    Guys, I feel so confident about this I had to post an independent thread!!

    400 Cheltenham: Vino Griego 12/1

    I don't think I can express more strongly how much I fancy this horse!! CD winning form which has been franked left, right and centre - he had Ackertac, John's Spirit and Tuesday scorer Rajdhani Express 68, 73 and 151 lengths behind!! He would prefer more juice in the ground and he is up 7lb for his last win but that shouldn't be insurmountable considering connections have figured out which way to ride him. I will be following this horse as I feel he could still make a mockery out of his current mark. I will be placing my biggest bet since the 2008 Festival on him!!

    Really would love to see this win for a training operation I admire greatly. It does seem like they've finally cracked it with a horse who previously looked ungenuine. Might have a little e/w myself. Good luck.

    I'm struggling like buggery to pick on in that race so yes, go on, you've convinced me. Vino Griego goes in the e/w Lucky 31. Good luck to us all

    Good selection Drever and just failed, but your conviction was well founded. I really know how you felt as sometimes you just really fancy something beyond the norm, It's a hard one to explain but always worth following as you did today.

    Cheers Blue, love the horse. Don't think he is finished with just yet, he met a better horse on the day
