    J'y Vole (8/1) is almost certainly value although there are a few at bigger prices I'd be more interested in.

    Tartak will appreciate the ground as will Roberto Goldback. He has form that ties in with J'y Vole and despite the fact that she gets an extra 2lbs in Britain than she would in Ireland, the difference in price between the two is enormous. She has course form but Roberto Goldback jumps really well and was going well when taken down by Riverside Theatre at Punchestown last year.

    Who the hell do you think you are with your picture. YOu are the one looking like a clown. People cannot even discuss this great owner without being insulted.

    Lololololol so hilarious.

    Tomorrow might be the worst days racing in the history of the festival.

    Reverse Forecast in the first for me: Wishfull Thinking and Robinson Collonges.

    Also Wishfull Thinking,Sivota,Poquelin,Big Bucks and Aigle Dor €5 Each Way Acc.

    Might throw in Mourad instead of Big Bucks as it being even money isn't worth a punt e/w


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,900 ✭✭✭Eire-Dearg


    Big Bucks, Kalahari, Noble Prince and Quarts E/W accum - thoughts?

    Also mulling over Sivota. Argh!

    theres no value in including Big Bucks in an ew accumulator. Kalahari King is stepping up from 2m division and 2m5f takes an awful lot of stamina around Cheltenham and thats one reason I'm not a fan of his in this race. Noble Prince has a veery good chance of winning and I couldn't argue with that pick but price is everything. What did you take? About 9/2? I don't even know what Quarts is....

    Sorry, Quartz de Thraix (or something like that).

    Noble Prince is 6/1.

    I think Mr Gardner is an absolutely stunning each way bet. Was going nicely behind Captain Chris and Medermit before he nearly cut his body in half over the second last or so,never had a chance then. If he can brush up his jumping I can see him being bang there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Big Bucks 11/10 with Paddy Power now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭MANUTD99


    Noble Prince 1.30

    Barafundle 2.05 EW doubled with Big Bucks..


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 4,991 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shane732


    What about the Montjeu factor for Noble Prince?! :p

    Looking back at his race last year he didn't get up the hill.

    I think he has a good chance but Wishful Thinking is a strong favourite IMO.

    Edit: I'll probably back Noble Prince anyway!

    Betfred have pushed him out to 5/4.

    Big Bucks was available at 6/4 before the race last year. I think the bookies will take him on again this year, despite them not having such a good year as last year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭MANUTD99


    Looking back at his race last year he didn't get up the hill.

    Inside information has informed me he ate his weetabix this morning and will fooking run like the clappers up the hill!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    Is that someone from the stable Manutd?

    Lads are 5/4 aswell.

    Voy Por Ustedes each way in the 2.40 is my bet of the week I'd say,but a load of others are fancied.

    it would appear safe but nothing is ever certain with this lark. maybe double up that bet with kalahari e/w, it'll give you interest in 2 races plus could provide a better return

    That's it.
    With a horse that short I don't know about each way,say if it comes second you'd only get about 2 euro back off your ten euro bet,if even.
