Lots to get stuck into Aupcharlie e/w Jetson e/w First Lieutenant nap Solwhit Cantlow Super Duty Arabella Boy
Dynaste for me in the Jewson, think he is an absolute certainty! Has pace, jumps well and stays! I have a 5 fold (Simonsig, The Fly, Quevega & Sprinter) placed a few weeks back running onto Cue Card! Think he is very underrated, possible due to him not winning the supreme! Bit worried about his jumping at championship pace but have no reason to desert him Oscar whiskey, proved he stated last time out in the cleeve and I think on the better ground he will just have a finishing kick to beat the plodders Will do a patent on the above and a big single on Dynaste
Forgot but I took a little bit of Oscar Whiskey at 6/1 each way in the World Hurdle via Will Hill. It was too big.
Quantity over quality tomorrow if you ask me. The Jewson is a good start, with some very nice novices and a short-price fav in Dynaste, to me he looks too short at the prices and Captain Conan and Module make more appeal. Then comes the Pertemps which is, as ever, an absolute lottery. Supposed good thing Sam Winner's stable appears short of top form and maybe Stick's old fav Bouggler can make us all rich on the forum? On paper the Ryanair looks a peach of a race and I think it will boil down to a match between Cue Card and First Lieutenant (who seems to be the latest horse to fall foul of the Gigginstown embarassment of riches - surely he should be in the Gold Cup?). Then comes the World Hurdle minus the champ and the Cleeve form looks the best guide here - I am taking Reve De Sivola to confirm placings with Oscar Whisky. The Byrne Group Plate looks a corker of a handicap with some really nice types right through the weights (who will be the first to say "Divers looks on a nice mark"?) and the Kim Muir will require a full set of polished darts. Cross country to end the day and plenty of studying to be done before 1:30 tomorrow.
Where is Texas Jack 12's, thought I got the best available which was 11's in one place only! Are you Galaxy in disguise?
Decent each way bet on FRISCO DEPOT Kim Muir 16-1 tomorrow. Plenty dont like hiom but he sure has some good horses and this one wont be far away!
Just put up Jetson E/W @ 14/1 up on the Wednesday thread! Would appear Eddie,Bob and me are in the same boat. With 5 places at 1/4 the odds he should be returning a profit.Very nicely handicapped in relation to his Irish mark. The meeting between the UK/Irish h'cappers only tackled those horses rated 140+ in an attempt to reach a concensus.Jetson is just below that and imo has got in lightly here. BG said in December at DP that this horse hates deep ground and has never really had a decent surface to run on.
Lining up a quid or two on what I'm dubbing The Tizzard Treble tomorrow Third Intention, Cue Card and Theatre Guide. Pays over 2000/1. Trainer has already had a winner this week and, here me out LOL, Third Intention should have beaten Capt. Conan last time, Cue Card is the Ryanair winner and Theatre Guide fell when looking like the winner up against Grandioso and Molotof. I'll still be backing Dynaste though for proper stakes.
I'm also going to back Oscar Whiskey at 4/1 Far too classy for this lot and will easily stay on the ground. Wonderful Charm is a fascinating runner after dodging h'caps off 149. Bog Warrior won't stay and RDS is slow.
Bog Warrior won't stay ? he won over 3m on heavy ground last time out and wasn't stopping but I agree OSCAR WHISKY should win
Reve De Sivola 2nd in the Neptune on good ground. Dickie Johnson will make sure Oscar Whisky doesn't stay!
True George,but Oscar Whiskey only went down by a neck on very heavy ground over C&D LTO. I'm pretty confident he can turn that around.
I think Bog Warrior is a cert to stay and would have stronger concerns over Oscar Whiskey who I've backed. Solwhit is really fascinating and I've had a small each way on him as well. I'm very strong on Jetson and Super Duty tomorrow but have decided to limit my stakes as these Cheltenham handicap are minefields.
Just been looking through the Pertemps Field - can anyone tell me how According To Trev has got an entry - as far as I can see he hasn't run in one of the qualifiers. My tip for the race - many mentions of the Nicholls stable form today but I think he has laid one out for this in the shape of American Trilogy. The grey is a previous festival winner (won the County Hurdle in 2009 off a mark of 135) and has tried chasing since then with mixed results. He does, however, seem to have retained his hurdling ability and had a couple of decent placed efforts last spring. I think this season has been all about getting his mark down and, having started the season off a mark of 141, he has been given a decent chance here off 136 with Harry Derham taking off 5. The 20/1 available earlier today has gone and he is blue across the board on Oddschecker at 16/1. Worth a little e/w dabble in this very compüetitive heat.
