Just had the time to go through this. Thanks for taking the time fellas, very informative plenty to mull over before kick off Tuesday. Massive credit to Oddy for putting it all together

Absolutely smashing lads. Love the format Oddy!

An absolute cracking read.

First thing that jumped off the page to me this year is that collectively we are a lot more on the same page than in previous years. The big races have divided opinion but there are other races where its not606 v the bookmaker!

Have a fabulous festival one and all

And Oddy thanks for flagging up Third Intention in the Cross Country- I had no idea he was in that! Sneaky fiver of TC's shillings to weigh him down now!

(S) Jonjo O’Neill rarely leaves the Festival empty handed and will be keen to avoid last season’s blank. His forte is the staying handicaps and in the Ultima he has cracking chance of getting on the score sheet early with HOLYWELL. It’s worth remember that he was less than ten lengths behind Coneygree in last year’s Gold Cup and has since slipped ten pounds down the weights. Already a Festival winner at this trip he must have a stunning chance. This also looks tailor-made for THE YOUNG MASTER who has taken a similar preparatory route as last year’s winner The Druids Nephew for the same connections. He is worth a saver.

Damnit, second and third in the first hcap!

Oddy put them in the wrong section. I clearly said that she wouldn't be beaten. Today she proved to be very special.

(WF) An absolute horrible race and will not be getting involved very heavily at all but if was to back to one it will be Battleford - I know when Patrick won on this on his only run for Willie he was very impressed and instantly thought this was a champion bumper horse

Forgot i tipped him up yday luckily didn't forget to back him lol
