Delta Work and Capodanno for me
Capodannos age and lack of runs over the last 12 month put a huge question mark against it. Could be a masterstroke by the trainer or it'll just be too much for it to deal with in the expected conditions. Good luck anyway mate.

Had a good run out in February, has won on heavy big ? Is his age but a 7yr old won it last year.

Delta Work is a solid bet. He knocked Tiger Roll off his perch in the cross country and it looks like he's been building up to this. I'm with Vanillier at a much bigger price than what's available now. Hate Galvin, undoubtedly a talented animal but I've lost a few quid backing that a couple of times. I wouldn't be surprised if Diol Ker were to outrun its odds.

Vanillier, The Big Dog and Our Power for me ...

I just think a 7 year old carrying 11'6 in testing conditions will take a monumental effort to win the race. Saying that the games changed hasn't it. I understand the attraction with punters who bet once a year but for me the race has lost its appeal, I've been disgusted watching the races this week over the National fences. They're like hurdles now. The animal rights brigade have been pandered to far too much.

Added The Big Dog.

Genuine lottery though, **** knows.
I keep looking at that myself. The ground will suit but could do with a bit more rain. The softer the better for that one.

I've lost a lot of interest in horse racing the last 2/3 years mate. This year was probably the worst I've been in the last 25 years of going to Cheltenham, not so much the racing but atmosphere, too many day trippers only interested in saying they go, no idea of what the racing is all about, just there to see how pissed they can get, that's if they're not off their heads on Charlie, happened to Ascot too.

Same mate. I've stopped popping along to Newcastle races for the same reason. Everyone sees it as a session and start singing football songs and all that ****. Cba with it.
