Well on attheraces, their doing a who will win the most races the British or the Irish and so far, they have picked virtually every favourite, to win every race. They seem to forget, that every horse is trying at Cheltenham, wheras they aren't totally putting it all in, in the lead up races, to the big week.

They come across as anoraks in their field and to a certain extent they are but the reality is they're too quick to dismiss anything bar the principles and it's a little boring for me. Have watched the first half of it so far and not sure there's anything new I didn't already know. Would be good to see one of them offer an alternative at a festival which is possibly the weakest in a very long time with respect to potential superstars and strength in depth. The closest we got was not being sure about the majority of the champion hurdle contenders' form.

I don't know about others but I rate a good few strangers off the internet (on forums and websites like this) above any of these mainstream pundits.There's one lot who get paid to do it and the other have to fit it in around normal jobs.

The only one I would listen to on that panel is Steve Mellish and that's with one ear closed! Mark Howard is just reading his book under the desk, and he still mentioned Tell Us More! And as for Dave Nevison, good old Lydia shot him down when he was slating Sprinter Sacre.

Can't wait for part 2!!

Apparently if a horse is not in the first 3 or 4 in the betting it cannot win,and hardly worth a mention.
Absolute garbage yet again served up by RUK.
As said earlier,I would rather look at this forum.
