The Cheltenham Thread

Keano

Right so it's nearly upon us and I for one cannot wait... My drinking exploits on Saturday night yielded me a €50 PP voucher

So can we use this thread for all things related to the meeting? It is a lot handier than having to start daily threads.

I've not yet studied the form but and how best to used my €50 voucher but once I do I'll post up my daily selections.

I can see some bets slipping between the cracks of Horse Racing and Gambling forums.

I'd agree with that Mike but just started the thread so we could have one thread in here.

garde champetre nap
the package
and voler la vadette

arkle torn between sizing and somersby

and cant get my head around champion, could back 4 in it and not hit the winner

ghosttown

Good luck to all. All I'll say is shop around !
PP for 1st race, money back if Dunguib wins.
Make sure you get 5 places in the 240.
Bruce betting if you think Ruby has a chance and want something else. If Ruby wins a race, they're giving the losing stake as a free bet on next race...........

I'll be in a pub close to all 3 ! and a Boyles of course.
Have posted up already, but tomorrow I'm on Sizing Europe, Kyhber Kim, Ogee and Zarinava, all can be backed ew.........

Bring it on !
(And make sure you pace yourself, stick to a stake, and be aware that the last on Friday can get it all back with a decent priced winner......:))

Vurnon San Benito

I'm having a bit of General Miller E/W @22/1 thank you very much.
Good feeling about him

Best of luck to all.
We'll see you lot !
Dooce.

x PyRo

Go Native and Dunguib double @ 8.5/1 is serious value people!.

They're my day one bets.

3. Bensalem to win, Ogee e/w (being talked up everywhere)
4. Solwhit to win, Starluck e/w
5. Garde Champetre, Silver Birch E/W
6. Quevega, Artic Magic e/w

Good Luck.

Well done on the voucher by the way, to be honest even if you did get it for nothing i still wouldnt put it all on one horse, id go for an e/w 1euro lucky 15 and that leaves you with the 20 left to go with a nice gut feelin! best of luck mate

missed the comments that mac made that has davy russell so annoyed. WHat did he say?

Axwell

Disaster of a day so far..can only get better..or can it

Is it worth taking on Master Minded?

Probably best going for an e/w nag instead

Axwell

At those odds you would want to be putting a lot of money on, would be better off going for an E/W on padydeplasterer
