Yeah, come on get your tips out for the lads. I'm going to see what you have all gone for before I confirm my selection. I've only checked the 1st 4 races so far, will probs do the rest tomorrow... Beer needs to be drank!
On 2nd thoughts though, I might just ask the lady I work with, she picked some today for the fun, only because of the name and pulled out Lord Windermere @9/1 and Briar Hill at 16/1 ... MBN!!

Four candles Ratings for today, at least these are some horses I picked ante post?nrnb which are actually running and I fancy whereas yesterday just trying to find something.
iiii- Texas Jack 1.30 -10-1 - With the Irish having a good festival and this horse has already been backed from 20-1 into 10's on the back of Boston Bob and Lord Windermere's run today I am confident the form of its last run is very good.Also finished good third to Back In Focus. Never really put into race but wouldnt have won anyway. Beneffcient very underrated horse and won well.
iii - Champion Court 2.40 - 8-1 -Backed this most of season and not had its ground but still run some tremendous races. Haven't lost the faith and hope I haven't by tomorrow night. 4th behind Long Run, Grand Crus, Captain Chris and beat Riverside Theartre on ground it wouldnt have liked nor when second to Williams Wishes who if fit would have won which ever race it went for this festival. Didnt last the trip, just short of really good class
ii - According to Trev -2.05- 20-1 - This is a great value price for a horse who has course form over this trip and who hasnt had his ground for his last three runs. Even then he ran well behind Coneygree, a real mudlark. Not good enough.
i - Hunt Ball - 4.00- 6-1 -Another long term heart horse who has ran his heart out over trips to far in the hope of making his owners dreams/talk of a Gold Cup win come to fruition. Luckily Nony Knott has now seen sense and running back over his trip/ground today. Lets hope like Champion Court he gets his just deserts . Finished a brave fourth but in grip of handicapper

The reason I do more than 1 selection in competitive handicaps is because they are all given a weight by the handicapper to dead heath on the line,but it never works out that way,clever trainers run their horses to pick up a minimum weight, so you have to be canny as well as a punter!
2.05 Cheltenham Sam Winner 7/2 £12 win Close House 8/1 £5.50 win Top Of The Range 14/1 £3 win
£20.50 staked if winner, minimum return £45
This is a very difficult race,dreadful prices considering the number of runners,could easily pick 7/8 horses with a chance,not very confident,but as I am in front over the last 2 days,will have abet!
There's a jockey tomorrow who I fancy to have a right proper day, Davy Russell. Gonna do an e/w lucky 15 on 3 of his mounts, Stonemaster 2.05. First Lieutenant 2.40. Bog Warrior 3.20 and I'm sticking my nap in Frisco Depot 4.40. I also think his 1st mount has a serious ew chance Argocat 1.30. But can't back against Dynaste. If I'm right il be close to topping the fantasy jobby. If I'm wrong. . .'timber'.

I agree multiple single bets in races are a better way of making money than lots of multiples which hardly ever come up.
Hope your week keeps going strong mate and well done on your picks so far.

You have to fancy Ballnagour as well then mate. Just watched Warwick race . Frisco Depot jumped really well at distance too short.

Hi Terry
Yeah I do. But more often than not these hcp 'good things' always find one to beat them. And I'm worried about Mullins/Walsh mount. It says finished last tailed off in its last form line, but infact fell at the last when leading and remounted. Been kept fresh since then. That said wouldn't be least bit surprised to be saying 'what a *ick I am' when Pipe's hoses in.

dont no much about stonemaster but think bog warrior and first lietenat have great chances
CAPTAIN CONAN 1.30 JEWSON NOVICES. BOG WARRIOR -WORLD HURDLE-SAW THIS WIN VERY COMFORTABLY RECENTLY ON SKY CHANNELS.
JOESMAN,LIKE YOUR THINKING ON DAVY RUSSELL-SAW THE INTERVIEW YEATSRDAY,WHERE HE WAS WITH FERDY MURPHY FOR 2 YEARS,AND RIDING IN IRELAND.HE WAS OFFERED A NEW DEAL,BUT NO IRISH RIDING. HE RETURNED TO IRELAND -PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS HE'S EVER MADE. YOU MIGHT GUESS THAT I'M DEFINITELY NOT A FAN OF FERDY MURPHY.
I think Cue Card has a cracking chance in the Ryanair.
Put in a decent performance when beaten by Sprinter Sacre in lasts years arkle and had everything in behind well beaten. Has appreciated the step up in trip since then, most recently winning the betfair ascot chase well last time out. Goes well around Cheltenham, trip suits, ticks all the boxes for me and I think 4/1 is overpriced as this horse should be ahead of anything in the market. Although First Lieutenant's form is solid, the horse being incapable of getting his head in front on so many occasions is a big negative.
Riverside Theatre could be the danger if he puts those recent runs behind him and returns to the form he is capable of.
well so far small profits on both days today will either make or break my 4 days betting as i fancy dynaste sam winner first lieutenant and arabella boy all of which favs so as in profit will go with trebles and 4 folds as well as singles and hope that at least one win to keep me in profit for the week so far
