Thought a thread for picks for the festival would be good....two steering jobs that cannot get beat

Faugheen...champion hurdle...could win 5l

Douvan...another mullins novice beat a subsequent grade 1 winner 12l, then won on the snaff next time out...supreme novice i think

About 7/1 the double.

Come on Bonny I tipped up the monster on 29 April as being their champion hurdle horse.

What did you make of SS today?

Mixed feelings myself. Vets have suggested some blood in the nostrils - I reckon they'll draw stumps.

Never mind what Nicky Henderson says the look on his face told me everything when it crossed the line,there is no way that the horse would be anything but 100% fit,it was tenderly handled but was beaten easily,I have big doubts about it being able to battle now,I don't think the winner is champion chase class,I'm of the opinion sacre is hurting when he comes under pressure.

Had 3 anthe post bets pre christmas

Peace and Co - the Triump

And Vautour and Value at Risk in others.

SS is a dodgy one after its history and getting pulled last year, if the trainer was happy it suggest that he wasnt racing to win and probably just testing the water a little.

Saving grace for me is that with SS, Sire de Grugy, Captain Conan all on the comeback it is looking open.

I quite liked the look of Moscow Mannon last year, shame he can't jump...

Please please make a note for Zarkander in the world hurdle

P N thinks its his best chance very very sweet on him STD got him beat last time.

Will not make the same mistake.

Do not miss out lads

[HistoricWarwick]

Right then.

Here we go again.

Managed to get out of a losing rut just in time to lose my shirt this week.....

A few tips to date mentioned but anything strong for tomorrow?

The only horse I picked out last week was Very Wood in the 4m and thankfully they have reinstated it.

Everything else will be last minute although I am going to lay Un De Sceaux for a place as I think it will go too fast for the downhill fences on the old course - it either falls or wins by a long way.

Tempted to have an e/w Super Yankee on the first five races tomorrow.

Picked out these for no great reasons.

1.30 Jollyallan

2.05 Vibrato Valtat

2.40 Gallant Oscar

3.20 Hurricane Fly

4.00 Bitofapuzzle

Madness? Work a little for interest?

I always look to get short priced favourites beaten especially at Cheltenham

But there is something tempting about chucking a tenner treble on mullins tomorrow

All about even money or slightly odds against your looking at 100 quid return : )

Are my selections garbage?

I only bet on Cheltenham and I based those selections on the limited info on Bet365's app.

I'll have to have a little at least now. If they all came in I'd be livid if I hadn't!

This horse looks incredible mate

Do you think he will cope with the quicker ground

Could be some upsets though wbs

Ground no issue to him - Neptune was on ground like this. Ground and trip mean nothing to him. Remember he won a point to point over 3 miles, then beat Josses Hill by 30l in a bumper before his hurdling career. My mate backed him at 10s last March after they said Vautour would go novice chasing. By May he was 5/2.

My take on it is that Jezki and The Fly have been racing each other whilst the better horses have been over here. Jezki will finish in front of The Fly on this ground and I cannot see him out of the frame. However The New One will be tapped for toe at some point in the race and they will be stepping him up in trip after today to the Aintree Hurdle and then the World Hurdle next year is my guess.

I do think Henderson's horse will be totally different on today's ground and could reach the frame.

Douvan or lami serge in the first both different class

Barrakilla or pendra in the 2.40 have the best profiles in a race with lots of dead wood.
