Just saw this priced up with Betfair Sportsbook, so thought I'd post for a bit of fun.  Prices are correct as at today.

I've put in the noteable runners below (these are from memory, so I know there will be ones I've missed).  Obviously JP will have a big play in the handicaps as well.

JP McManus     7/4
More of That, Jezki, Shutthefrontdoor, Gilgamboa, Jollyalan, At Fishers Cross, Alvisio Ville, Uxizandre + plots in almost every handicap, and a decent hand in the cross country.

Mrs. S Ricci (Rich Ricci)     15/8
Faugheen, Vautour, Champagne Fever, Douvan, Djakadam, Ballycasey, Annie Power

Gigginstown House Stud     5/2
Road to Riches, Valseur Lido, Don Poli, Don Cossack, Clarcam, Tell Us More, No More Heroes, Lieutenant Colonel, McKinley

Graham Wylie     20/1
Shaneshill, Black Hercules, Boston Bob, On His Own, Nichols Canyon, Briar Hill

Simon Munir & Isaac Souede     20/1
Peace and Co, L’Ami Serge, Vyta Du Roc, Bristol de Mai, Top Notch

Bloomfields     50/1
Any Other     66/1
John Breslin     66/1
Barry Connell   100/1

So how much are we all putting on Giggi then?? Laugh

....although actually is Ricci the bet here?

Giggi have a lot of quality horses, but all are 5/1+.

At the moment, Ricci has four at 7/2 or lower (Vautour, Faugheen, Annie and Douvan); with Faugheen and Annie likely to go off odds on, on the day.

Just looking back at the last few Festivals to see who won it...

Last year... Gigginstown won it having started the Friday with 0 winners, they ended up with 4. Dr. Lambe was second with 3 and JP & Ricci had 2.

2013 ... Wylie and JP had 2 each, JP shaded it on countback as far as I can tell

2012 ... JP with 5 - Sychronised / Alderwood / Bellvano / Sunnyhillboy / Alfie Sherrin

2011 ... Gigginstown with 3 & Potts with 2

2010 ... Hemmings with 2, David Johnson with 2, Hammer & Trowel Syndicate with 2, draw on countback between Hemmings and Johnson with 1 second each

It's probably a more interesting market this year though than any time in the past with a high concentration of horses with the bigger owners.

Good work SYT. I was trying to find out previous winners for the last few years but had no luck (and too lazy to do it manually!)

Very true. Fancy the both to win their races, although I had to google who the owners were Laugh

Hoping one of them is a good winner tomorrow at Donny.

JP goes into most of the handicaps mob handed. Also expect a full return to form at Jackdaws Castle. Jonjo will have a lot of well handicapped/fresh horses - he might not be the daftest bet to be top trainer.
