Cheltenham....

['bout now]

Thank you Sprinter Sacre, thank you.

[Mick Mac]

The Budget today so first bet was the 4pm.

Won Diego at 8/1. Four winners in two days. Next up is New to the Town.

[red devil]

Broadband went down, probably a good thing!...

[????]

4 bets - Two 10/1 winners today - and two 2nds which means money back in account with Paddy - so tow free bets for tomorrow's selection. Big profit today - 2/2 in profit :) and my main bets tomorrow covered.

This is a post from last year. Loved Sprinter Sacre in the past and having just watched it win today on highlights, in amazing style I wish I had seen it today but was too busy at work.

[Mick Mac]

Black Hercules in the opener makes it 5 winners.

nothing since.

Thistlecrack and hedge on Cole Harden in the 3.30.

[????]

Really busy at work yesterday but had Thislecrack with one of my two free bets, lost my other one and then a loser in the 2nd last but 3/3 profitable days :)

[????]

I've done Don Poli in the GC and Squouater in the 16.50

[red devil]

Lucky 15 EW...

2.50 Gangster

3.30 Djakadam

4.10 Twirling Magnet

Be lucky!...

Friend of friend is an amateur tipster - here goes

Right we?re off again ? another good year last year ? lets keep at it

Plenty of good bets landed last year many bankers obliged all week

This year it?s a very different festival ? so many injuries and a list of stars missing...

It has made all the markets a lot more open if lacking in some quality.

Due to that I will not be afraid of big prices this week ? may be playing a bit more each way then usual and less Bankers I think

I will often back two in some races esp hcaps instead of going each way

I have mentioned a lot more horses below but later in week I cannot be sure of fields and this should at least be a guide

Horses put up below but many of races not filled as this time and during the week things will change and I will play other horses. The horses with *** are good bets though I am interested in and will be running in their races. Also the ones for multiples for the week.

Day 1 Tuesday

Supreme novices

A really open renewal of the race and all the talk has been the extremely lightly raced Melon. He will need to be exceptional to win it on day given only had one run. I may get involved in the hype on the day but I am putting forward his stable mate Bunk off Early a solid bet against the fav both of whom should love the drying ground

Bets

Bunk off Early

Arkle

Altior is unopposable

Watch ? in betting w?out market Cloudy Dream a small interest

Ultima chase

First big hcap of the meeting, I want to have Alan King by my side all week in hcaps

Label Des Obeaux is one I want to be with also playing Singlefarmpayment the likely favourite

Others to look out for is Kruzlinen last years pick at a big price, Caid Du Berlais another to look at in market.

Bets

Label Des Obeaux ew

Singlefarmpayment ew

Champion Hurdle

A poor renewal ? injuries to the ante post favourites have weakened this race to the extent that even the New One could have a chance. I am going with the improving hcapper who should love the better ground ? Brain Power he is a solid ew

Bets

Brain Power ew

Mares

Limini is short here following Ruby choosing her over Vroum Vroum Mag

I am going to oppose them both with two small bets Apples Jade and Lifeboat Mona

Bets

Apples Jade win

Lifeboat Mona ew

4 miler

Whatever Codd and Derek Oc ride here is significant. But again I am looking elsewhere Champers On Ice a good bet to take on Genie in a bottle and Edwulf. Martello Tower also worth a small interest.

Bets

Champers on Ice ew

Close bros chase

A tough hcap to finish many in with a shout, my two against the field both ran well last year at the festival Itsafreebee and

Bets

Itsafreebee ew

Foxtail Hill win

Day 2 Wednesday

Day 1 over and we?ve got through it without a single *** bet lets correct that immediately in race that has been good to us

Neptune

Neon Wolf is a real x factor here in the Neptune one of the banker bets of the week get on. Barcardys can chase him home for Willie

Bets

Neon Wolf ***

RSA Chase

Not a race I have warmed to all year Our Kaempfer interesting if turns up here. As the ground has gone good it may suit Alpha des Obeaux

Bets

Our Kampfer ew

Coral Cup

Diamond King gave us a cracking win in this last year. This year Gordon has Tombstone and he should not be far away. Two others to look out for our Harry Frys Air Horse One and a tough little horse who if gets to the bottom of hill in touch will not be far away River Frost for Alan King

Bets

Tombstone if rolling

Ew

Air Horse One

River Frost

I will be playing exactas here

Queen Mother

Douvan unopposable will win. Wout market does not interest me

Cross Country

This should be between the top two in the betting Cantlow and Cause of Causes

Maybe exacta them up including Quantitativeeasing

Bets

Cause of Causes

Fred Winter

Project Bluebook for JP I want to be with here, he was given a poor ride previous outing which probably kept him the ratings for this race. Also look out for Tony Martin gamble on Long Call maybe worth getting involved. Paul Nicholls has a great record so look out for his.

Bets

Project Bluebook ew

Long Call win saver

Bumper

The vibes about the favourite are weak here I am going to split my bet between Someday who impressed me at Leopardstown and Western Ryder who is a solid experienced runner.

Bets

Someday

Western Ryder

Day 3 Thursday

JLT

Yorkhill? it may not be pretty to watch as this horse takes some hold n his races but he is simply a monster I cannot oppose him

Bets

Yorkhill ***

Pertemps

Presenting Percy has been lumped with a lot of weight here but the way he won his last race he just may carry it. Impulsive Star is solid and For Good Measure has the course form.

Bets

Presenting Percy win

Win savers on

Impulsive star

For Good Measure

Ryanair Chase

Jossies Hill interests me here against the two favourites, which of the two I prefer Empire of Dirt. But there is a better bet in a previous winner Uxizandre he can win it

Bets

Uxizandre ***

World Hurdle

Youknowhatimeanharry get on

Bets

Youknowhatimeanharry ***

Plate

Diamond King gave us a great turn last year, he can follow up over fences here though not as strong as last year on it. Caid Du Berlais can be in the mix too.

Bets

Diamond King win

Baron Alco ew

Mares Novice Hurdle

Lets Dance will win if goes. She may turn up in Neptune though and would run well. Forge Meadow a solid ew against her. Coillte Lass also worth a look.

Bets

Lets Dance if here ***

Forge Meadow ew

Kim Muir

Tough hcap look out for the good jocks two to look at are Mall Dini and Southfield Royale

Bets

Split stake

Mall Dini

Southfield Royale

Day 4 Friday

Triumph hurdle

I want to take in the favourite here and especially if the ground is good by now.

Go with last years connections to do it again. Landofhopeandglory

Bets

Landofhopeandglory ew ***

County Hurdle

Tough to know field aa few to look out for Diego Du Charmil and Winter Escape

Bets

Diego Du Charmil ew

Winter Escape ew

Albert Bartlett

Death Duty *** BANKER for Gordon. Wholestone can chase him home and is a solid ew.

Bets

Death Duty ***

Gold Cup

A far weaker contest than last year would love Djakadam to do it for Willie at last and of the top of market probably most solid. Champagne West is taken to maybe sneak a place. Cue Card could be the talent.

Bets

Champagne West ew

Foxhunters

On the Fringe an ATM

Bets

On the Fringe

Martin Pipe

two to go lets hope we are not reaching but finishing them

Back Tin Soldier he?s made for this

Bets

Tin Soldier ***

Grand Annual

Very tough look out for Rock the World who had a wind op. Le Prezien if lines up. Dandridge been laid out. Red Spinner big ew.

Bets

Exacta box above

Gluck

[teddyboy23]

Champion hurdle.the new one solid e/w bet at 14-1.proven on this course.unlucky not to have won this.couple of years back.shall back him to win.getting on a bit but still classy enough to win this

Just bouncing these tips as they immediately lapsed to a previous page.

[red devil]

I wonder why?!..:)

[red devil]

Perhaps on a daily basis?...

[????]

I've dine a few of them Mick..

BunkOffEarly

Label de Obeauxx & Singleformpayment

Brianpower

[Mick Mac]

Got the champion hurdle winner at 5/1. nothing else.

[Mick Mac]

And got the next Apple Jade - as per tipster above.

Two wins in a row - never happens. Small bets these days though.

Arpege Darlene in the 4.50 for the hat trick (and bigbadjohn for a place)

[Mick Mac]

No good - and so it will be Tully East in the last at 5.30

[Mick Mac]

Woohoo. I was at a seminar, and just came out to find that one won too. :) three wins in a day. Nice

[TE44]

I done a lucky 31 each way (5 horses) for 10p,

Ordinary world, noble endeavour,my tent or yours

and power bomb. Bigbadjohn let me down for 5 placers. Still a good return on my ?6.20 bet.

[Mick Mac]

Loser in the opener.

Next im going for Acapella in the 2.10

[????]

After a couple of pretty poor days - I've decided to follow your mates tips today Mick....I won't blame you if it goes bad (too much) :)

[red devil]

I'm even for the week so far...haven't had any bets :)

[Mick Mac]

No winners yesterday, but Tuesday was good so am up even after deducting today's bets, already placed - so going into tomorrow will be up.

Tomorrow will be messy and expensive but at least this year I haven't lost a fortune before I set off!

[????]

huzzah - a winner
