    Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!

    Using the same criteria as yesterday* (course form, a win this NH season, price), I'm not going near the bumper.

    13.30 Chicago Grey
    14.05 Rock on Ruby
    14.40 Wayard Prince
    15.20 Sizing Europe (no recent win but has course/ground and made me few bob last year)
    16.00 Aegean Dawn
    16.40 Celtus

    274560.00/1 :D

    *subject to corrections

    My bets so far are,

    1.30 Chicago Grey E/W

    Some good runs around Cheltenham, looks like he will stay the 4m

    2.05 So Young

    Looks very good, impressive in first two hurdle races. price a bit short now though.

    2.40 Mikael D'Haguenet E/W

    Brilliant hurdler, not so good so far over fences, probably a heart over head bet but would Ruby back on I'm hoping tomorrow could be his day.

    4.00 Aegean Dawn E/W

    Unbeaten so far and has been very impressive over hurdles.

    Hopefully we've all had a chance to take in the amazing opening day of Cheltenham.

    I hear there has been a lot of talk about Alfa Beat in the opening race tomorrow, apparently Charles Byrnes is very keen on him and he's in cracking form. Alfa beat has beaten some decent horses on the way to Cheltenham. The long time off might be a bit of a concern. I'll probably hold fire to watch the markets and see it Byrnes can influence a Cheltenham market!

    There's a very strong Irish chance in the second race and all going well we should win it. It's hard to look beyond the Mullins/Walsh combination. Couple this with the fact that Oscars Wells might not handle the ground I'll be siding with So Young.

    Hard to believe that the opening to Irish favourites will go in but I live in hope!

    Very interesting to see that Ruby has opted to go with Mikal in this one. One would have thought that he'd be on Aiteen Thirty Three seeing as he's been tipping him up at every preview night. Time for Rupert has a favourites chance but I think he's plenty short at 5/2 so I'll be looking elsewhere. Chicago Grey in the first will give an idea of Time for Rupert's form. I'm going to stick with Aiteen Thirty Three as both Ruby and Paul have been keen on him.

    Then we're on to the big one. I have my doubts about Big Zeb being able to retain his crown. I think Master Minded has the form in the race and if he's back to the form Nicholls claims then Big Zeb is going to have to be at his absolute best to beat him. The ground might be a bit of a worry for Master Minded. I think his run in the QM last year can be discounted. His runs since last years QM have been better.

    Ted Walsh tipped So Young in the Neptune earlier today on Channel 4,

    He said that if Mullins' other horses were running good, then he would have to bet on him!

    I'm gonna have an E/W patent on the last 3 races:

    4.00 ARCALIS (25/1)
    4.40 KAYEF (25/1)
    5.15 RAISE THE BEAT (9/1)

    Added to that, I don't think Masterminded will be beat, he's my banker of the festival.

    Oscar horses haven't run that well today, and I think the trend will continue on Wednesday, so for me, that rules out Zeb and Oscars well :P

    All i'm hearing today is Agean Dawn.I've been advised to put my house and everything in it on this horse.
    I've never backed a horse in my life but am considering going for it in a fairly big way.
    Any advice here?Should i go each way or for a win?

    Think I will have a shot at So Young tomorrow. Mullins' horses always seem to be flying at Cheltenham and I would be cautious when going against them.

    Only issue I have with So Young is his jumping, seems a bit awkward as if he digs his front legs into the ground. Anyone else notice or worried about this?

    I think Ruby feels obliged to ride Mikeal, it wasn't so long ago he suggested that he could be a Gold Cup horse. Pity he can't jump for his life, they obviously saw something special in him for a while.

    I'm on So Young also but think 5/2 is pretty skinny now. Wish i took him earlier.

    Also on Aiteen Thirtythree and Mikael Dagger(don't know what i'm thinking with that one).

    Not decided on the big one. With the ground now going against the master, do you think his price will drift to 4s or higher. Couldn't resist at that price. He's still got the class and can't believe he's been overlooked by most.

    Have doubts over FL alright, more of a hopefully inclusion really. Go safe with So Young?

    Also have a question mark hanging on Sizing Europe.

    Who would ye lads fancy in the 2:05 and 1:30?

    Have only got two bets in mind for tomorrow at the moment...

    Time For Rupert to win and I'm also planning to have a little go at Master Minded. I don't fancy him in this one, what do you guys and gals think?
