Handicap Shortlist - Cheltenham 2020

Glenloe at 12/1 interests me for the Kim Muir but hardly a left field selection
 
Will be keeping a close eye on Dame de Compagne. Ballyandy and Apples Shakira ran well in last years coral cup. So will be keen to see where they go. All over Carnadier for a handicap chase. Where ever Dallas des Pictons goes you’ll have to be interested.
 
Cepage if stepped up in trip.
Still think there's milage in West Approach as a handicapper.
Thomas Darby depending on where they go with him next.
 
What did people think to Ilikedwayurthinkin‘s run at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks back, in the same race in which Ciel De Neige ran. He was never competitive, hanging out the back. Might be one for the Martin Pipe?

I’m thinking the close brothers for canardier. I’ll wait until WH add him themselves because I’ll just get their usual 25/1 if I request it.
 
I’m keen to see where Early Doors ends up too. Think they’ll go down the handicap route again rather than a step into graded races
 
....surprised not seeing Lisp in the Close Brothers market given its on a £60k bonus if it wins any novice chase at the festival.

Finished his debut strongly over 2m6f having made mistakes early on, all but one in behind have won since and his jumping improved towards the business end of the race which is what you want to see for a horse potentially going further. I am keeping a close eye on him and Glenloe. Both will be found in the market though and Glenloe has already opened up at 12/1 for the Kim Muir, that price is only going to go south. I think Early Doors will be aimed at the NHC. JP has won the race 4 times and usually sends something here.

I could back him at 333/1, he could go off 5/6, and then trade 1.1 in running and he'd still find a way to get beat :)

Haha I feel bad for him! Goes well most of the time, looks to have a big chance then laps it if has a challenger(s) in the run in, needs to grow a set! But for place terms id happily take 33s! Might hold off see of can get bit bigger when other firms price it up

I mentioned it a few pages back for that very race - so I agree
 
If anyone wants to back singlefarmpayment, why not just donate the cash to a worthy cause rather than handing it straight to the bookies
