Cheltenham Handicap Shortlists

[Viking Flagship]

Haven't followed this thread too much, but hoping Dortmund Park shows a little more today with softer ground. Has shown zero so far but if he shows a bit today, off 147 he could be interesting in a CC

Just noticed he's a NR which is a shame. Half wondered whether we might see him rock up in the Pertemps qualifier at Punchestown. He's yet to really show himself as a 3 miler but I'm sure he will be in the fullness of time. I'm also a little concerned that the 147 becomes 150+ when converted to a British mark and that would dampen enthusiasm. He's one to keep an eye on though because they must have thought he still had something to offer over hurdles.

Band Of Outlaws has a nice mark for the Fred Winter. Won with plenty in hand.

Ah sugar- didn't see that he's a NR

You could be right, although I thought the Triumph was still a possibility.....

Glenloe back out over 2m 5f tomorrow on route to the.....fill in the blank.....

Yep! Lovely timing should see them able to get the third and final run into him before the festival and lining up a short price fav for the Kim Muir

A 3rd run over what I'd consider an inadequate trip....

Music to my ears ... or eyes, when it happens

[SeanRock]

Keeping an eye on a couple of potentially underrated Skeleton runners tomorrow...

County Hurdle: Betameche
Martin Pipe: Not That Fuisse

Exactly what I expected and wanted there.

Could have jumped better (Glenloe) but I'm happy

He's going to get into the Kim Muir. I'm backing him now.

[jono]

Ideal run from Glenloe though, Topped up on him once again.

Once the market latches on he'll be single figures. Squouater went off 5/1Fav in the last 2 renewals of the Kim Muir. Expect Glenloe to be no bigger on the day, likely a little shorter

Also added a Derek O'Connor trixie :

Ok Corral 4 Miler
Glenloe Kim Muir
Stand Up and Fight Foxhunter

His jumping wasn’t great........

You like the green and gold as much as I do Jono

[Viking Flagship]

I like that Jono, on a similar theme I’ve just added a Gordy handicap EW trixie...

Glenloe
The Storyteller
Sire Du Berlais

It wasn't but he'll run once more before Cheltenham, hopefully over 2.5 miles. There'll be a huge improvement in march when stepped up in trip. My worry is that it's almost too obvious.
