Not a day to go crazy but here's my selections for Day 2... 1.30 - Yanworth, one decent single plus in a few doubles & trebles... 2.10 - My Blaklion bet is an ante e/w but ive had a single on MOT today... 2.50 - Rock the Kasbah & Baoulet Delaroque, both e/w... 3.30 - UDS, but only in doubles & trebles... 4.10 - No bet but would be on Josie if i did... 4.50 - Jaleo & Missy Tata, both e/w... 5.30 - Ballyandy & Bacardys, both e/w... Managed to make a bit of profit yesterday mainly thanks to Altior, which was nice, and even with todays bets done im still up... Today could be a different story though but if Yanworth & UDS come in then i'll have plenty more to go at for tomorrow and friday... Good luck to all, and good luck to the horses & trainers. So sad to hear of the 3 who fell yesterday... Makes the chase of money sobering at times...
That's not certain Wooly although likely. Can't believe they're running Shaneshill in the RSA. He'd have a huge chance in the JLT but I doubt the trip will play to his strengths today.
Good, Good to Soft in places . It's pretty damn quick out there. Cole Harden tomorrow is a live opponent for Thistlecrack on this ground.
I'd agree with that, ground perfect for Friday if that happens. Amazing how quick it dries at Cheltenham. I have a rant for the weekend brewing btw.
Best thing about this week for the occasional punter like me is buying a newspaper without Donald Trump on the cover.
Fergal O'Brien is in tremendous form at the moment so I've had a small e/w nibble at his only runner at Cheltenham today, Pride Of Lecale for the Rooneys. 50/1 in a very open looking bumper.
If the Presbury cup ends up a draw they should make Nicholls and Elliot have a sprint off up the hill wearing mankinis as the decider.
