    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I’m a huge fan of the Boxman, but I’d be worried with this wind issue and his mentally afterwards I’d want to see how he runs in a competitive 3 miler before I start backing antepost King George and Ryanair, maybe a shit at the betfair chase if ground is good

    I tried antepost betting on this race last year, and was on East India Dock. He lost, fair enough, but to a 100/1. Said I would never do it again Do feel for those trying to get a antepost position, especially with Nas being knocked out 2-3 weeks ago glad i dont bother this with this race...

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    I know it after timing, but I did notice Kabral stopped very very quickly after winning the Relkeel One to watch out for going forward or whether they pick anything up regarding his wind

    Loved being at Cheltenham on Tuesday, there make some great improvements around the course - most noticeably being able to take your drinks out and about. However, I switched off after the Turners Novices. You, like everyone involved with the sport, spend so much time and effort in the run up...

    Right, back onto the exchanges and backing horses in play Ground is still rapid. Starts are a mess. This is not a great look. They need to sort it Look, the winner was well-in there, but these starts are poor

    ‘26 Mares Novice Hurdle

    I've liked Le Conquiere for a while now and backed her antepost She looks very quick, but I do want to back one from Ireland at bigger price So adding Place De La Nation (Win, W/O Fav, Place). Quick turnaround last year, to run 5th in the Triumph, so she has some decent CD form. She's ran well...

    I'd doubt it, I think they'll put down as much water as they can before the race Will be interesting to see how much rain we get through the day, it may turn it back to Good to Soft, maybe some soft if we get a decent amount of rain? But they wont allow the first race to go off Good
