If My way de solzen runs in the World Hurdle he's a good e.w bet.
In the Gold Cup Iris's Gift e.w. & Mister Hight in the Triumph are my fancies atm.
dont know what day he is running but Commercial Flyer is being talked about as a good each way bet.
As for the gold cup,its anyone guess.
The weather is a bit up in the air so I'll leave it off a little longer. I have a couple of horses I'll post here in a few days, nothing spectacular just some with a good shout of winning.
Im backing Accordion Etoile in the Arkle if its anything better than soft, its won twice around there already once each over fences & hurdles. It ran well over fences in Punchestown a couple of weeks ago and was just beaten by Central House and Jim, neither of which is in the Arkle so its main threat will be Racing Demon. Also Jim might be worth an E/W shout in the Champions Chase if it goes, its around 40/1 at the moment.
Likewise. My mate was in the Silver Springs hotel the other night when Ruby Walsh, Barry Geraghty, Henrietta Knight etc were there to give their tips and opinions on Cheltenham.Quote:

The amount of scruffy pub-regulars i know in the bank withdrawing upwards of €1000 today was very sad and worrying.
Sweet wake for me is the nap of the festival (Supreme Novices hurdle)
Iris's Gift is my tip for the Gold Cup. If she can stay on her feet she's got a great chance for me at about 20/1. not sure of those odds but there or there abouts.
so it would be worth an each way bet real ale?
He's 20 (19/1) on betfair.
For other odds go to www.oddschecker.com
Here's one for each day:
Tuesday: SI Cross Country Steeplechase - Buailtes and Fadas (6/1)
Wednesday: Coral Cup Hurdle - No Where to Hyde (9/1)
Thursday: Ryanair Steeplechase - Hi Cloy (8/1)
Friday: Triumph Hurdle - Afsoun (6/1)
Odds of 6995 to 1 for a yankee!
Good luck!:)
each way at that odds yes. I also like the chances of Fota Island in the Queen Mother about 5or6/1 I should think.Quote:

For the record I'd also like the Yankee Superhoops highlights and Fota Island for me is also a great hope.
Faasel in the Champion Hurdle is a good e/w bet.
my top tips are:
15:15 Cheltenham, 14 Mar 2006-Brave Inca
15:15 Cheltenham, 15 Mar 2006-Ashley Brook
15:15 Cheltenham, 16 Mar 2006-Korelo each way
15:15 Cheltenham, 17 Mar 2006-Hedgehunter either to win or each way
Foreman in the Arkle Chase, 7/1 now but will maybe go off at 5s. Could even be favourite if people get on him.
Is your lunch break or knock off time about 1515 by any chance????:)Quote:
