I link Briar Hill but he shouldn't be favourite. If Kings Palace was wearing Ricci colours it would be odds on.

this briar hill is going to be very expensive for me if he comes up the hill in front...
still, looking forward to the challenge of getting him...lets hope the cash keeps coming, could be very short come the day, especially if willie has a good week as well |

I can't have him at all man. Boston Bob and Pont Alexandre all over again..grinding out novices in Ireland and then beat at Chelts

I am amazed that some people keep mentioning Boston Bob and Pont Alex all the time. BB was beaten by a horse that could have been anything and there were genuine excuses for PAs performance. Most of WMs favourites in the non handicap races at Cheltenham have won anyway. Have a look at the Pipes record with favourites in those races. Most of WMs horses are now poor value prices but its not his fault (was not Pipes fault either).

I'm still on the fence on this one. The Neptune and the Albert Bartlettt are very similar.
I've got Faugheen & Briar Hill in a small trixie with Vautour. And I've got Vautour/Faugheen in a double for £5 at 24/1 as one of Paddy's enhanced specials. I've also got King's Palace in a 20/1 double with The New One. You can go on form, and if you look at King's Palace & Red Sherlock their form is both strong and franked repeatedly, or you can go with hype. On paper, Faugheen and Briar Hill have done absolutely nothing. It's easy to say that you should oppose hype horses at Cheltenham but the problem is that the hype horses from that yard so often live up to the hype. The other option is you can pick something from left-field in either or both races. Because of the money coming for the front two in each race you will get some good prices on the rest, and it's likely a place will make you a nice profit. If my small stakes doubles and trebles work out I could be in a nice position come the potato race, but either way I imagine ill be looking for something at a price to give the principles a race. |

A pleasing result

Yeah £5 win trixie on Vautour and Faugheen with Briar Hill at 5/1 the third leg
 Reckon it is worth the best part of £900 if Briar Hill gets up tomorrow so am tempted to stick £100 on Kings Palace who I rate the main (only?) danger |
