the juveniles with Nicholls. Ex aga khan flat horse being aimed at Triumph...as usual at this time of year it is being hyped as a wonder horse. Anyone remember Brampour this time last year? Can look a million dollars on the gallops but got to do it where it counts.

ps...but I also respect Alan Lee and he will know far more than me as to its prospects!!

Many thanks, Minger.  GL

Cheers Howdi, I thought Oscars Well might be going over fences rather than staying over hurdles.

I feel better now

They also said Willie Twiston is different gear from his older brother.

Time For Rupert is heading to the Charlie Hall according to trainers website.

Mon Perrain is ovverated a tad imo. Beaten phuck all.

£4 per pint, you sure you weren't at Centre Parcs

Oscars Well is staying hurdling, thats a fact.
