    Am I mad taking on Druids Alter in the Boodles at 22s? Have looked at the race 100 times and keep coming back to him.


    I Like him but he has to give Jeff Kidder 10lbs:rolleyes: for 1/2 a length and that one is 50/1

    I know I haven't been paying too much attention to the racing since this covid shít started, no pub, no bookies so my interest kind of dwindled this year but what's the story with tomorrow?

    Where's all the horses? Most of the races have half or even less than the previous years.

    I thought the galvin price was nuts. Just surprised by the quick change around.
    Either way I thought remastered might be the ew play but at double figure prices. Hoping he drifts in the morning.

    Next Destination's return has been impressive, but I'm going to err on the side that Willie wouldn't let a good one go. However if my yoke in the Ultima wins it'll frank the ND form nicely which would be a concern as an early Galvin backer.

    It's down to the 10mm of rain that fell overnight which wasn't expected. Official going now soft gd/sft in places.
    The same has happened in the CH. Honeysuckle now into 7/4 from 5/2 this morning.

    Just watched a replay of last years C Hurdle and it has to be said Sharjah came through the field very easily only to find Epetante too good , can we expect a similar run this year and maybe even go one better ??

    Was a great e/w bet @ 14/1 last week but value gone now i think. Tough ask to beat the mares with that crazy allowance they get. GL

    I like Rachel Blackmore as a jockey. I've taken a chance on irascible EW. Thoughts?

    His prior race where he fell Vs teahupoo, he would've won and finished 20 ahead of Druids Altar. Pretty sure his leopardstown run was an anomaly so happy to take a chance by putting a line through that. Willie said after he shouldn't have run him that day and the market showed it on the day.

    As for lack of horses, pretty clear to see that just the occasion of Cheltenham is a driving factor for entries. With owners who can't experience the event in the same way, not as many will bother entering horses with a fringe chance of winning.

    I'm surprised hes not more heavily backed. Soft ground should suit aswell.

    Haven’t got to do a huge amount of studying for Cheltenham this year and haven’t done many ante post bets so missed out on a lot of the bigger prices for the likes of Appreciate It et al. My selections below for what their worth. Hard to get past a lot of the favs tomorrow, as boring as that may be. Would love to see Rachael and Honeysuckle do it in the CH. Can’t wait to watch/follow it all again like every year. Let’s hope it’s a good (and profitable) one!

    1:20: Appreciate It
    1:55: Shishkin (multiples)
    2:30: Happygolucky
    3:05: Honeysuckle
    3:40: Concertista
    4:15: Saint Sam
    4:50: Galvin
