These were put up in Irish Indo as lays ..think I backed 8/10. Just need to add the tullow tank and DB now :highly_amused:
10 horses to lay next week
1. Sprinter Sacre (Queen Mother, Wednesday): Odds: 5/2
Wind problems and bleed issues make this horse, who was once the toast of jump racing, unbackable despite positive reports from Nicky Henderson and Barry Geraghty.
2. Hurricane Fly (Champion Hurdle, Tuesday): Odds: 8/1
His form is arguably as good now as it has been at any point in his career but the forecasted good ground should put pay to the 11-year-old's chances.
3. Djakadam (Gold Cup, Friday): Odds: 9/1
On His Own won the Thyestes last year and was narrowly touched off in the Gold Cup but I don't expect Djakadam to repeat the feat. It was a poor Thyestes this year.
4. The Game Changer (County Hurdle, Friday) Odds: 12/1
There has been loads of ante-post support for this guy but I don't expect him to handle the undulations and steep finish at Cleeve Hill. One to watch for Aintree and Punchestown.
5. Dodging Bullets (Queen Mother, Wednesday): Odds: 11/2
He has beaten Sprinter Sacre this season but that horse needed a run and Dodging Bullets simply doesn't win in the spring.
6. Foxrock (Ryanair Chase, Thursday): Odds: 8/1
I may be proven wrong but I think it's madness to supplement this horse for the 2m5f contest. He's a Gold Cup horse or nothing. His run behind Carlingford Lough was impressive but this is running at Cheltenham for the sake of it.
7. Any horse in the Triumph Hurdle
Anyone who has a bet in this race needs their head examined. A complete lottery.
8. Jetson (World Hurdle, Thursday) Odds: 12/1
Hard to see him turning the tables on Lieutenant Colonel with the drying ground. Jessie Harrington is the best at delivering a horse on the day but I'm not a fan.
9. The Tullow Tank (JLT Novice Chase, Thursday): Odds: 16/1
Not the horse he was or threatened to be. Best watched.
10. Any horse other than Annie Power in the mare's race
They are all running for second which is nothing to sneeze at now that this race is a Grade One.

I have backed a share of those too Mayo. It would be a brave man to lay those horse ...not backing them maybe but laying them
I would have been more inclined to lay the ones he said to back. There are better 1/8 shots than backing Hurricane Fly to get beat which is effectively what he is saying.

Would be a brave man indeed, some of those prices would bankrupt you on their own if you got it wrong, at those prices you could only lay as part of a balanced book. Surprised UDS isn't on the list, cheapest lay of the week, also surprised that Jetson is 12/1, last time I looked he was 25's

This was his 10 to back
1. Douvan (Supreme Novice Hurdle, Tuesday): Odds: 7/4
If the rumours are to be believed, Douvan is one of the biggest prospects to come out of Closutton in recent years. Hasn't beaten much but will remedy that next Tuesday.
2. Un De Sceaux (Arkle Novice Chase, Tuesday): Odds: 4/7
Davy Russell describes him as a "bull". Ruby Walsh may have a job restraining him but his racing record suggests one thing... if he stands up, he wins.
3. Faugheen (Champion Hurdle, Tuesday): Odds: 11/10
Shouldn't be the horse he is with his pedigree but he's a a superstar. Arguments over the fact that he hasn't met any of his main rivals are valid but he looks a class above.
4. Annie Power (Mares Hurdle, Tuesday): Odds: 4/7
Annie Power should really be running in the World Hurdle but without a run this season, it's probably wise that she goes for the mares, even though her stable mate Glen's Melody would probably win the race if she wasn't there.
5. Coneygree (RSA Chase, Wednesday): Odds: 7/2
Mark Bradstock's horse has been tipped to run in the Gold Cup. If he does he will be beaten, if he runs in the RSA like he should, he won't in my opinion.
6. Sire De Grugy (Queen Mother, Wednesday): Odds: 5/2
Being fitted with plastic shoes has worked a treat for last year's winner. Sprinter Sacre is the only one who should challenge him but there are way too many doubts over Nicky Henderson's animal. Can't see Champagne Fever getting close even though he loves it at Cheltenham.
7. Don Cossack (Ryanair Chase, Thursday): Odds: 3/1
Unbeaten this season and he looks like the most improved national hunt horse in racing. The O'Leary's will finally get a win in the race they have sponsored since its inception.
8. Windsor Park (Albert Bartlett, Friday): Odds: 8/1
Dermot Weld still hasn't committed to the Albert Bartlett but Windsor Park will be a leading player if/when he does. His ran behind Nichols Canyon last time was eyecatching and his schooling over hurdles has reportedly been going well since.
9. Don Poli (National Hunt Chase, Tuesday): Odds: 3/1
The best staying novice in Ireland according to senior National Hunt handicapper Noel O'Brien. Should have too many guns if he runs in the four-miler on Tuesday.
10. McKinley (Martin Pipe, Friday): Odds: 12/1
Off a four pound better mark in England than he is in Ireland and that could make all the difference. Won the Grade One Lawlor's Hotel Novice Hurdle in Naas in January and is improving all the time for Willie Mullins.
UDS is in there MMG. I will check back next week and see which list is most profitable.

We will see. You can over think the Grade1 races in my view. Don Poli and Coneygree in wrong races though.

I fancied Windsor Park but I was reading one of the preview night comments where someone described him as the worst jumper he'd ever seen, I had him down as an ok jumper, not great, but it puts a doubt in your mind when you read that.
Yes I noticed he has UDS down, along with other real shorties, plus DP in the 4 miler and I believe he's confirmed for the RSA.

What Gordon said about the game changer
The best of my handicap team is probably The Game Changer in the County Hurdle.
"He's been doing some lovely bits of work and, if he can finish out his race and get up the hill, then I think he'll go very close. I have been very happy with him since he joined me from Charlie's."
