No bet on at the moment but hopeful we will see the return of Balthazar King!

Anyone any fancies at this stage? My first time going to Cheltenham in March and can't wait to witness this race in person!

I haven't looked into this race at all so have no feelings or fancies on it. My biggest tip for the race would be to go and watch it in the middle of the course at one of the fences. I personally like the open ditch fence (Can't think of the number!) But its on the left as you walk over, you get 2 rounds of jumping and a good view to watch the Grandstand erupt on the running!

Enjoy the Festival. Its everything you wish....and more

I thought quantativeeasing was going to win last year before being barged out the race so he would be my first choice at this stage and dogora 16/1 is also a decent each way punt in my opinion

Pretty unoriginal but I think the fav looks really solid. But couldn't back him at 3/1 in a race like this, two months out. Will probably be not that much different on the day.

Used to think this race was a joke, but really enjoy it now, and it seems to make it even more enjoyable when you see the same horses taking part year after year.

Mind you, as I backed both McGregor the Third, and the Czech horse, was it Registrana?... it's no wonder I had some early scars Sad

Anyone heard anything about quantitative easing going for the race?? I agree with barney about last year's run, looked very unfortunate. with josies orders looking 1st choice it's far from a certain runner.
Not sure if i Hope balthazar king makes it, an amazing record at cheltenham for a horse which is known to chance a few fences. But after the injury he sustained falling In the national,  if he does line up, I just hope he gets round safe.

No longer a handicap so I think Jossies will be very hard to beat and might dominate like Garde Champetre.

No great interest for me but would love to see Any Currency win it.Will have a small bet in running. He never knows when his beat this horse

Enjoy the middle. I totally agree with JB  Great place to watch it

Had the king in a special double 2 years ago when he won the Dec race and the fez one at 33/1 courtesy of lads. Made my fez and only won by a nose from any currency. Couldn't speak for shouting at the television afterwards haha
