I suppose maguire at 20's is fair with possibles in overturn, peddlers, up and go, cinders and ashes, if you're inclined to bet on this type of market, which i'm not.

where did u get the odds for this catch me....i think geraghty should be nearer to evens

Ruby only has one penalty kick this year with Bucksy being out, whereas Barry Geraghty has two

6/4 a good price imo

where can i get on ?

Off the top of my head:

RUBY

Dodging Bullets
Quevega
Hurricane Fly
Champagne Fever
Boston Bob
Sanctuaire
Tidal Bay
Far West
Ponte Alexandra
Conti

Geraghty

River Maigue
Simonsig
Grandouet
Puffin Billy
Sprinter
Captain Conan
Finians / Riverside
Oscar Whisky (possibly)
Bobs Worth

Out of those two, I'd just pick BJG, but I think it'll be very close; but there are probably a few obvious ones I've missed off.

Wouldn't be a bet that'd interest me at 6/4 though.

you could say both have a banker
SS & Quevega.

Sam,

Open your eyes man ffs

http://www.oddschecker.com/horse-racing-betting/racing-specials/long-term

Backed Geraghty for this

deepest apologies ccm if i disturbed u but i did go into oddschecker and could not find this market.....thank you for this info

Do think Ruby rides Cheltenham better than anyone else, between him and BG and may even come down to who wins the Gold Cup. Davy Russel would be value in an each way market/as a trading option

Would always pick Ruby for this with the pick of two top stables. Not convinced NH will have all these winners tbh.

Ruby
Possible Novice Hurdlers
Dodging Bullets, Pique Sous, Pont Alexandre, Champagne Fever, Ballycasey, Twigline
Possible Novice Chasers
Arvika Ligeonniere, Fago, Boston Bob, Rocky Creek.
Older Hurdlers
Hurricane Fly, Zarkander, Tidal Bay, Zaidpour, Quevega.
Older Chasers
Sanctuaire, Tidal Bay, Silviniaco Conti.

Barry
Possible Novice Hurdlers
River Mague, My Tent Or Yours/ Jezki.
Possible Novice Chasers
Simonsig, Captain Conan, Hadrians Approach.
Older Hurdlers
Grandouet, Oscar Whiskey, Une Artiste.
Older Chasers
Sprinter Sacre, Bobs Worth, Finians Rainbow, Riverside Theatre.

Then the handicaps...

I'd favour Ruby.

I would fancy BJG, just, but if Henderson's horses lose their form, for any reason, he will be Donald Ducked whereas Ruby has 2 top stables. Tight

Sam,
no worries man, only joking (notice the love smily)

Bluebird,
Hope it comes down to the Cup as I know Barry is very sweet on Bobs

AP @ 4/1 I like ......looks like his strongest book of rides for years and he will be so looking forward to Cheltenham Festival hope he has a cracking meeting ....

Davy Russell could look huge if all these irish novices are any good. Got a powerful team behind him.

Barry Geraghty 5/4
Ruby Walsh 6/4
Tony McCoy 8
Davy Russell 16
Jason Maguire 25
Richard Johnson 33

really feel mccoy is worth a small play in this market at 8-1 with stan james...has a very book of rides for me and is an overlay

Apparently Hendo suggested that Ruby was the best bet for top jockey at the Glasgow Hilton. Maybe he takes the view that he has the best of the rides from 2 top yards whereas BJG only has one......or maybe he was just winding Barry up, who was also present!

Hard to look past the top 2 in the betting but Tom Scudamore must be an outside chance. If Dynaste delivers, he will also have a few handicap fancies.

NICO surely this year, now that WPM is giving him a few opportunities.

Geraghty is not my favourite jockey but JP will have a fancied runner in at least 10 races so he will have a big chance. Who will ride Thyme Hill and any other Hobbs chances apart from Defi? Can't see Dickie being fit.

I remember the year Jonjo won it with just one winner
