How are you feeling about the festival?
Strangely not as excited as usual, it was still the first week I booked off work but I think mainly because at the moment I have no plans to actually attend (although that will no doubt change and will go at least one day) for the first time in a few years and also the jumps season itself just hasn’t seemed as exciting so far
How do you feel your current positions are stacking up?
About average; a few decent prices and at the moment none of them out injured which is the main thing but there’s plenty time for that!
Where are you strong?
Potentially the Ballymore; had a spell of doing a lot of doubles on an antepost horse plus Envoi Allen, if any of them won on the Tuesday or if he wins on the Wednesday will be potential there for a lot of decent returns
Where are you weak?
Potentially the Ballymore if Envoi doesn’t make the festival or they shoot for the stars and go Champion Hurdle!! Other than that usually try and get some decent runners on the Tuesday as it’s a day I usually attend; this year don’t really have anything in the Supreme unless Shiskin bolts up today or Fly Smart eventually appears and the Arkle is very similar unless Melon goes for it which it sounds very much like he won’t
Anything you’ve done differently?
Tried to do a few more cross sport doubles this year I.e on a Saturday instead of having 2pts on a football team I have 1pt win and 1pt double with a Cheltenham horse, has worked reasonably well to be honest, something to look at even more from the summer onwards next year with cricket bets probably
How will you be watching?
At the moment in the pub all 4 days but if Envoi Allen is a confirmed runner on the Wednesday will probably at least do a day trip then. Group of friends going on the Thursday so potentially then as well but it’s my least favourite day
