Will there be separate threads per race or one main thread ?

Anyone found any nice odds that they have jumped on early ? I know declarations are a long way yet

Ordinary world 66/1 EW in the Champion Chase

Up to you I suppose.... if you create a thread for a race and start a discussion I'm sure that'll lure some nuggets of information out :)

Ordinary World at 66s is a good nod charlie IMO
 
I have a feeling we might see Samcro in the Champion Hurdle.
 
Edwulf looks a player in the Gold cup, around 16/1, just about getting going at Chelts when hampered by Total Recall
 
Jury Duty out to 20s for the Novice Chase. Overlooking the obvious drift seems like value for a horse who has consistently preformed barring his ride at cheltenham.

Likewise Monbeg Notorious at 33s also catches my eye.
 
Hopefully someone can help.

Going to Dublin tomorrow for the festival.
I know this might sound daft but will I be able to use my online betting accounts as normal or will I need to do anything different ?
I'll be happy enough if my Bet365 app is fine to use as that carries most of my funds.

All comments appreciated.
Cheers
 
Douvan, Min and UDS all declared for the champion chase on Tuesday. Cant wait to see Douvan again. Considering booking the afternoon off and going down to it.
 
I think if douvan runs anything like he did at Cheltenham and stays on his feet then Min could be in trouble
 
Skybet boost for Douvan and Getabird both to win @ 4/1

£15 max
 
I quite like the double. I think douvan would have been close if he stayed up.

Getabird won easily when back right handed, galloping track and ground suits, I think the boost is worth it
 
I'm going to be against Getabird tomorrow. Paloma Blue looks like a brilliant ew bet to me at 5/1.
 
Also like Jury Duty.

Looking for some bigger prices, I like the look of Sharjah on better ground.

Golden Spear is going to win a handicap at some point as well, but I’ve been saying that for years.

I’ve backed Joseph’s in the Land Rover Bumper and had to back Douvan as I can’t have him beat.

Backed it three times. Betfair Sportsbook have pushed it out to 11/2 but after a difficult couple of weeks will stick at that.

If it wasn't for the threat of rain it would be a straight win bet. I think he is just a (much) better horse than Getabird. Russell was just wary of him getting up the hill at Cheltenham and couldn't peg the front three back.

Hopefully, Getabird doesn't get handed the ridiculously easy lead he got last time. That proved very little. Vision Des Flos wants a strong pace and Beyond The Law goes forward so tactically the favourite is in trouble.

Even if he wins impressively Paloma Blue will be winning the Arkle next year. Far more scope than the likely opposition.

I can't see how he finishes out of the three and, like you say, Getabird won't be getting an easy least tomorrow.

Added a Canadian:

Paloma Blue 9/2
Western Boy 14/1
Jury Duty 16/1
Ballyward 7/1
Road to Respect 2/1
