Buveur Dair (Champion) 8/15
Apples Jade (Mares) 8/13
Samcro (Ballymore) 4/6
Laurina (Mares Novice) 8/11
Individually I am really struggling to find anything that will beat these four. They stack up to a four-fold that works out at around 6/1 or maybe slightly less depending on the bookie you can get on with. It is against my normal way of working (especially at the Festival) to pile into shorties. However, I reckon the high street will be desperate to get these ones into the book and if it is as competitive as normal you might find some 5/6 or possibly evens on the morning of the individual race. So, if you fancy these four it may be worth rolling up singles where you can get on. I think I'm going to.

Thats why the bookies love Cheltenham, because I would expect a couple will get beat, eg falls, something falls in front of it and gets brought down. Remember that every horse that runs at Cheltenham is geared up and brought to peak fitness, for whichever race it runs in, whereas some of the horses that the favourites have beaten, may have not been wound up fully. Now obviously the favourite will also be wound up to run a big race, but its Cheltenham and with heavy ground anything could happen.
