      I went with Marsh because of Envoi, but it could equally be the RSA as the cream usually rises to the top.

      To be contrarian, I don’t look forward to the GC, because once it is over, there is only 3 races left and the atmosphere levels go down (especially when your bet of the week falls at the last in the 28th race!)

          Went with Supreme as it is the field I like to play mostly in during the season - novice hurdles. The bumper is also one of my favourite races as it's great seeing the best of the best unexposed horses both side of the sea coming up against eachother.

            The bumper?

            To me that's like people who get excited about sale values.

            Surely the point of seeing what's the next big thing is dwarfed by seeing the actual 'next big thing' be the 'next big thing'


            Also, I'd argue Cheltenham is NEVER the best unexposed horses clashing ... plenty of horses avoid this specific race.



            Might have to change your name from OverTheLast to "no point having a last cos I looooove bumpers"

                Each to their own, isn't it! I just feel i love seeing horses that have usually had maximum 3 or 4 runs take eachother on as we have still yet to see their potential and still quite a guessing game and you are punting a lot to your 'eye' and/or opinion rather than say a Gold Cup there we have seen each horse upwards of 10 times! Could sound stupid but we all love the game for different reasons and I can say I love watching a 2m novice hurdle a lot more than a lot of exposed horses!

                      I'm also not giving up on revenge of the Tiger

                      So, CC might be a race to enjoy

                      No sure 5-1 great price until we know fitness and plans.....but that was not Tiger at his best and on best ratings in race, they are a match
