Saturday

Francie Barrett

Cracking day of racing ahead.

Anyone know what Hourigan is playing at with The Job Is Right by entering him in the cross country? From a distance point of view, I can see why this race might be attractive (3m I think might be too short for him) but it's a big jump to move it over to a cross country race which Enda Bolger will usually eat for breakfast. Put a tiny bet on it at 20/1 just in case Bolger's horse runs into trouble.

Almost certain The Job is Right has ran in a cross country chase already, Punchestown in November. Probably thinks he'll be his new A New Story.

Apologies, so he has.

Fancy Tenor Nivernais in the 1.10 tomorrow. Not the best handicapped horse in the race but maybe one of the few that will be trying. 12/1

Think so myself. Although I think Ballyoptic will beat him if they meet in the World Hurdle, have a sneaky feeling Ballyoptic wont be 100% today.

Racing on ITV4 again lads? Nightmare if you have EIR tv.

Apparently I am only backing 50/1 shots now:pac: but I like the look of Greyfriarschorista in the 8 15 at Kempton. 5lbs bellow its last winning mark dropped 2lbs from its last run over 7f when beaten 6l. Strp up in trip should suit and looks well over priced. 1 pt ew.

In the last race at Cheltenham Davy Russell would of had the choice of 2 dai Walters owned runners yet he takes the ride on different connections big martyre who is a longer price than the other 2 he could have ridden, must be big run on the cards

Ya, real shame. I had fancied Defi du Seuil to beat him.

Ben Gadot

Given the odds have taken into account the withdrawal will there still be a rule 4 on bets done beforehand?

Maria's Benefit in the last @Doncaster

Being talked up on the Edmunds site for Ages.

11/2 now.

Didn't get any of the fancy prices, forgot about it

Shemale

A few speculative bets at nice prices today all at Cheltenham

Uxizandre on his day is electric and the 20/1 about looks huge, granted he is just back from injury but King can get them spot on first time back and the ground might just be coming quicker than UDS would like.

Rocky Creek at 11/1 looks big too, interesting placement by Nicholls I dont recall him running in a CC before and he only carries 11-1 here and in Sherwood has a decent jockey taking 3lbs off him. He will definitely relish the increased trip but obviously can be a sketchy jumper and a monkey so all factored into the price, he had a herculean run off top weight 2 runs ago so still has some ability and was very very game that day.

Foxtail Hill 14/1, is jumping out at me, I always pay attention to NTD getting a horse into the bottom of the handicap at Cheltenham and Bargerry getting the leg up who is very friendly with the TDs and has done very well in these conditions. No other reasoning apart from this.

Have these three in ew fourfold with Thistlecrack and William Henry who I both feel will oblige.

Johner

Thomas Crapper in the next.

Very impressive from Sutton Place there.

Harry Angstrom

That's the Ryanair sorted.

Just weakened late on but great run !

I'd definitely be taking UDS on at short prices at the festival.

2nd but very disappointed with the change of tactics thought he would be in the vanguard forcing the issue, Geraghty was poor too, easing him off when he was still in the race and left him a ****load to do to try peg back a very good 2 miler. Backed Uxizandre for the Champion Chase 2 years ago and was disappointed to see him in the Ryanair where he led Don Cossack a merry dance.

Gringo180

If he runs with that exhuberance in a Ryanair id take him on all day long.

Ruby was really hacked off there when he got news faugheen out

Shemale

Dunno why people think Uxizandre is certain for the Ryanair, he just showed he is a very good 2 miler. If he can reproduce than run on better ground that will be more in his favour than UDS I think he has the beating of him.

Mgoraf

I can't imagine they'd run him at the festival tbh unless it's soft ground. Or maybe run him in the CH to avoid douvan

Wont beat Douvan tho unless they sprout wings.

Mgoraf

Or would they run douvan in the CH?

sting60

Duty Dance 12/1 Naas .Will run a very big race and forget his recent form he is bang there.We will see if my assessment of Thistlecrack is right as he should beat these hard held in the context of Gold Cup form.Imo Might Bite is the best 3m chaser around and based on his Kempton run another two furlongs would be perfect as he was putting distance (time wise)between himself and Thistlecrack from four out to the last.Forest Bihan 7/2 looks overpriced IMO.

With UDS in the Champion Chase and VVM in the Ryanair.....

Don't know why Ollie Bell felt the need to apologise to him for giving him the news.

Sorry, brain fart, forgot about Douvan, first Saturday I have had a day to look at the racing :eek:

mdwexford

4/9 on Thistlecrack today looks a much better bet than evens for the Gold Cup.

Thought he would be about 1/5.

Shemale

Is Faugheen out of the festival?

Pulled muscle apparently. 7 weeks odd to get it right....I cant see him there.

Mgoraf

Just out tomorrow but can't imagine they'd run him at Cheltenham now

Gringo180

That wind op has worked wonders on Many Clouds. What a game horse.

Shemale

Time for a new jockey

Wide open Gold Cup now.
