GUITAR PETE ON AT 40S EW CERT LOOKS GREAT NOW AFTER SUNDAY
Think Felix Yonger in the JLT if it's good to soft or better ground. He jumps like a cat out of good ground.
Think Faugheen & Briar Hill will be hard to beat too as there is no opposition tbh.

quevega, mullins top trainer and walsh top jock easy really m8 better thank keeping the money in the bank 
I dont normally like the race at all but I think Big Shu
at around 5/1 is a cracking bet.
at around 5/1 is a cracking bet.
Is Big Shu even going to Cheltenham? I think not
Pity if he dont turn up this year .Some easy victor last season and had a really encouraging first run last time in Punchestown.
Probably Felix Yonger JLT, although he has been messed about a bit this season

kings palace is deff a good thing Seary with u on that 1 will take the world of beating!
CV Byrne Is there any race at the festival Mullins ain't gonna win or is he gonna em all?
I'm on Faugheen at 11.5 and The Tank at 11s and 14s but when The Tullow Tank looms up we have a Grade 3 winner who's never had to battle and not ran since December v double Grade One winner who knows how to fight.
Think its Hurricane Fly to be honest but each to their own.....
Cue Card to be placed in the Gold Cup, there are simply not 3 horses horses good enough to beat him. I reckon he will be first or second
if you can get near 2/1 for a place that is a fantastic price, will trade shorter than that to win in running let alone in the place market

Cue Card should run in Ryanair as would hose up in that. On soft ground in a Gold Cup I cannot see him in the top 3 whatsoever. Silviniaco Conti just breezed past him at 2m7 mark at Kempton
Welcome back Judo. Look forward to your analysis during the festival. Another Salubrious maybe
if it stops raining and if the ground quickens up a bit . our conor .
So its a soft ground Gold Cup is it? Thanks Bally!!
I could go through all your hundreds of bets and rip holes in them but I don't
I have posted my banker bet on the banker bet thread, I don't need you coming along and telling me where I went wrong before the race is run thanks
I had all that bollox last year, people getting on my case before the races were run
I only made 117% profit on 82 points staked at the Festival
I am telling everyone Cue Card is a knocking bet for a place in the Gold Cup
you can tell me where I went wrong afterwards
this is why I don't post on here anymore. How many times have you seen me rip someones bets?
never mind, leave you to it

Not sure if he is banker material, but I really like Wonderful Charm in the JLT. Apart from Quevega, I don't really see any bankers this year.
With Big Bucks being beatable, Sprinter having well publisied issues, 4 really good ones in the Gold Cup mix, hottest Champion Hurdle for years, a wide open Arkle, no hot pot or previous bumper winner for the Supreme etc etc - basically its as wide open a festival that I can remember for many years!!

If Cue Card goes 2/1 or under in the Gold Cup ill press the pink button that hard it will shatter. That's my banker.
quevega won't win for ever as age will catch her in the end.
Yeah true mate, but she's much more likely to get beat at Punchestown afterwards than at Cheltenham imo
Not a lot there to beat her at Cheltenham really?
The New One = banker
Hurricane Fly place = lay banker

maybe not ballydoyle but remember when Moscow flyer 'went' he went in six months flat wasn't same hoss and went on one year to many.
Discounting the infamous 'wrong course' race in 2011, Balthazar King's record on the Cross Country course is 11211.
The caveat is the '2' came when there was 'soft' in the ground description.
So, him - he'll be taken out if the ground is unsuitable anyway.
I really wanted to put Quevega but it's not very original!

Yeah howdi but I just don't see anythin in the opposition next month. Race is IMHO...a load of shyte
i agree to be fair pal she has never raced anything any good has she although something normally takes her on at punchestown alsthough solwhit was taken out last year, sad that would have been a great match up

Good horse who has a proper race at Punch. When mares comes around half the crowd are in the bars gettin pissed
^^^ much the same as happens in the boozer on Saturday night 
would loved to have see Q run against the Bucks in the past. Do they like the easy prize money fair enough if they do but cant think of anything worse than retiring her and wondering what if
Yeah totally....the Big Bucks camp sitting with the world hurdle trophies n Quevega with the who gives a **** trophies let's be honest
when quevega finally isn't in the mares race anymore they'll have to get rid of it as it will be a total embarrasement.

My Paralympic and World U23 winning daughters will be thrilled with your insights on Women's sport, alleged22.
Sprinter sacre.
Back to his best.
Unbeatable.

My best bets and ones I think have a great chance of place or win Al Ferof Ryanair @ 20/1 Rock on Ruby Arkle @ 20/1 and @ 16/1 Ballycasey RSA @ 25/1 too many to mention! To me Quevega and Sprinter Sacre look bombproof and the more and more I look at the Gold Cup I can't see Bobsworth getting beat.
Rock on Ruby.... in thigh deep, not quite touching the danglies but deep enough.
got 83's on Harry Topper.... so I want it to be fastish ground Tuesday for RoR and a bog by Friday LOL 
Ming that could be my post!
Same price roughly on HT, all over Rock on Ruby and also praying for freak climate change midweek at Cheltenham!
Great minds etc...

We're the only ones waving the Harry Topper flag it seems :)
I backed him ages ago on here,so you aint the only ones.
Don't mind it being soft,have Sil Conti and Last Instalment as big winners as well,they should be ok on soft.

I dont understand why there's a few more comments on the forums regarding Sprinter Sacre being bomb proof.. He is still recovering from a dodgy heart situation.
I think this presents an interesting comparison with Denman. Denman had lost once in about 16 races including pulverising KS in the GC... then he had same heart problem and the results are there for all to see, simply not the same horse ever again.
I love SS and enjoyed cleaning up last year with him especially thanks to Coral's Evens offer for last year's festival! But i have managed to trade in and out so that if he loses the CC i win but lose nothing if he doesnt... and i am happy with this position because its impossible to ignore heart situation..

I think Wonderful Charms form is very strong, and he should improve for the festival - I've had a nice touch at 12s down to 6s for the JLT.
The New One has to be my banker though, I've spent hours pouring over the CH form and it'll be the first time I've oppossed the fly.
Jezki place lay is my current lay of the meeting.

Sprinter Sacre/Quevega/Bobs Worth - treble.
Screw you, and screw the gold run

VAUTOUR Supreme Novice Hurdle - the horse looks so large through the withers he must have a huge heart and lungs, nothing to touch him on Race 1, Day 1, and he is beginning to improve at a rate of knots.
Scared The Tullow Tank over to Neptune to take on Faugheen, which is WM's other huge Novice, so that tells you much.

Al Ferof - Ryanair
Cheltenham Horse
2 miles 5 furlongs optimum trip
Trained by one of the best to peak on the big day with a great record in the race
First Lieutenant looks exposed and was disappointing in the race last year where he lacked the speed at the business end, not convinced by the form or profile of Benefficient, Cue Card looks like running in the Gold Cup, could anyone trust Pipe to produce Dynaste to return to form and peak for the festival - I couldn't, Menorah looks pretty exposed. The key here is that in all liklihood Al Ferof won't have much to beat and will finally be running under his optimum conditions so for those reasons is my strongest fancy.
Currently 6/1 could go off 9/4 depending on the opposition
Good luck all.
