Cheltenham Betfair Preview tonight with Paul Nicholls......

Lay anything he says will win...The Holy Grail

Bravemansgame has a decent profile for the Ballymore which would be a first for Nicholls.

Thanks for the link. Had been led to believe it was just on Facebook and Twitter. God knows why they use those formats. Chris Hughes might love them, but I suspect many racing fans wouldn't give them a second look.

Looks like the link has been removed?

I spoke too soon. Youth only invite. It seems you have to be on Facebook to watch the Sporting Life one. Crazy stuff. Do you want people to watch? You Tube is the obvious place for all of these.

Personally think he will do well to match last years one winner never mind beat it

Looks like they moved the link for some reason.

Thanks.

They have dismantled chat which makes it quite hard to ask a question.

I hope Nicholls has a good Cheltenham but he is notoriously optimistic so I expect him to predict at least six Ditcheat winners.

His smallest team for a long long time, will be lucky to get more than one I would think. I hope he does get that 'one' though.

Glad he gave the thumbs up for Bravemangame, already on at 8/1 so the Betfair price boost isn't much use at 11/2.

Did Dave Orton just mention Next Destination and 170 in the same sentence?

Oh dear, Sportsbook offering 12/1 Politologue for the Champion Chase, entered £100, was offered £2.10, what is the point??

Waiting to see what he says about Shearer. He isn't good enough/clued up enough for the Bumper, but he could be next year's Ballymore horse.

Frodon  20/1 for the Gold Cup, again entered £100 and was offered £1.25 - why bother.

Talking about shearer now............

tiger i got £1.25 on frodon

dave orton so annoying couldnt they have got a professional to do this

worst thing about that is the wife fancies frodon and she want half of it

jimnast, I dont see the point in these silly offers when you get restricted to pennies!

hotbath is that the fat fellow lounging around on the sofa ?

i would never challenge anyones pocket but i think a tenner at least on frodon 50 on bravemans and a pony on politalogue would be fair all round.

this is what really annoys me they are now banging on about what a great offer 20/1 is

frodon 20/1...50 pence they allowed me - wtf

Looks like Nicholls is wearing a body warmer with the word 'Moron' on it

you must be to tricky,so much for £2 been minimum stake on here,

young fella should just walk out, tried to make a point about native river & frodon, orton just started talking about something else ...

he is indeed tiger


love his enthusiasm hope he has a good week.

Agreed jimnast.

you would have to torture nichols to shut him up.

not only has he given us a dozen winners for this year he has given us next years arkle winner

mind you what an eye catcher at newbury.

were getting aintree winners thrown in as well now ,we will all be millionaires.

Seems very keen on Houx Gris but surely all the juice has gone? Horse who ran it close in France is 28/1?

ffs this frodon will be odds on in a minute.

Love the enthusiasm of Nicholls and I've enjoyed the preview.

i am now confused he has two that will win the arkle next year.

he is great tiger

stuck his £250 free bet on frodon as well.  the man is confident.

It was good to listen to them talk about Bravemansgame, I'm on each way, doesn't make any difference of course just gives you a little bit more confidence that you may have got it right, or get a good run for your money.

Good job there wasn't any alcohol in those pint glasses or they would still be talking now.

Frodon is as good an each way bet as their is for the GC imo, just hope the ground is right and good luck to them.

mullins/hendo must be having next year off

Indeed....lol...

17 yrs since nichols last arkle win, azertioup

Aye, a long time ago.

tiger i suggested frodon on that gold cup thread as the ew value around 16/1 and got the pis. taken out of me by statler and waldorf.

1st time poster

mullins and hendo must be having next year off

hendo might not have a choice the way he is carrying on.

statler and waldorf should know better imo.

that link tiger for some reason has took me into a preview with chapman,codd,blake and one of the atr presenters i was going to say the one who talks crap but that would not narrow it down,no matter what people think of chapman he is entertaining,i am sat her laughing away.

He's a character jimnast, they make the world a better place, love them or loathe them.

The one good thing about nicholls preview is that he only has to cover 3 days as he will be in the pub again on the Tuesday this year . He could stay there too if he liked , for all the difference he will make at the festival .

Oh.

always puts you away, does have 1 or 2 at cheltenham in the last 2 days but he is not in the premiership of this meeting
