I see a few more William Hill refunds in my account this morning, from novice and handicap hurdle races
 
Not a dig at anyone just an observation, can we keep any price chat to the odds movement thread please.

Threads will just be clogged up for the next week with no real discussion other than movements in price.
 
Seems to have been a fairly dry weekend in Cheltenham and all I can see for the next week is small amounts of rain. What's the betting this time next week we'll be obsessed with the forecast.

Think there is usually a designated post for it, so all the weather watchers can fill their boots in there?
 
CashOut options removed with B365 for any bets including Ballyburn in Supreme and Stay Away Fay in BANC. Has something been announced.
 
For those that might be interested one of the contestants on mastermind tonight has Cheltenham gold cup 1960 to present as their specialised subject. Is it one of us?????
 
I know stable tours are chosen by the journo so it could be Blake bias, but man alive Gordo is reliant on Gigginstown isn't he

Between them and the Moran’s, yeah. They provide BDA, Jigoro, Mike, FAF, Zanahiyr, Firefox, My Trump Card, Yellow Clay.

Robcour starting to get a few more now too.
 
It’s all novices it seems, possibly another scratch day.

Just on this has anyone else got a load of bets showing no cash out now? It’s random though not specific divisions. Is there more scratching as well as entries and handicap weights this week?
 
Nice sunny day here across the Irish sea. Sunny and dry again in Cheltenham? Forecasts seem to be only minimum showers through to the weekend.

Wonder if the Clerk will be getting his watering can out although Ruby was only saying to be aware of the high water level in the ground.

Think I read yesterday that Davy Casey mentioned Cross Country course was under water in some parts, so the high water table is probably true. Anyway, a week without rain and a nice breeze should start to make them think about applying a bit of water to the main track. Usually get the dedicated weather watch page from the jockey club around now as they monitor it daily..

Well unless the rain clouds that caused the x country to be under water was only above that part of the course, think it’s safe to say that Cheltenham has been pretty soft lately.
Just keep an eye on the weather from now but I doubt the need to water is there, well not yet anyway.
Crucial time will be the days of the last week till the Tuesday.
