another big big plus for chances of THE DRUIDS NEPHEW in the Pultney novices, had this one on the radar for the Byrne Plate until couple of weeks ago was apparent this was the target as only entry.
Last weekend Grandioso franked his form when beating the 152 rated Molotof at kempton, THE DRUIDS NEPHEW previously had Nicholls' charge 10 lengths behind in his first chase victory. He also had TONY STAR well beaten when falling and this one ran a blinder today in the Greatwood, even adjusting well to being badly hampered by Petit Robin's fall and stayed on gamely for third. KAPGA DE CERISEY had also beaten the well touted FAGO last week and THE DRUIDS NEPHEW had this one well behind on previous run, as well as highly progressive ROLLING ACES when just pipped at line by Feltham runner up and dark horse for RSA HARDIANS APPROACH over a slightly shorter distance of 2m3f. All in all i think the form is stacking up and still a best priced 14/1 in the magic sign should be snapped up, think hes a terrific e/w bet and will be my NAP for day 1, possibly the meeting.
did a first day multiple today, quite excited about it's chances as this early stage!!! hope im still as excited a week and a half away!!! : o
SUPREME NOV MELODIC RENDEVOUS 10/1
JLT HANDICAP CANTLOW 10/1
X COUNTRY ARABELLA BOY 6/1
PULTNEY THE DRUIDS NEPHEW 14/1
6 X £2 DOUBLES , and Have also thrown in ROCK ON RUBY in the champion @ 6/1 in 10 x £1 trebles, 5 x £1 e/w 4 folds and £1 e/w accum!!! i can dream........
Maybe its wrong to post this on a rival firms forum lol..But Billy hills go 3/1!!!!! non runner money back on Hurricane Fly tomorrow morning, im a massive Hurricane Fly fan and will be taking advantage of this beautiful price..

EVERY bookmaker is out to get The Fly beaten, esp P Power with their money back offer. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a problem. Sticking to my theory that Zarkander CANNOT be out of the 1st three, so a bet to nothing.

ah thats more lyk it, 13/8 far to short, 3/1 is a more realistic price in my book.
my mates whos a pro gambler has started putting some up i will copy and paste his posts.. Ok time to get serious about Cheltenham, as it's less than 2 weeks away. And with the bookies starting to go non-runner, no bet, there look to be a few opportunities around to pinch some value.
First selection is for the World Hurdle, which now looks wide open.
Ladbrokes World Hurdle Grade 1 (CLASS 1) (4yo+) - Thursday 14th March 2013:
Selection:Wonderful Charm - 1 pt e/w at 25/1 (Betvictor NRNB)
With Big Bucks and Tidal Bay injured Paul Nicholls stands to lose his grip on this race for the first time in recent seasons. He still has four contenders entered, Aaim To Prosper, Celestial Halo, Prospect Wells and Wonderful Charm. Aaim To Prosper will probably improve for the longer trip but he is likely to still come up short. Prospect Wells is more likely to pitch up at Aintree and, even if he does run at Cheltenham, it's not his favourite track. Celestial Halo is probably the stable's number one selection for this race now and, despite advancing years, still retains plenty of ability. He is now nine years old and it begs the question why he has never been tried over three miles before. That leaves Wonderful Charm who is also entered for the Coral Cup and heads that market. That looks likely to be his target but his Trainer did jokingly give reference to 'the next Big Bucks' when talking to his owner after the horse's win on his debut in this country. Whatever race Wonderful Charm goes for he has to bust the stats in either. No five year old has ever won the World Hurdle and no horse rated above 147 has won the Coral Cup. That all probably means that his best days will come at future Festivals but with the Non Runner No Bet concession now in place it's a selection to nothing. Wonderful Charm was a progressive horse on very soft/heavy ground in France but improved on that form on his only appearance in this country under quicker conditions. That easy win at Chepstow is way below the level of performance he needs to win this but it's noticeable that his handler has kept him away from the track since that October start. He may well be scratched from both races but he does have a lot of untapped potential and if he lines up for the World he could outrun his odds. If he doesn't, we get our money back and I would be tempted to support him in the Coral if he goes for that.
think RENARD could go v well at 40/1 in the Byrne plate which Venetia Williams has a wonderful recent record in, and after initially liking the claims of Eastlake in the ' get out stakes ' Grand annual, ive been equally drawn to course winner LANCETTO who was 3rd behind Jonjo Oneills charge last time out and runs off same weight while the winner has been upped 7Ibs.
it looks like grand crus is going for the world hurdle. i have give up on this horse over fences, lost to much on it. geraghty says its in good order at home though so i think its a real good chance back over hurdles. anyone agree???

Hi mate,
not lookinbg for a clash here but surprised if geraghty knows anything about it. Trained by Pipe and ridden by Scudamore.
Pipes are not idiots though so a very interesting developement. Without Big Bucks this looks like one of the most interwsting races of the festival

lol i ment scudamore, i got geraghty on the brain. grand crus ran brilliant against big bucks 2 year ago, if it runs any where near that i think it will take all the beating. hard to be confident with it after its dismal dispaly over fences lately but im gonna be on i think!!

I wouldnt disagree with your thinking and might have a saver myself as I am already on Reve De Sivola. If it can return to its hurdles form it must have a great chance.

You all thought I was a fool when I * starred Grand Crus for the Ten To Follow contest. Obv I knew Big Bucks was gonna get injured and Grand Crus would win the world hurdle at a big price and bag a load of bonus points. Hmmmm why did I also put Big Bucks in my list too??? Lol
When will all the runners and riders be confirmed for the festival? Each race shows loads of horses in, but I know a lot of these will not run, I just don't know when that's generally decided... I want to pick some winners but I can't wade through a load of non-runners lol
