    Supreme Novices Hurdle 2021

    Figured we should start having individual threads for most races now? Being October and some nice horses starting to appear...(come on Kev pull your finger out :p) And the talk of Your Darling and his subsequent defeat today got me thinking about this race. Plenty will get talked up, with...

    2019 Collateral / Related Formlines

    Something I always try and keep an eye on before the festival but once i'm there and the whirlwind begins it's hard for me to keep on top of any related collateral form lines as they unfold. Kev just highlighted Klassical Dream > Dancing On My Own in the Coral thread. Good to get a separate...

    Kim Muir 2019

    Unfortunately there's no Viking Flagship style opening post here (feel free to follow up with one VF!) but thought best to move the recent Glenloe chat to a new thread. Blatantly obvious and as are many on here, a huge fancy for this race if they can qualify him. Have absolutely no doubt this...

    Ryanair 2019

    Been a while since i've been able to post...good to be back but pretty shocked there's no thread up yet for THE race on the Thursday of the festival...:devilish: As expected when you get Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott stable tours out within a day of eachother, some of the others tend to get...

    National Hunt Chase (4 miler) 2019

    This is actually one of my favourite races at the festival and i've been lucky enough to have 4 of the last 6 winners in the race (which is probably why I like it! :devilish:) I bought up Bacardys in the Stayers thread so thought best to move it into a new thread before continuing on: Bacardys...

    Davy Russell rides at the 2018 festival

    Similar to the Ruby thread, I wanted to put this into a thread though primarily to get a gauge and come the Festival week and quick place to find his handicap rides. To repeat from another thread: Flagged up by Leman on here beforehand - Davy Russell continues to excel in handicaps at...

    Mares Novice Hurdle 2018

    Ainsi Va La Vie makes her hurdling debut at Galway tomorrow. Both Salsaretta and Dome have been given good mentions with this race in mind and there's an excellent post on the pair along with some other French recruits below. It's a long read but well worth it...

    Same qualifying rules as last year - first 6 in each qualifying race qualify. First qualifier was run at Cheltenham yesterday with Thomas Campbell winning. First 6 were: There are a total of 20 qualifying races, with 15 taking place in the UK & Ireland. Will update the horses that qualify after...

    RSA Chase 2018

    Outside of the Gold Cup and Champion Chase which have obvious claims, the RSA is probably the race i'm most looking forward to come March and with the news that Death Duty is due out next Tuesday for his chase debut, now looks a good time to start this. Rather than go through the betting, i'll...

    Stayers Hurdle 2018

    There’s been a few posts regarding the Stayers Hurdle in the forum recently so it seems a good time to make up the thread. The Trial races, particularly the English Trials always hold strong with this race and the key trials would be: Key UK Trials Newbury - Long Distance Hurdle Ascot - Long...

    Supreme Novices 2018

    With only 235 days to go until the Supreme kicks off another Cheltenham Festival today seems like a good day to start this post :) From a betting point of view i'm not sure any years renewal can be as bad as last years (I'd also say the quality of last years race is also lacking and I can't see...

    Win Any Race 2018

    A horse who divides opinion so this won't be for everyone... Yorkhill - 6/1 Any Race - William Hill A 6/1 ante post price this far out won't be for all but for the horse in question, I think it's too big. A quick look at his possible targets and current best prices: Champion Hurdle - 10/1...
