Cheltenham 2020 - Forum Yankee - March

[Middle_Of_March]

Paisley Park - 4/1 for the Stayers Hurdle
Tiger Roll - 5/2 for the Cross Country
Altior - 3/1 for the Champion Chase
Samcro - 16/1 for the JLT
Klassical Dream - 16/1 for the Arkle


They’re my five early suggestions.

Any others?

[Istabraq]

Buveur D’Air, will only be going to the champion hurdle and connections out to prove their confidence for this years race was not misplaced, I’ve sen some 7/1...

[Hurricane fly]

Klassical Dream - 16/1 for the Supreme

Any others?

An unprecedented double!

Quite like Cilaos Emery or Le Richebourg for the QMCC at 20/1 e/w

Delta Work is as big as 33/1 for the GC, give no he lost his length being squeezed at the last of day he’s much too big aswell

Ha - edited that now.

Allaho 20/1 rsa
Also has anyone seen any prices for douvan for next year? He'll still be only 10 year old

[CJW]

Where's KLASSICAL DREAM 16/1 for the arkle?

[lloydy]

A Plus Tard in the Ryanair 20-1

Buveur D'air in the champion would be my selection at 8/1. Still only 9 at next year's festival, he isn't over the hill yet.

More 5 year olds have won the CH than 9 year olds ....

Heard that on RP today

We KNOW how rubbish the 5yo's are.



Living in the past you two

Espoir D'allen would get my vote over Buveur D'old

[Kevloaf]

Also, there is ONLY Katchit as a 5yo winner of the CH that DIDN'T go on to be a multiple winner.


Doesn't always pay to go beyond the obvious

[Kevloaf]

Altior isn't a good bet IMO at 3/1 when we aren't CERTAIN about the target.


I understand why it's likely he goes for a 3rd CH, but he's not going to have an 'ideal' 2 mile chaser prep for it next year, 3/1 isn't good value.

[Kevloaf]

Defi Du Seuil doesn't have a whole lot of negatives.

Double figure price (10/1) - the obvious target. The target the trainer mentioned.

Two time festival winner (notably on the 'new' course)

Frodon to beat... pfft.

Altior isn’t giving up a third championship for a Ryanair and whilst I have always been a huge fan of the horse even I can’t make a case for a Gold Cup tilt, so if he’s fit and well come March 2020 I can only see him heading for one race

I know he isn't going for the Ryanair...

but if wins the King George, do they rule out a Gold Cup?

If he doesn't wina King George, he looks a helluva lot more vulnerable than he did before he ran?




You can't make a case for a Gold Cup tilt? You cannot make a case?
He's being aimed at the King George Ista. It's hardly a leap of faith is it.... if he wins that like the stayer we all think he is, then it surely becomes an option?
