Hurricane Fly for me. He's already a great in my eyes, but feel he doesn't get the credit he deserves with plenty of people. Surely a win this time would put an end to that.

Sizing Europe.  He was robbed of a Champion Chase a couple of years ago and had no chance against the mighty Sprinter Sacre last year.  A true Cheltenham festival specialist.

Hey Big Spender in the Cross Country (please let him take to the course and be on a going day).

Honourable mentions to the admirable Melodic Rendezvous and the valiant Celestial Halo.

Would love to see Big Bucks win, true champ coming back from injury....

Hurricane Fly. My favourite NH horse by a country mile. Faugheen is by far my biggest winner but I'd take him losing to see the fly win again

Money aside, horses you want beat...?

I really hope Champagne Fever doesn't win the Arkle. He's done nothing on the track all season and I think it'd be a kick in the teeth to a few of the other trainers who have really had to think hard about campaigning their runners with limited opportunity and bottomless ground.

Grand Vision in the Pertemps. He was so unlucky to be balloted out last year despite winning a qualifier and his run in the Albert Bartlett surely confirmed that he was amazingly well in then and the stable were in better form than now. Sadly he is not as well handicapped this time.

i would love to see Sizing Europe win.  I backed him when winning the Arkle and the QM, backed him when he failed due to unforeseen circumstances.  dodged him last year but now with no sprinter i would love nothing more than to see him win or end up in a battle.
He is a truly great 2 miler in my eyes and I won't have a bad word said about him.
If connections believe he retains his ability who am I to doubt it, i have put my trust in them before and they have delivered. 
I wish him and connections the best of luck for sticking by him and believing in his ability which is admirable as people are too quick to slag him off saying he is too old and he isn't as good..
Good luck Sizing

Big Bucks (the end of a great career) and Annie Power (the start of a great career)....
Er, hang on a minuteCrazy

I really hope there are a couple or more "little" trainer and/or "ordinary joe" syndicate wins.

Hurricane Fly because of all he's done for me over the years I'll savour this one if he can win a 3rd Champion hurdle.

First Lieutenant winning the Gold Cup. To show he always needed the Gold Cup trip and good ground and vindication for Mouse.

Boston Bob to win Ryanair because he deserves a big win having been unlucky at last 2 festivals where he got a shocker ride and then fell.

Big Bucks winning a 5th World Hurdle to silence the doubters and go out as a bigger legend than he already is.

I'd like it if Morning Assembly won the RSA, be nice to for Fahy.

Its improved all season and can only beat who is put in front of it. We will see.

Big Bucks... even better if Annie Power was to finish second, it would show was a class horse he really is.. well that's if this Annie Power is even up to G1 standard? who knows

Totally forgot Sizing Europe, would love it if he won. I'd cheer him up the hill even over my own selection Captain Conan.

Sizing europe victory would move even the most harden cynic.  Drying group and he could get his favoured good.  Not had it for ages but look at his record when he has!  In a week race he has a great ew chance,

yep, Sizing Europe is a great call.

He deserves another Festival Championship race win after the pulled muscles, transit fever and Champion Chase missing last fence calamities.

Best horse connections have had, and has been campaigned in very sporting fashion, a rare bright star in an otherwise lacklustre season.

Plenty of folk (myself included) wont have him on the course and be good to see the best horse win.

Last Instalment.

Firstly, because it would be great to see a real talent complete a tremendous comeback.

Secondly, to see the public reaction because other than cheering him in like a hero I doubt very much there would be one other than assorted pen-pushers jumping up and down.

Good calls on Somersby and Oscar Delta. My first choice was Big Buck's. It would be wonderful to see him tie Golden Miller's record.
