    Samcro isn't in the AB. Maybe that's why.

    How short a horse is, is relative to their chance, not which race they'll run in.

    I'd personally really REALLY like him in the AB based on how he grinds it out and seems to find for pressure ... but then again Barters Hill looked the same and he's better at the middle trip.

      I did listen to the KB interview and he was a bit sketchy. My take (samcro/or no samcro) is that he'd be better suited in the AB, although it would have a bearing. I've 33s AB so might be a tad biased.

        Said it would maybe go to the Ballymore, as they had Red River for the 3m race.
        Yeah the mentioned saving him for Aintree as far as i can remember.

          Sorry Doctor only just seen this. You've probably seen Jono's quotes from the trainer by now on the Ballymore thread but just wanted to clarify my comment. I know of one of the owners (haven't seen him in donkey's years) but he is in touch with my best mate who I will be going to the Festival with. From what I have been told I don't think there is any doubt they are heading for the Ballymore and are very confident of a big run (although sure all trainers/owners say stuff like that). As mentioned on the Ballymore thread I backed him at the weekend (just 1 point) in the without Samcro market at 12s with BFSB (can get 10s NRNB with PP) and am looking for a decent top up the moment I am really confident Next Destination is not going for the same race, assuming double figures are still available.

                      Has some preview night coverage..
                      #COTR Handicap Bet of the Week
                      Pricewise: Hunters Call - County Hurdle
                      Kealy: Ivanovich Gorbatov - County Hurdle
                      Jennings - Don’t Touch It - Grand Annual

                      #COTR NAP of the Week
                      Pricewise: Hunters Call - Any Race
                      Kealy: Mr Whittaker - Brown Plate
                      Jennings - Balko Des Flos - Ryanair

                      #COTR To the Gold Cup and there is shock to see @WilliamHill have gone 9/2 about Might Bite. Kealy also likes Lexus winner Road To Respext. Pricewise big on Our Duke, and likes 50/1 shot Anibale Fly. DJ compares RTR to Denman, but questions ground.

                      #COTR In the Albert Bartlett, Santini is NAPed by #ScouseOnTheSofa and Pricewise couldn’t agree more. PK gives us the stat that most exposed horse wins, so lands on big priced Callet Mad.

                      #COTR For the Stayers, the #ScouseOnTheSofa woofs as DJ puts up LAmi Serge. PK likes Apples Jade, and Segal has info that Penhill could be the steamer of the festival.

                      #COTR Thursday closes with David Jennings napping Larina as shortest price SP of the festival. Fully East in the Brown Plate for DJ. PK likes Mr Whittaker in the Brown Plate, whilst Pricewise has Sort It Out in the Pertemps.

                      #COTR PK loves Waiting Patiently for the Ryanair, and agrees with Pricewise that Balko Des Flos is a fair bet. Jennings also a Balko Des Flos, goes off 9/2 in his mind.

                      #COTR Day 3 up now. PK suggests Finians Oscar is the bet in the JLT despite worries. Pricewise puts up Modus and Monalee NRMB. DJ on Modus also.

                      #COTR Paul Kealy likes Diese Des Bieffes in whatever he ends up in, be it Coral Cup or Martin Pipe. Segal sure Hunters Call wins his race. DJ likes Oxford Blue in the Fred Winter @33/1, Cause of Causes on the XCountey.

                      #COTR Kealy likes Rhinestone to overturn Blackboe form, also puts word in for Holographic, who has support from Jennings.

                      #COTR Panel can’t get away from Altior for the QMCC. That was easy.

                      #COTR In the RSA, Pricewise shades Black Corton and Monalee (goes to JLT allegedly). Shattered Love and Mias Storm at the prices for Segal. DJ likes the fav once more, also Ballyoptic at a price.

                      #COTR Day 2 now. Opposition to Samcro in the Ballymore given the price from PK and Pricewise. DJ believes the beast to be a special animal, sure it wins, deserving of current price. Vision Des Flos suggested as a big price chance.

                      #COTR Burning Ambition the NAP of the week for Day One guest from @bet365’s Pat Cooney. #ScouseOnTheSofa makes his first appearance, naps Rather Be in the Close Bros.

                      To wrap up Tuesday, Pricewise likes Mias Storm and Coo Star Sivola for the Ultima. PK very confident on CSS also, then suggests Barney Dwan the play in the novice chase. DJ likes Dounikos for the 4 miler, De Plotting Shed in the novice chase.

                      #COTR In the Mares, Lets Dance given to us as dirty ew. BDD the selection of Pricewise at the price.

                      #COTR All agree Buveur D’Air wins the CH. Wicklow Brave and Mick Jazz put up W/O Fav. MTOY also a fancy without.

                      #COTR Opposition to Arkle favourite Footpad, ‘worst price at festival.’ PK likes the next three in, focussed on Sceau Royal ew. DJ ❤️ Brian Power, much to consternation of panel. Pricewise puts up Saint Calvados based on Warwick run.

                      #COTR Surpeme starts us off. All shading Mengli Khan, and like Kalashnikov a lot. Concerns over Getabord given price and ground. DJ likes Sharjah and Paloma Blue at a price.

                        Cheltenham Preview night , location : Larry Tomkins Bar Cork City

                        Sorry folks that this years into up to last year’s but a combination of ManFlu and ‘The Beast From The East' made it a bit of a stretch to make it to Larry’s tonight. But we weren’t dis-appointed AGAIN this year

                        The panel tonight were Tony Mullins (TM) , Enda Bolger (EB) and Charlie Swan (CS) with the excellent MC Joe Seward and special guest from an Tusail O’Chonaill Un De Sceaux owner

                        Supreme Novices :
                        TM: Fancies Getabird thinks Kalashnikov got an exceptional ride last time out
                        CS : Likes Kalashnikov and refers to Make A Stand who won like he did and won a Champion hurdle.
                        EB : A big fan of Getabird

                        Arkle :
                        TM : Prefers Petit Mouchoir, says Willie is aiming Footpad at the Gold Cup and this is just a stepping stone
                        CS : Likes Brain Power each-way ,thinks he’d be a Paul Carberry type of ride
                        EB : Loves the grey horse - Petit Mouchoir

                        Champion Hurdle
                        CS : Buveur Dair for him, Faugheen not at its best
                        TM : After finishing second to Supasundae Tony was happy enough but coming off the track, i.e. the immediate response from Willie was that he’d have to find a bit.
                        EB : Nothing beats Buveur Dair

                        Mares Hurdle
                        Apples Jade could run in a Champion hurdle, penalty kick for the whole panel

                        NH Chase
                        Surprise they took this one in , interesting
                        TM & EB love fest for Mall Dini
                        CS : Watch out for Shattered Love that gets all the allowances

                        Ballymore
                        No love for Gigginstoown hard to judge
                        TM : Needs to see more from Samcro
                        EB : Bombproof Samcro
                        CS : Samcro banker

                        Tony Mullins then went off on one of his many tangents whereby he said that Ruby said that Next Destination beats them all

                        Champion Chase
                        TM : Douvan the best horse in training at the moment, if it shows up wins by a fence
                        CS : Likes the way Min has learned to settle
                        EB : Thinks a negative for Min re the hill

                        RSA

                        EB : Hard race for Presenting Percy last time out. Noel Fehily loves Monalee

                        Ryanair Chase
                        TM : Un De Sceaux best horse he’s seen in 30 years - hyperbole alert!!
                        Colm O’Connell : No bet if under 6/4, loves the horse but gives a mention to Balko De Flos (Man owes us nothing !!!!!)
                        On a side note thinks his other horse Bacchasson goes for either the Melling Chase or the Galway Plate
                        EB : Un De Sceaux is a phenonemon thats not finished yet
                        CS : Un De Sceaux as long as the ground is in its favour.

                        Albert Bartlett
                        No-one had an opinion on this just how horrible it was for Bryan Cooper to get the public dressing down from Michael O’Leary calling him an imbecile after last years race where he unseated on Death Duty!!!!

                          Great job Theporge! Nothing worse than 'man flu"! Thanks for making the effort. Strange comment re Charles Byrnes horse: he only had one horse (Hareth) entered at Cheltenham (Pertemps) and he isn't qualified. Also good to see the support for Bryan Cooper- would love to see him bounce back.

                                The betfair preview is usually a good one in terms of them doing price pushes. They did 1 per day last season up to a max of £50. Getabird or Footpad has to be the day1 push.

                                It's worth getting your account(s) topped up.
