    Would he not be heading for the novice handicap chase on day one? I just assumed that would be his target.

      Agree, you currently get 3 places but there could easily be only 6/7 that line up, your 60/1 3 places would then look very smart.
      I might also consider the w/o Altior market

        Can’t even think about antepost on this race guys- to me it’s just a fun bet after the top races earlier in the day. Anyone else similar??

          Hope not FM as I'm on him for this race too. He looks an out an out two miler to me and considering he's never run over 2m4f, nor does he appear to want it, I personally can't see why they would step him up in the trip for the first time in the Novice Handicap?

            Unfortunately our handicapper has seen that OW was running a cracking race against Min.
            No harm done, but it's back to the drawing board.

              Pretty obvious bet based on the betting, but Theinval looks to have been laid out for this.

              Run his best race this season 2 runs back over 2m at Newbury, which wouldn't have suited as he's a good finisher over 2m and Newbury is a flat track, but still got up for a never nearer 3rd.

              2 of his other 3 runs this season have been over an inadequate trip, but both at Cheltenham, I presume to get his rating back down, and it worked, he's now back down to the same rating as last season, 141, and another year older.

              10/1 and favourite hardly required rocket science to put this one forward, but certainly one I am keen on having just started to make my way through the handicaps.

                It’s the worst kept secret in racing that he’s been laid out for this.

                I don’t play the handicaps at Cheltenham antepost but I like Theinval for sure.

                  Diego just looks more likely for a race at 2 miles to me, i havent heard connections say otherwise but with the NRNB and price of 20/1 I thought hes worth a go (1pt win), I think he will start nearer to 10/1 on day if he goes here.

                    Best form to me is over 2m on better ground and he's only 3 lbs higher now than last year.... looks like they've tried to get that down since Aintree too....

                    25/1 is best price now.... anyone interested?

                    1. Cloudy Dream - now rated 158
                    2. Theinval - now rated 141
                    3. Oldgrangewood - now rated 148
                    4. Clan des Obeaux - now rated 155
                    PU. Flying Angel - now rated 152

                    I liked the 2nd behind Double W's as well, that you'd put up for the Close Brothers I think? Or was it for Aintree afterwards when he won?

                    Theinval highlighted by Cashew King a earlier on... certainly a good shout IMO, and is my only bet in the race so far.

                      I think it was interesting that Henderson took Thienval for a gallop yesterday with Bouvier Dair and Might Bite. Theinvals price has been noticeably contracting in the last few days. Henderson has an emotional connection with this race so it might be prudent to follow the advice of Comply and add Thienval to your portfolio's.

                          Just posting this as a reminder to myself to look tomorrow but North Hill Harvey has been mentioned as being under consideration for this race and my first instinct is that 20/1 NRNB is too big based on his course form alone.

                          Will edit this tomorrow***

                            Its Bun Doran for me in this one. Just got to prey he puts in a prefect round, but positive he is capable of winning a big one.

                                He certainly needs more than I hoped to come out dr.
