This thread has given me a raging erection

praise the lord!

The Tetrarch

They must add in the first race roar onto the TV coverage. It is important.
What about the eejit that throws the newspapers up in the air at every finish?

Just to get the ball rolling!! :
To me it looks like it could be a good day for Fav backers.
Nothing stands out as a major danger to Appreciate It in the first. Blue Lord gets my EW money.
Think Shiskin will get the better of Enurgemene. Captain Guinness going well at the DRF when coming down looks an EW bet here.
Happygolucky hits a lot of stats in the Ultima so is my win bet. Aye Right the danger. Good race for the Brits normally.
Think Honeysuckle will maintain her unbeaten run. Think Sharjah & Abracadabras could make it an Irish 1-2-3.
Another shortie Concertista looks very strong in the Mares hurdle. Already have money on Black Tears EW here at decent prices.
Boodles often throws up a big price winner so I'll look for 2 at decent odds. Possibly Druids Altar and Glorious Zoff. Busselton backed at bigger prices.
Royale Pagaille shortening for the NHC with Galvin on the drift. Already backed Longhouse Poet so will try one more EW on the day. If Secret Reprieve runs here I will be backing. Not going to Cheltenham.

Aye right the best bet of day 1. I think some sort of record will be broken this year for winning favourites. Just can't see past most of them, unlike recent years where I have been taking most of them on.

Think Appreciate it will win the Supreme but wanted to take him on. Dont think the English challenge is up to much so had to be Ballyadam.

Is pagaille not going for gold cup ?

Not accoring to my AP bet and the exchange markets. Guess we'll see Weds if he is kept in the NH. But seems the general train of thought is the better the ground the more likely he is to stay in the NH

National Hunt Chase

Will go with Acey Milan each way here, who's available at 50s. Is also entered in the Kim Muir. Am hoping the marathon trip and goodish ground can see him make a bold bid on his 5th chase start. Has shown some ability; albeit over hurdles, when the ground was close to good, when staying on over 6fs or so shorter, in May and November of 2019 at Punchestown and Haydock. Would like to think he has a chance, should he go to post.

Ive been telling myself this is the year we all bash the bookies. However, I've been saying that for about 15years

I'll be doing singles and have some combos of the below. They can't all win. Or can they 😅. Be great if it took a global pandemic for the Average Joe punter to bash the bookies.

As much as I'd love to say otherwise, it really is hard to look past most of the fav's.

There's either nothing to take them on with for win purposes (take the Supreme for an eg) or the alternative has questions to answer (Energumene). The benefits of ante post betting coming to the fore again.

maximo31

Reading the JO'B preview he seems to be leaning towards the Ballymore now with Keskonrisk. Not set in stone yet though.

Longclaw is one I was looking into last night. Could be a nice EW bet. Just wondering did he move from Gordon after last week's news or was it moved before that?

That was an absolutely appalling Champ Hurdle she won last year.
