Well I have started, so lets share what we have backed. Then we can laugh when they don't turn up, or do so at treble the odds! El Fabiolo - 3/1 QMCC Jonbon - 10/1 Ryanair Sir Gerhard - 25/1 World Hurdle (boosted to 50/1 with William Hill) Then multiples Love Envoi(Mare Hurdle)/Impaire Et Passe (Champion) @ 43/1 Facile Vega (Arkle)/El Fab/Teapuhoo(World) @ 307/1 Love Envoi/El Fab @ 31/1 Gaelic Warrior (Arkle)/Tullyhill (Ballymore) El Fab @ 900/1 Gaelic Warrior (Turners)/Tullyhill (Ballymore) El Fab @ 900/1 Jonbon/Impervious(mare chase) @ 23/1 El Fab/Jonbon @ 31/1 El Fab/Galopin @ 9/1 Mainly done with free bets, the only two with decent bets from the pocket are the El Fabiolo and Jonbon singles.
I wont lie, i've had one sneaky bet already... Stage Star, Ryanair & Teahupoo, Stayers @ 80/1 Done with a free bet... Hopefully i can resist adding to this one for a while now... Unlike you Nass...!!

Every year I see this thread start about now and go….yawwwwwwwnnnnnn, however I have actually backed one already and the thread owner will hate and ridicule it. Indeevar Bleu ew 50/1 Supreme
I'm sure this is the last thing in the world that you want to hear but Indeevar Bleu is also very high up my list to follow re the 2023/24 NH campaign (although I haven't been as brave as you and backed him for Cheltenham '24 yet). His March Bumper win looked incredible and marked the 5YO gelding out as one with, potentially, a huge, huge future. Can't wait for his hurdling bow. Indeevar Bleu also incidentally 50/1 for the Oliver Twist race at the Festival (the Ballymore). Meanwhile, going off topic, a bit, Ben Pauling has got the year younger half-brother.

I'm very surprised to see Flooring Porter still available at 16/1 (Bet365) for the Brown Advisory Novices Chase after an impressive chasing debut at Cheltenham yesterday. Gavin Cromwell confirmed he will only go left handed and he absolutely thrives at Cheltenham so he must surely have the 3 mile novice chase at the festival as his main target this season. I thought he jumped really fluently (stood off a bit far at a couple but got over them) and the time was pretty decent too - 3 seconds quicker than the Pertemps qualifier. There are many worse ante post bets around at the moment.
Three Card Brag National Hunt Chase. I was gutted when it was mentioned somewhere this last week. Ive had the nod since early summer.
