    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Game of opinions Ista. I think the trip will be no problem and only fancied him for the Cup and not the County. He debuted on the flat as a 2 year old over 10f which says to me that he was already thought of as a stayer. He's only had 7 starts over hurdles and 4 of which were as a 4 year old so...

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Willie on Storm Heart in his latest update on his Cheltenham runners in the Sportinglife. Storm Heart’s recent win at Gowran would put him right in the mix for the BetMGM Cup. I loved the way he finished in Gowran. When things didn’t go well for him during the race Paul was very cute on him...

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Could well be and he may easily have improved considerably from last season but I still prefer SH who I think could be a 160+ horse. I just think Townend will pick SH. He chose him ahead of Kargese in the Triumph the other year and also Bunting over Jump Allen at Sandown last season. JA may also...

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    My thinking that he goes Coral Cup is that Willie already has strong chances according to the betting in Murcia and Karbau. He doesn't look to have as strong contenders in the Cup, so hopefully wants Storm Heart there who that who Paul would choose over Jump Allen.

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    I'm already on at 16s with Paddy's when they went NRNB and then 20s with B365. I would still take the 12s NRNB if not already on as can see that and the 10s easily disappearing once he's confirmed for the race and Townend jocked up.

    2026 BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (previously Coral Cup)

    Disappointing that Indeevar Blue is now out of this but makes Storm Heart an even strong bet for me. I fancy a lot of the Skelton handicappers this Cheltenham but just can't have Kateira for this. I think Storm Heart could easily be a strong favourite for this after P Townend is next to his name...

    Yep, if it was my birthday, I would also want as many winners as possible. That's probably why he wants Iroko in the Ultima too. He certainly has a lot of good chances. Supreme - Mighty Park Juvenile Hcap - Saratoga, Manlaga, Mustang Du Breuil Ultima - Jagwar, Iroko Champion H - The New Lion...

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    I really fancy Iroko if he comes here(sorry Naiad backers). He looks better this year and his jumping has improved. Last time out was a really good performance against Firefox although it appeared he didn't like going right handed. He's ran well and hit the line really hard in both his starts...

    I don't fancy Mighty Park at all. Would absolutely love it if he comes to the Supreme so that the price of others can hopefully go out. I just wasn't impressed by his jumping on debut and think he's going to be severely tested when there's going to be a mad pace with loads of runners jumping...

    Has something been said? I really liked him for this.

    He was on my radar for the Coral Cup but is no longer qualified as only has the 4 runs.

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Ha ha. Not just me. There's been much more money than just mine! And of course, you need people wanting to back.
