If your a novice then all I'll say is stick with your own thoughts, read the form, and dont bust your bollox! I'd fancy Imperial Commander in the Gold Cup as my NAP of the week, and AighteenThirtyThree in the RSA . Stick with it man, Cheltenham is where a lot of people fall in love with horse racing.

Wait and see how the ground is, i wouldnt go picking selections in all races so far in advance.

Best of luck with your bets. I'm going for:

SNH - Magens Star e/w
Champ Hurdle - Thousand Stars e/w and if good ground Clearks Choice e/w
Arkle - Still mulling this one
Cross Country - Sizing Aus e/w
Mares - Quevega win

Decided from last year to steer clear of all the handicaps, myself and mates usually throw in a few quid and draw the horses from a hat, winner take all. Handicaps are too hard to call at Cheltenham IMO.

Quick thanks to all the regular posters on here, got some good tips last year from ye, hoping to get some again this year. Good to read people who know a lot about the sport.

Supreme Novices - Zaidpour (if ground is in favour) @ 9/1
Arkle - Realt Dubh @ 9/1

Want to wait to have a look at the handicaps declarations before I even contemplate backing in them.

Stewart Family Spinal Research Handicap Chase Tue 2:40

Fair Along:I loved the look of his last run over fences where he just failed to haul down Noland and What a fiend. That form of his mark here of 148 and racing weight of 11:04 looks exceptional and he must have a great chance of placing at least. HR has very good course form and is higher rater over hurdles
