Cheltenham 2018

[blademan89]

Nearly time for the big one. Get you're tips on here lads.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Any winners welcome..

 

[Bobbin']

Nothing to get me too excited at the moment, will probably change as the days come and the market moves around.

Fancy Kalishnikov to upset the Willie/Ruby duo in the opener. Also like Beware the Bear if it doesn’t get too heavy.

 

[JJH]

Any decent bookie offers? I'm on the SkyBet one for the 1.30.

 

[spireite]

For those interested, these are my main bets for tomorrow..

With the ground having Heavy in the description, you've got to go for horses that won't mind the going.

1.30 Getabird 15/8 / Summerville Boy 9/1 - this doesn't look as strong a supreme as usual, and I Can't see a Labaik type to come in at a big price. Getabird I think is one the punters are trying to get beat, but he's got strong form routing Mengli Khan lto and handles soft ground well. Summerville Boy has an unlucky form book I think, could have won more races than he has. Stays well and has good stamina and that will definitely come into play here
2.10 Footpad 5/4 - Just looks a different horse over fences. Held Petit Mouchoir off no problem last time. I've backed Saint Calvados as well antepost but Footpad is my NAP of the day
2.50 Shantou Flyer 20/1 / Singlefarmpayment 15/2 - Shantou has good track form and will handle the ground well, jockey takes off a handy 3lbs. Singlefarmpayment was unlucky not to win last year and I can't pass him up as well
3.30 Buveur D'air double - should be a peno kick
4.10 Apples Jade double - should be a peno kick
4.50 Mossback 6/1 / Kayf Grace 20/1 - Mossback represents the same winning connections and rider as last year. Looks a proper stayer and hasn't stopped improving, good jumper. No Comment also looks a good bet
5.30 De Plotting Shed 7/1 / Rather Be 10/1 - De Plotting Shed looks well in here on weights, rating 7lb higher over hurdles. Trainer likes its chances. Rather Be looks a progressive horse and potentially top class, and looks to have improved again for switching to fences. Small bets here, this race is very competitive

Having a 1.30, 2.10, 3.30, 4.10 fourfold as well as a few multiples over the days, starting today

Just can't get excited by Footpad especially now at 4/5. Frustrating over hurdles but you're right in what you're saying re. the fences.

That said, small field will help and to be honest, I don't see much competition. Not the best of Arkles really.

I do like Shantou Flyer and Beware the Bear. Probably an each way bet on both.

Yea I was a bit disappointed when there was only 5 at final declaration. Might turn it a bit tactical.

 

[spireite]

And we're on the board ladies and gentlemen! Summerville Boy gets it done for me. Don't know what happened to Getabird, jesus, but I'll take the 9/1

 

[spireite]

Footpad by a street! 2/2 baby!

 

[JJH]

I owe you a pint already Spireite

 

[spireite]

20 free bet on coo star sivola. Think I've got 4 runners in this one now haha. Oops

I'd love it if Faugheen won this though

 

[spireite]

Nibble on Elgin

Up until about 15 minutes ago, yes. He can fuck off now though

I've done the same, if Jade comes in I'm £60 up for the day and I know nowt about this.

Going to the national next month though if our game at Boro is a dead rubber.

Yeah, will end up £55 up hopefully. Not a bad way to start.

Just as well, doesn’t get any easier as the week goes on.

 

[Bobbin']

Never mind.

 

[spireite]

Apples Jade breaks multiples punters hearts there. Midnight Tour ran an absolute cracker in 2nd, looked the winner going in

 

[blademan89]

Had £20 On skybet on summerville boy and £10 on willhill on it which paid double winnings, so £350 up after race one. Had £20 On footpad which won me £41.50 On willhill boost. Had £10 On coo star sivola on skybet won £60 Had £40 On buveur dair on willhill boost won £68.17. Had a 1.50 Yankee on the first 2, faugheen and apples jade, cashed out for £69 before Apple jade ran. Possibly been my most successful day of racing ever. Roughly £500 up for the day. Got 20 on ms parfour in the next.

Crazy, who you getting tips off? Well played.

 

[blademan89]

Northern bastard!

That 1st race was a reyt bonus especially the double winnings on willhill. Didn't fancy the favourite in any way whatsoever, was undecided on the next two so chose the winner because it beat Kalashnikov in there previous race also on heavy ground, was a close one in the end but luckily for me it won,been some cracking finishes today tbf. £10 on mister Whitaker in the last , hopefully round of a great day.

 

[spireite]

Mossback had a fatal injury in that fall, that's a huge shame. Puts a cloud over a pretty good day for me

 

[blademan89]

Only the 1st was a quality one, the rest were all favs.
