The going is shaping up like easy ground so I think I'll back Celestial Wave in the World Hurdle.
I've already backed In Compliance for the Gold Cup but its a doubtful runner:(

Depends on the ground 12th man so I'll hold off on any predictions for another week. As long as it's not heavy then Black Jack Ketchum would take all the beating in the World Hurdle though IMO.
Denman has to be favoured in the Sun Alliance and Kauto Star obviously if he can stay on his feet but a lot can happen weather wise yet.

Just the one. Kasbah Bliss at 29s for the World Hurdle, 16s the lay on betfair now but the stake doesn't make it worthwhile, will let it ride.
give 'burntoakboy' a chance in the coral cup...14's at the minute!
tysou worth somthing also IMO in the grand annual about 16 in PP
Black Jack Ketchum must be doubtful with all this rain.
yeah, cant see it racing if the weather continues to be this bad! didnt fancy it anyways!Quote:

So that includes a lot more of the horses that weren't going to the festival if it was on better ground. I think Celestial Wave is a very good bet for the World Hurdle. Black Jack Ketchum will be saved for Aintree if the ground is soft or worse. Celestial Wave will relish the conditions and her front running style will suit Cheletenham as she can dictate the pace. She doesn't give up easily as she showed in her last race at Gowran Park and at 12/1 is a nice e-w bet. I've it backed.
Also had a very good word on Gemini Lucy in the Arkle. In at 16/1 at some, from 33/1 about two weeks ago. A guy from Newmarket I know won't shut up about him. Maybe worth an e/w punt in what looks an open affair.
That's all so far, seeing Ruby and Nicholls tonight in one of those preview things, might turn up one or two things, but not holding my breath.

Not the Sub, Cork venue tonight. Prob hitting the rest of the country this week with no racing at all going on. Ground is going to be terrible if this persists.Quote:

Beef or Salmon at 18/1 on soft ground for the Gold cup is not bad odds – neither is L’Ami at 16/1
It's a pity as she was looking like a great chance on the ground.
