winning day for me... which is always a good thing after day one of cheltenham!!!

Just had a good go on Menorah in the Ryanair on Thursday.
Done it ew at 8's. (8 runners).
Just hope it can put in a decent round of jumping and it won't be far away.

Cheltenham day 2 passes a precautionary inspection. Good to Soft (Soft in places).

Back In Focus (John Oaksey NH Chase), Pont Alexandre (Neptune Hurdle) & Unioniste (RSA Chase) are todays fancies.

Sprinter Sacre (Queen Mother Champion Chase) is simply for watching.

Day 2

the new one/taquin du seuil
unioniste
sprinter sacre
bordoni
regal encore/union dues/the liquidator

I fully expect the Irish to take the Champion Bumper with Union Dues and Golantilla boasting strong credentials. Preference for the former given the stables record in the race and continuing form at the meeting.

Pont Alexandre
Unioniste
Abbey Lane
Saphir Du Rheu

Also SS part of my treble i put on months ago, Oscar Whiskey to finish it off tomorrow fingers crossed.

Back in Focus & Emperior's Choice E/W
Pont Alexandre
Unioniste
Sprinter Sacre
Pendra E/W
Bordoni E/W
Vieux Lion Rouge E/W

Back in Focus wins the first. Would have been a close one if Rival D'Estruvel didn't fall.

Indeed, rather played into the hands of Back in Focus but who am i to complain

Pont Alexandre next pretty please

Ditto on the PA

The new one!!! awesome turn of foot! love the horse...

Unioniste really struggled, Boston Bob would have walked it should he not have fell.

Sprinter Sacre is an absolute freak of a horse.

I had a correct forecast and tricast in that race, will I win much?

no.

sprinter sacre machine... thanks coral for the £20

Credit Sizing Europe for keeping on after a bad stumble on the bend. Sprinter Sacre pure class!

Oh.

At least I had the Coral offer on too then.

They did with Walsh & Mullins combining for a 25/1 winner

another winning day for me ! mainly due to the new one who i went big on. and frontier fighter at southwell.

corals website has bust!! anyone got theire £20 out of them yet??????! cant even log in

day 3

dynaste
captain sunshine
first liuetenant
oscar whisky
cantlow
super duty

yday yielded a profit again thankfully. sprinter got all my antepost slips up as well as completing the four timer i had on with simonsig, fly and quevega. was torturous watching it, my stomach was up and down like a barrier at a car park.

meister eckhart yielded a small ew return but nothing else to shout about.


todays selections are

captain conan ew, dynaste has been good all winter but at the odds id rather take him on and hope conan is in the front three and possibly has too much toe

jetson ew (robbie power been crowing about this one at the preview nights), top of the range ew sneaks in on a nice weight and striking while the iron is hot

first lieutenant win, menorah ew. i just get the inkling menorah has a big race in him if it all comes together for him on good ground, if his jumping can be ironed out that looks the case. i expect first lieu to scorch past cue card up the hill however

oscar whisky has the ground drying for him and he is geraghty's nap of the week. peddlers cross and bog warrior, pick one ew as both are capable of hitting the frame. think reve de siv will certainly be placed but think he may be vulnerable for win purposes if one of the potential non-stayers actually does stay. but he's not quite juicy enough odds to be an ew interest considering its just the place im interested in.

divers has been aimed at this all year and should have a big ew chance. cantlow has been messed about all year and could be very well in, another ew consideration

prince of pirates has a good ew chance, hendo thinks the race will suit and has a very useful claimer on board. frisco depot hasnt quite lived up to expectations since moving to longsdons yard but has a fine ew shout here imo, not too much weight.

leac an scail would be my novelty ew selection in the gimmick race

backed captain conan to win this

Cue Card (Ryanair), Reve De Sivola (World Hurdle) & Super Duty (Walwyn / Muir Challenge Cup).

At bigger prices ...

Top Of The Range & Captain Sunshine (Pertemps Final).
Vino Griego & Divers (Byrne Group Plate).

Note to oneself.

Do not spunk anymore money on this beast.
Excellent over hurdles dogturd over the bigger obstacles.
Nicholls to go through meeting without a winner?
