    A few Grand Annual winners and Coral Cup was all I could think off top of my head. Can't think of names. One was definitely a JP horse though.

    I looked at it last night, he hasn’t won a hurdles race since the County Hurdle in 2016. He’s won at least one Chase for the last 4 years. Another interesting one is the Champion Chase Dodging Bullets won was his first Festival winner over fences since Kauto won the Gold Cup in 2009.

    It was the Fred Winter that he won in 2016, Skeltons won the 2016 County.

    You’re correct, my mistake. He won the Martin Pipe on the Friday so that was his last winner over hurdles. I was shocked reading that last night I thought he won a hurdles race a lot more recent than that.

    I think recently and Im not sure if it has been dictated by the horses he has at his disposal or simply a change in objectives he has definitely put far more emphasis on the trainers title than Cheltenham.

    Has a weak enough team again this year at first glance, the only two I would be keen on are Bravemansgame and Shantou Flyer in the Foxhunters, maybe Next Destination and after that its only really the handicaps.

    Salubrious was the name of the horse. Backed him at 25s! Bolted in. 2013 Cheltenham festival. My biggest priced winner.

    Watching back the DRF i thought Galopin Des Champs for Willie could be one for the County. Was right there in 3rd place coming to the final flight but just faded away.

    I still like Hazel Hill for the foxhunters
    That was very good LTO, it needed to be tho.
    This is a quality horse. Age is a worry

    Have small fancy for us and them in the grand annual if he turns up fancied him last year too but I think ground was against him

    Finished second in a poor enough Arkle but stayed on up the hill well that day. Thought his run last year was very good to be fair but he’s a frustrating horse, the epitome of a bridesmaid. Wouldn’t put you off him though, haven’t checked but I’d say he’s a fair price.

    You could argue whomever posted the picture of Gordon was a Cheltenham plot!

    Keep an eye out for Call Me Lord if he runs in the Coral Cup. Will have an outstanding chance running off a high 140s mark.

    After yesterday's false promise, I don't know if I can rely on you any longer.

    Anyone else think Campeador is a potential plot? Would have won fred winter off 141, think he's off 134 in martin pipe? I kinda want someone to talk me out if making a sizeable wager
