Cheltenham 2021!

Afternoo stranger

Same as that, once I realised how chaotic 2020 was looking like. I just did almost nothing all year. That's even before you start with the madness of the last few weeks!

I've done a bit more the last month or so, and tried nipping a few in the handicaps now the weights are out.

[Marky147]

What a few days that has been for antepost books, and so glad I took the view I did last year 

[Marky147]

Really good preview here, with a great few interviews thrown in amongst the chat.

Tom Malone bit was especially good.

Upping The Ante one about to go live now, and Gavin Lynch is always worth a listen.

Live, but not as we know it

Caught out there, and had to add a little disclaimer 'recorded before the news'

Ha Brilliant.

If WH or others offer 6 places etc on the triumph again this year, but accompanied with short prices, remember that you can click the "SP" box and don't have to take the bad prices.  The industry SP should be competitive enough I would think.

[Marky147]

Great shout, and hopefully some deals about!

Almost there, and think I might hit the McMuffin express on Tuesday morning

[Karabiner]

Anyone paying six places in The Supreme yet?

Anyone paying six places in The Supreme yet?

Could be pretty grim for each way punters.  6 left in the Arkle, only 8 in the Supreme, which could be vulnerable ... 16 in the Ultima, so one out seems inevitable. 

The Boodles Fred Winter and the special offers in the National Hunt Chase could save us.

Was on Chacun at 10/1 last year and pulled out the day of Race, and now Altior this year

[Doobs]

No idea on the Champion chase, think I have swung between 5, it is a bit the same with the Champion Hurdle, where I might just wait and see the prices.

Backed Ballyadam fifth first 4 in the Supreme at the weekend, no idea what happens there.  I had a couple of each ways ready in the Arkle.

Would have been all over Royal Pagaillie tomorrow. 

Am thinking now that I might only have bets in 3 or 4 races tomorrow; come tomorrow, always a chance I go nuts.

[Marky147]

I wasn't even bothered, I had Altior @ 10/1 and was just going rail that.

Might back Greaneteen or something e/w w/o CPS.

I'm glad about RP going GC, as I've got Galvin in a treble with Honeysuckle & Jan Blachowicz (who won the other weekend).

I'll post my day 1 bets later on, as I'm probably done unless it abs belts down all night.

1pt @ 20/1 Thedevilscoachman         WH

Only benefit of not doing much before NRNB came in, is I've only lost 1pt on day 1 from non-runners.

Gutted they've gone Marsh with Blackbow, and equally gutted I didn't get the same price for him w/o Envoi Allen in the Marsh... Silly mistake.
