Cheltenham Friday

id say most people have given up at this stage

Carlito Brigante
Tito Bustillo
Tell Massini(Nap)
Kauto Star
Baby Run
C'est Ca(NB)
Tataniano

I also fancied Cest Ca Soapp, but am a bit put off by the ground. Who's the expert that tipped him up?

Triumph Hurdle: Carlito Brigante / Advisor ante post

County Hurdle: Bellvano / Noble Prince ante post

Albert Bartlett: Shinrock Paddy ante post

Gold Cup: Denman ante post

Foxhunters: Dun Doire / Kilty Storm / On The Net (perhaps in other words i ain't got a facking clue)

Conditionals: C'est Ca / Meath All Star

Grand Annual: French Opera ante post

hope ye all enjoyed the festival and made some money B-)

General Idea, I won't be given another one if I broadcast it on here. Take my word he is sharp. Apologies.

Awesome Impact. I know of someone else who has just tipped up On The Net. So you do have an idea.

OK Soapp, no problem. I have a nagging doubt though that he's better suited by soft.

Soapp i have went through the races and noble prince attracted my eye too, i can see bahrain starm enjoying the better going also, the one problem is noone knows how good this rock noir is , best hurdler in france wasnt it.
Roulez cool foxhunters and restless harry , alfred bartlett were 2 others for me
Im looking to lay alaivan [ triumph]
bellvano [county]
denman [ gold cup]
ashkazar [m.pipe]

triumph - carlitto brigante / westlin winds

county - belvanno / songe

albert b - restless harry / fioneagas

gold cup - Kauto Star Nap

foxhunter - amicelli / Baby run

mtin pipe hrd - radium / pause n clause

grand annual - moon over miami / you're the top

Agreed on Noble Prince, should travel well in through run race, ground will suit, likely to get a chance to lay in running as well given his racing style

Triumph Hurdle: Westlin Winds - underated performer, unfashionable stable

County Hurdle: Eradicate - in great form, strong booking

Albert Bartlett: Quel Esprit - Best over this trip

Foxhunters: Turthen - 2nd last year, in great form

Conditionals: On Borrowed Wings - barry can make up for his loss on dunquib.

Grand Annual: Tataniano - loves cheltenham, well handicapped.

The Irish rarely win this yet dominate the market so there might be value in taking them on. Soldatino will do me and his trainer knows what's needed here.

The MCR form looks the stand-out guide here and at the prices I'll take Puyol and particularly Thousand Stars. The latter looks massive at around 50 on here and he has been hiked less than most other Irish handicap hurdlers at the meeting, 2lbs as opposed to the normal 6 or 7lbs.

Not impressed with Willie running Quel Esprit here. I'll take the purported third-string Fionnegas with a small saver on Premier Victory.

There's a possible pace battle here with Denman, Carruthers, Imperial Commander and Cooldine so hold-up horses will be advantaged; that's Kauto Star obviously but I'll take Mon Mome e/w without the favourite (s) as a sporting bet.

It's a pity Agus A Vic doesn't travel.

C'Est Ca stands out a mile here. Unlike his stable-mates in the County Hurdle, he's running against a crowd of yaks. MCR Hurdle form white hot. Has a 3-time Grade 1-winning jockey riding in a young lads' race. Should like the step up in trip.

Oiseau De Nuit looks solid here. Russian Flag might hit the frame at a bigger price, rarely runs a bad race.

WM could just have a good day tomorrow, realistic chances in a good few, Tawaagg serious chance on last run, didnt get clear run at corner in leop, will turn form with puyol, above is correct, cest ca running in a donkey parade, has radium to beat l

I think WM will have 5 in top three tomorrow and hopefully some can win

Secant star
Tawaagg
One of the novices will be at least placed
Cest Ca
Cooldine

Really fancy C'est Ca in the boys race. He looks well handicapped on the promise he showed as a young horse and ran a stormer the last day. Despite it being a Festival Handicap it doesn't look hugely competitive and if mullins charge gets the trip (and luck inrunning) then he will take plenty of beating. Rest of the card looks pretty tricky bar the Gold Cup where I hope King Kauto does it again. The Albert Bartless is a very good race and this contest is really starting to establish itself in the calender. I initially had the race down to Tell Massini and Enterprise Park but the late inclusion of Quel Esprit changes things. I have a feeling Ruby was pushing Willie to run him to make up for yesterdays tumble given Willie already had a strong hand in the race. At 7/1 he looks a serious e/w punt. Can't see an Irish winner in the Foxhunters as Dun Doire will need plenty of rain while Kilty Storm will probably come up a bit short and I cannot see On The Net getting home.

in the final furlong B-)

wd norn im havin a canary

bring on Gowran tomorrow imo

any though on the 1st race bjg ???

Like the look of King of the Refs in it - poor race, Jim Bowie was nt too impressive in a poor bumper lto, Fearless Warrior wil lead em a long way and can see KOTR pouncin on him late on

Have the trainers putting up a jock able to claim 8lbs in the 4.40 been very shrewd
peveril david bass
meath all star k.m. o'donoghue

It must be a disadvantage having a conditional not able to claim?

C'est Ca gone at the first :0

Sums up my week really..

the price drifted on here very quickly right before the off from 12 to 17

Had 5/6 in the placepot -Noble Prince beat a sh for 4th (was sure he was up too) :( oh well

when i looked at the dec around dinner time carberry was down to ride kotr and not jim bowie which i found strang but see thats been changed now

ouch BJG - i thought he was up as well - 42k placepot divi today - unreal

Magnificent ride by Brennan again.

Absolutely tremendous tipping on here notably Prospero with Thousand Stars (50/1) Mon Mone (50/1 e/w) and Solatino. Your buying me a drink the next time I see you on course! :)

Hope Little Dancer had The Daily Mail X2 as there was a free forecast for a fiver in the Martin Pipe race. He tipped up the first two. (€307 for a euro the forecast).

Norn as usual comes up with a long shot Berties Dream (33/1)

Plenty others tipped well too. The only winner not mentioned on here was Pigeon Island. The Twiston Davies yard was on fire at that stage.

BJG, I went out of the PP on Noble Prince too but was sure he was 5th despite Simon Holt calling him 4th as he did with Any Currency the other day getting it wrong too when I went out that day. A bit annoying of him doing that. He shoud just say thats close. I only got 2 legs up today. You were very unlucky. For the minimum 10 cent stake you would have got over 4k. Bad luck :(

Woulda had 40p worth if NP had a longer head :(

Wont think about it :|

Tremendous big price tipping lads. Followed you in.

;-)

Plenty of sharp minds on the Irish Forum.;-)

Some fantastic tipping.

Well done everyone.

bit sick i didnt throw a saver on pigeon island off that weight

how did you tip berties dream NORN?

That beast lost an egg and spoon race around sligo and wins at the CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL, for fecks sakes

and he was backed too, i know in galway the bookies took a wee beating on it, either by the shrewd or crazys or both

hard luck with the placepot, if myslef and the lad i was punting with permed our selections we'd of had it as well

Brillant tipping by prospero and norn.

prospero big thanks followed thousand and mone. keep tipping
