Early Cheltenham 2018 thread

[Winston Wolf]

After last weekends Champions Day at Ascot. the Rich man's poncy flat shite is as good as over now. so we get back to proper racing over Jumps and Hurdles.

The Charlie Hall at Wetherby is the first indicator of the new season and then before you know it's the open meeting at Cheltenham and then the Hennessy at Newbury.

So, instead of posting in last seasons thread. if you have any info, fancies or tips for this seasons Jump racing post them here.

[The Midnight Rambler]

I like Indian Castle in the 16.20 tomorrow at about 9/1. He always runs well at Cheltenham.

 

I've seen Cottersrock in the 15.10 getting tipped up. Currently 40/1 in places if you fancy a bit of a punt

[VladimirIlyich]

I actually don't mind the all weather personally,racing under floodlights has a bit of atmosphere about it. A simple rule of thumb with All Weather racing is to look for the US bred horses as they tend to do well on synthetic surfaces particularly maidens and nursery races.

Nichols is flying at the moment.

15.50 Warwick Smart getaway

 

Started off 100/1 as low as 10/1 now. Still available @40s

Follow Big River - it will win big this season

Ruby Walsh breaks his leg after a fall in a Hurdles race at Punchestown, likely to be out for up to 4 months, touch and go for the Festival.

Faugheen won the Morgiana Hurdle yesterday at a canter under Paul Townend. First time out since winning the irish Champion 21 months ago.

Obviously needs another stiff test in January in the same race, but given the dearth of real threats in this division, looks like he could come back and only have last years Champion Hurdler to beat.

Slate House won the Supreme Novices Trial yesterday at Cheltenham, one of Colin Tizzard's, and looked good doing it. The Supreme Novices at the Festival is always a hot race, but he could be one to watch.

Aye I backed Slate House at 2/1 was like printing money

[The Midnight Rambler]

Just over one week to go.

 

Anybody had a bet yet?

 

Done the old favourite acca of Getabird (supreme) Footpad (arkle) Buveur D'air (champion hurdle) Apples jade (mares hurdle) Samcro (BN hurdle) Altior (Champion chase) Un de Sceaux (Ryanair)

 

I like definitely red in gold cup.

[ZonkoVille77]

Main betsI've done so far, few more over the next week or so.

 

VVM each way in the mares at 7/1 nrnb.

 

Any Second Now, have him backed for the JLT 40/1 NRNB.

 

Presenting Percy in the RSA. Think he has the makings of a future Gold Cup winner. Also Black Corton e/w in the same race 12/1.

 

Menghli Khan e/w in the Supreme if he runs nrnb.

 

Also did a speculative e/w L31 for the following nags:

 

Special Tiara 14/1 E/W 1/5 Odds

I am too on the skybet and betway ones.

[Jairzinho]

Can't even access the fucking websites from here.

 

Properly missed the Cheltenham buzz this year.

Surprisingly Betway is still on my good list.

[Jairzinho]

Stuck with Betfred, which is absolutely wank.

[TheBitch]

I'm going on Tuesday, hope the ground hasn't been affected too much.

 

Got 14/1 on Getabird and Un de Sceaux double.

Sky bet works for me abroad. Also find some work when you’re not connected to WiFi

I think I'm about three years into a five year ban on Sky bet.

Sky are cunts.

[Jairzinho]

Just checked and I can't even access the fucking website anyway. 

[Fowlers God]

I have the Thursday and Friday off work next week and looking forward to it.

 

I’ve taken definitely Red at 16’s already and think the ground will suit.

Is Un De Sceaux still running?

I thought that I heard it was a non runner on the radio today.

No Fox Norton in Champion Chase/Ryan Air confirmed last week.

I'm not a betting man anymore, I used to be, but don't have the money, so it's just the sport for me.

 

Footpad in the Arkle looks a good thing.

Buveur D'Air in the Champion Hurdle looks just about the best bet of the meeting. Faugheen is two years off his best and even then he is up against it. My Tent or Yours is the e/w accy choice, he will be second for me.

I'm hoping Native River finds his best and a bit more in the Gold Cup, which is wide open this year.

Altior looked pretty special on his return and beats Douvan on all known form. Douvan was terrible last year, which allowed Special Tiara to win a very bad Champion Chase.

For me Sam Spinner wins the Stayers Hurdle on Thursday.

 

Max Dynamite for the Coral Cup, if he runs.

Modus for the JLT

Min for the Ryan Air

Theinval for the Grand Annual
