    As I thought, according to WPM as of this mornings presser Yorkhill going Champion Hurdle.
    What will Ruby ride ? Is this a reflection of Faugheens work at home? Or Melons?
    Could Yorkhill rediscover his form? BD looking like the acca buster to me this year. Cant have him at 4/7

    Hopefully Faugheen, looks lovely and lively on the gallops this morning.
    Its going to take Ruby and the roar of the Cheltenham crowd to get him alive, he just looked lazy the last day but the positive was he finished 2nd.

    I can't see all 3 running in it tbh

    He will be going for the JLT when the ground is confirmed as soft.

    Quite the opposite really, a more correct headline would have been ''Monalee target dependent on ground'' De Bromhead has completely left the door open for a re-think.

    Just backed yorkhill nrnb @ 8/1 in CH. I am utterly convinced BD is not the superstar they say and one of Mullins lot will beat it. Melon Faugheen Yorkhill. One of them will beat BD..........I HOPE ☺

    Will be very interesting to see who Ruby rides if both run as I would be very confident if he rides Yorkhill

    Id be thinking 95% of Faugheen is miles better then Yorkhill, but that said id love to see him win.

    I would say it is almost 95% that Ruby will ride Faugheen too. He's not an idiot Yorkhill might be very talented but he hasnt shown anything like his true form this year. There are surely better 8/1 shots in Cheltenham than him?

    I agree. Mullins will win with one of his. Faugheen, most likely.

    Been against Faugheen all the season but after a proper look at the race over the past few days I think he's a great bet now.

    I say i will be very confident with ruby on yorkhill because ruby seems to handle him. Townend seemed to struggle. If Townend or one of the Mullins boys ride him I don't think it has a prayer. But i agree ruby should and will ride Faugheen and I will roar him on with gusto. Hon Da Machine! ðŸ˜

    Same. Haha. I nearly fancy a WPM horse in nearly every race. Footpad, Melon/Faugheen, probably back VVM, Duc des Genievres, Al Boum Photo, Min, Invitation Only, Penhill, Laurina... Even coming around to the idea of Un de Sceaux and Djakadam... and Getabird. Mullins could turn Cheltenham into Punchestown. My wallet will be hoping so anyway.

    I'm the opposite I think Willie's going to have his worst festival in awhile.

    That's seems to be the general consensus but he has serious stength in depth and really solid chances in every race. He doesn't have the odds on pokes on of previous festivals but I think he has horses overpriced. His firepower is being underrated imo. Based on the odds his expected winners total is still around 4.7.

    No I think he's gone way too short now. I could see him running a big race though.

    Crazy stuff that gamble. Sometimes i think if you put a shetland pony in some of these races with W Mullins and R walsh beside it you'd have people queueing up to back it.

    That 33/1 is one of the bets of the week.

    It really is. Should he be so much bigger than Native River or Sizing John? He gave the second last some belt in the race last year aswell. His 2nd behind Don Cossack is near enough the best form on offer. 33s would suggest he's completely gone at the game which isn't remotely the case. He's wearing first time cheek pieces also apparently.

    Stone cold lock to be traveling like the winner 2 out, its just a case of how good is Sizing John ( as i think he should be fav) , and if he can finish well up the hill like the did the first time he ran in the race. He is the base of a my only real antepost bet a Lucky 15 that is larger than my usual bet.
