    Great shout but how much is anyone getting on that type of special bet?

    If I had 50 quid on it I'd be happy.

    Best: Delta Work (Gold cup) tho ill probably back Native River too as I have a soft spot for him

    Worst: Al Boum Photo (Gold Cup) rarely has a horse won the race back to back, even Kauto Star when it won twice didnt do it back to back.

    Considering it's only 3 weeks away give me your best bet of the Wednesday.

    Dynamite Dollars in the Queen Mother. Love how he ran against Altior and was nowhere near fit. Defi is over-hyped and Chacun as well. Altior prep has been woeful so I'm willing to take a big punt on the maestro Paul Nicholls getting another Champion Chase win. You's will all be sick of me piping on about him for the next 3 weeks :)

    Thought he was very impressive against Altior the last day too, only worry is there might not be enough runners to make it a good race for en each way bet and I wouldnt be certain that none of the 3 at the top wont turn up to make him worth backing to win

    Chacun is going to a lovely price on the day I think, the natives will wade into the other two, he is already out to 11/4. If he had any course form I would be very confident but at the same time don't see any reason why he wont like Cheltenham, could be the race of the festival, great to have a number of high class two mile chasers like the great days of Moscow Flyer, Well Chief and Azertyioup.

    Easily, he's way too short in what looks a tougher race than previous years and he's only back form injury.

    Bar Easysland who is a bit of an unknown he has no challengers at all, he looked great for 2 miles lto on heavy ground, theyll have him fit for cheltenham and same thing will happen as last year ;)

    Oh most definitely, but a good animal on his day. Jumps slow, but i think the race will suit him. I tend not to bet on this race but Yanworth will carry my 10er.

    Don't think Yanworth is of the quality to compete with the top 2 and might bite just needs retirement, Tiger at evens in which is basically a match bet between him and easysland aint bad

    Yanworth has never been short of quality....a bottler though.

    Easyland without doubt the biggest threat this year to the Tiger that Rolls.

    Loved On the Fringe for these a few years back.

    I havent rewatched the replay but wasnt easysland very dodgy over some of the obstacles in december from what i recall and this race is level weights but it was a handicap back when he won so im not sure he can beat a Tiger Roll that will come on from the boyne race

    Yeah and he was off 139 I think when winning that handicap which is a long way off, the jockey was the main problem with the jumping but with JP now the owner i'm sure a different jockey will be on for cc

    You could also say that English trained have won 3 of the last 6 + the 9 years before that!

    Got both these spot on. Might start a tipping service on the back of this success.

    Tbf Shiskin was 5/2 at the time. May not have put up otherwise.
