    Grade 1's in name only at Cheltenham then?
    Ryanair, Mares??? the winners, 2nd, of those races would have been the stars of this 2nd rate festival. That says it all.
    So you love the place, great, but don't let sentiment cloud your judgement.

      Doc is always right, I've learnt that now.....

      Although, I'm sure Midnight Tour wouldn't be the star of Aintree.

        You've really taken this hard haven't you!

            Mega.

            The plan for Altior is the JLT Melling Chase and we still have the option of Sandown. Aintree would be the perfect place to step him up to two and a half miles for the first time and I am rather looking forward to it and would like to step him up. He has put up two copybook performances in both his starts this season and let’s hope he can continue doing that.


            He is going to absolutely hack up.

              I couldn't resist the 2/1 and I'll be tempted to go on the Friday if he turns up.

              The Mildmay course is Good to soft, soft in places which would be perfect.

                I couldn't either. Was texting everyone I know (that'd be interested!)

                The ante post risk of him not turning up is not factored in to that price, considering it is the target.

                WIll be my biggest "single" of the season without a doubt.

                  5U on at 2/1

                  If it holds a little longer I’ve a decent chunk of money I’m
                  Owed being repaid the day before this race and I’ll be going in again on anything over evens


                  Made a big case in the CC thread that I think he will be better over 2.5 and I plan on putting my money where my mouth is

                    Smashed - best priced Evens. Thanks for flagging FM managed 2.5 points at 2/1. Would have had more but couldn't understand why the price hadn't been cut anywhere, despite the Henderson info coming out early eve. Is is because the bookies risk team don't work evenings?

                      I had a decent bet but also had a feeling that the price was too good to be true so didn't make it a max bet. He's surely a 1/2 shot at best if he turns up.

                            Hopefully backs up yesterday's comments.

                            I had 10 pts on
                            And a treble with BVD and MB at 6.07/1

                              Some cracking entries for Thursday.

                              Burning Ambition taken out of Foxhunters and some firms allow to react if you want the bigger prices on others

                                I have a feeling we may have done our money on Altior
