2016 Cheltenham Festival Day 2 Yankee (by Bitchy)

Cantlow in cross country ?

I've just posted in the XC thread OV, I would back Love Rory to finish ahead of Cantlow and unfortunately as this is no longer a handicap only 3 places....
 
Bitchy is obviously tied up, maybe it's time to select the day 2 Yankee between the rest of us? We need the nap at least for the main Yankee, try to think like bitchy
 
All nots lost guys ,, I know I said I will start the other day but the boss is being an arse,, just got a bit of paper work to complete by 7pm tonight,, and then im off for the week

regards Bitchy

Nice hear from you matey, we couldn't think like you anyway;)
Bosses can be an arse, that's why I work for myself, but even I don't stand for any of my shenanigans
 
Just incase Bitchy is tied up, does everyone want to post suggestions here and I will take a look and make a decision later today?

I am off out to watch the races and will be back after.

Good idea LR, Crazy horse reckons his best chance of a winner this week is Balthazar King so I would go with that
 
Just arrived in Cheltenham and have wifi :D.

I think Special Tiara is overpriced in the QMCC and probably also backable in the without market.

Been talking this one up for months OV, I have him in 5 ap bets including a weighty single, big shout ew I reckon, UDS hard to beat but I have him in a couple at 5's in the wo market
 
An even tougher day tomorrow. I like the following e/w shouts, but missing one.

One For Harry(big price) - Coral
Diego Du Charmil - Fred
Augusta Kate or Coeur Blimey or High Bridge - Bumper

I'm pretty sweet on Sgt Reckless, they said there was a new course record set in the Champ hdle, that means the ground is way better than good to soft, so that will be a big advantage for SR, I'm gonna have a decent ew on him. I also like Balthazar King, Dickie reckons it's his best chance of a winner this week.
Had a decent day, helped by a weighty double on AP and VVM, plus I have a 4 horse bet with 4 trebs and an ACCA with Altior and Minella today going onto Outlander and More of That, been offered a decent cash out, not sure what to do, any thoughts

Couple of nice holidays if the place comes up on that one LR, looks like there's only us on the forum tonight so I guess it's your call, being the Yankee captain;)

Ok I can confirm this is final selection by MMG & LR.

Sgt Reckless - Coral
Balthazar King - Cross Country
Diego Du Charmil - Fred WInter
High Bridge - Bumper

Ista - I will place your bet for you as agreed. ;)
 
Almost everyone I see is raving about Diego Du Charmil. If Yanworth & More Of That oblige, I'm going to jump in on Diego with both feet.
 
I'll do your first suggestion too in the Coral and split my stake.
