Only 4 weeks to go Wiiiiiiii ..Got tickets for the Tuesday

I been sweet on Medermit for a while but this new championship race for novices has meant targets have been unclear which is fustrating. Missed the boat completely now - Think it will go off fav tbh. Nice bet Horner

FWIW I'm on the following:

RSA: Wymott EW @ 16/1
Ryan Air: Kalahari King EW @ 16/1
Albert Bartlet: Champion Court EW @ 12/1
World Hurdle: Grand Crus Win @ 11/4 (nrnb)
QM: Sizing Europe EW @ 18/1

Happy with them all, bar Champion Court who was disapointing last time, and may not run. Gran Crus not my normal type of AP bet but think its going to get smashed on the day so took nrnb price now.

Got my eye on plenty of others also

Fancy Recession Proof in the Supreme Nov, think there are grounds to take on the the market leaders in this race, and he travelled so strongly in the totesport and looked winner a long way out (wiii), that wil be a major plus in this race obv... Backed to win with the Cue Card concession with PP @ 10/1.

Also backed Day of a Lifetime @ 20/1 EW who I think could be a sneaky one for Mullins

8 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone ever been to one of those Cheltenham preview nights? I know a few guys that do the panel stuff but never been to one.

See Paul Nicholls put Big Buck's up as his best bet of the meeting? Awesome. Thanks fatty, would never have found that one.

lol..Last week Nicholls put up Masterminded as his best bet of the festival.

TBH, I'm very confused about the Grand crus hype...I just don't see it. But, on the plus side, Big Buck's is now out to an amazing 5-4 (with willy hill)

Grands Crus amazing progres this season. Reminds me of Master Oats the year he won the Gold Cup. He's not good enough to beat Big Buck's though imo.

Never been, but paid a tenner to get the reports from wetherbys... Most of it is pretty worthless, like your example above but you get the odd nugget. Can be good for getting early mention of running plans with all the multi entries also

Barracouda was a 10yr old that day and clearly past his best.

And drever was 5-1..a bit tastier than the 5-2 that on offer for Crus.

Not saying that Grand Crus can't win the race, I just don't see the appeal in him at all considering how ridic well Big Buck's is still going. Don't think there's any chance of Bucksie starting at odds against on the day.

FiveforThree looks pretty mad value EW in the without Big Bucks market at 8/1 with Hills (3 1/4). They will actually lay a bet for once at Cheltenham too.

Its as short as 10/1, has won at the festival before. Has been injured but won easily on his comeback and has been put away for this.

Quevega and Oscar Whisky won't run.

Struggling to see him out of the top 4 and could come 2nd if Grand Crus struggles with the ground and Mourad the track.

World Hurdle is much more competive race this year, 3 or 4 that have genuine chances of winning... Prob race of the week along with the CH imo
