    Day 1 Yankee - FinalFurlong91

    Sacrilege i know - but i really fancy Leave of Absence to run a huge race in the Ultima. The other is King of Answers in the NHC - he was well fancied in the Ultima, so he has to come into the reckoning here as it looks a weak enough renewal with no stand out Irish graded horse in waiting.

    Preview Evenings - links, details and write ups

    It was streamed through their facebook page but not Youtube for some reason. Search "Sporting Life Racing" on FB and you'll find it - it's about 2 hours long - Patrick Mullins joined for a chat as well - gave Jump Allen has his handicap one to follow - which he's thrown out at a lot of...

    ‘26 Mares Novice Hurdle

    In their wisdom the BHA have done away with penalties for the Mares Hurdle and Novice Hurdle, but they remain for the Mares Chase.

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    Love the Naiad - he comes out very well on all the trends. My only concern with him is if he is a few lbs better on a flat track - his best 3 RPRs have come at Kempton and Ascot 152/152/150 - right handed, flat tracks, His next 3 best RPRs are all at Cheltenham over C&D and are 147/146/146 -...

    2026 Ultima Handicap

    Peter Scudamore, assistant trainer, said: "We're thinking of either the staying chase at Cheltenham over three-miles-six [the National Hunt Novices' Handicap Chase] or the Midlands National on the Saturday. He'll go for one of those, god willing, depending on how the ground is. "We used to...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    I think there is still a chance - Willie rarely puts his good Juveniles moving into open company out before The New Year.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Without wanting to be facetious - how is being within a length or 2 of Golden Ace, the Champion Hurdler, not Champion Hurdle Form? I watched that race back earlier and I think Danny Mullins went to have a go at beating State Man, she couldn't get there, blew up and went out on her shield, and...

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    The chat from Closutton has always been wherever Jade De Grugy goes then Kargese will go the other way. With Jade entered up over Fences then they must fancy Kargese for a tilt at the Champion and there's a lot to like. She's an out and out 2 miler - if she stays over hurdles this must be her...

    The 2025 DRF

    The biggest checkpoint on the way to Cheltenham is here. Entries filling up, handicap prices should start to filter through this week. An early scout through the cards and it looks like the Irish Champion Hurdle could cut up significantly, give State Man a penalty kick and leave some EW value...

    Collateral Form

    Don't see anything of this like about the place - so please combine with another thread if another exists. But just wanted someone to highlight horses who are boosted by the runs of others during the Festival. Most obvious place to start: Hook Up in behind Appreciate It, Ballyadam and Blue...
