    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Thanks for the info, managed to cash my roll up with Spillane’s Tower the other week for profit on 365. Absolute madness as you say, not sure how you can look at the Gold Cup market after results this season and think he’s a chance of even placing :rolleyes:

    2026 Gold Cup

    King George form looking strong for the first time in a while. I really like Jango and have him backed for the gold cup but will look to have a saver on something in the Denman on Saturday and Jango ryanair. A defeat there could possibly see them switching given the state if the Ryanair!

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    It’s one thing showing that turn of pace against TTT/ballyfad/king rasko etc, but its a bit different over 2m6 on heavy ground against a horse like Kazansky 😂 Galloped them into the ground to me, and he looked to jump quite big at a few of the hurdles

    Bartlett horse all over for me, hopefully they learn from last year

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Going off results this season Mullins has nothing good enough for the champion hurdle bar Lossiemouth and those ahead of her in the market are a horse who has never ran to her best at Cheltenham, a horse who won a Turners with form that looks weaker and weaker, and a horse that’s lost all...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Not sure what that ride was from Townend tbh, was hardly all out.

    2026 Novice Chasers

    Kopek is one of my best winners of the week and tbh I’d still fancy him off the back of one run, but the mixed messages over the past few weeks and those comments would hardly make you confident in him actually making the race. I have Romeo covered at bigger prices but feel like I’m going to...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Could easily take a positive view in that 4 of the 5 winners at Leop went on to place at Cheltenham in the Bartlett. Commander of Fleet 2nd beaten 2L by future gold cup winner Minella Indo Latest Exhibition 2nd beaten a neck by Monkfish who looked gold cup class prior to injury Minella Cocooner...

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    Agree that was really disappointing from Impose Toi, even with the softer ground and giving weight to the winner. I mentioned elsewhere I thought he was a great roll up option as I couldn’t see enough improvement in any of the others and tbh i’m still not sure if Ma Shantou has actually improved...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Fingers crossed for Sir Gino 🤞 I really hope Nicky has a good festival. I know he gets a bit of stick occasionally but his luck over the past few years has been rotten, deserves a change of fortune.

    Says he won’t be running in any ryainairs. At least i’ve got a 100/1 ticket if he eventually sees sense 😂 😂

    Let’s see what Skelton says, to me it’s obvious he’d have no chance in a gold cup anyway.

    As Q says it’s more trip and ground, i’m just not sure 25.5f around Cheltenham on soft ground will see him to best effect. Happy to be proven wrong and it’s by no means a strong opinion, I just thought that if one horse were to take advantage of any weaknesses it would be Spillane’s Tower, and...

    Plenty of rain around at Cheltenham by the looks of it and ground is already soft. The cotswold chase is generally a bit of a slog and i’m not sure the conditions are going to suit Grey Dawning, and looks a short price to me as a result. If beaten, I could easily see the Skeltons changing...

    Cheltenham Festival Roll-Ups

    Will be looking to use Impose Toi at evens in the Cleeve with 365 in a few roll ups, can’t really understand how he isn’t strong odds on. The only rival anywhere close on ratings, Strong Leader, he’s beaten twice already this season, both different in the way the race was run. Just as effective...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Been split now with Sober Glory in the Div 1 race and Fire Warning in the following Div 2 race. Bit disappointing really as doubt we’ll actually learn much now.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Surprised I could cash out for full stake on Sortudo for the Turners, backed last week before this race but after that performance i’d be surprised if he’s the type for the race. Can reassess nearer the time but wouldn’t be for me at the moment. Want to take No Drama This End on but nothing...

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Since it became a Grade 1 in 2015 Walsh/Townend have had a choice between Mullins’ runners 7 times I think. The one they picked did best of the Mullins horses once (Next Destination in 2018 who won at 8/15).

    2026 Champion Chase

    On anything better than soft ground, I would say Marine is a certainty given what we’ve seen so far

    2026 Gold Cup

    I’d really fancy TJM for the ryanair, but almost certain to go for the Gold Cup now which i’d be far less confident in. To me, Jango Baie looked like he’d be best suited by the gold cup. I really didn’t fancy him today and thought he might lose his position early/mid race, but he travelled...
