Overall YANKEE
HYLAND in the Ulitma. (Naiad selection from Paul and one we can all cheer on) 10/1

STUMPTOWN in the Cross Country (finished in the top 3 on 5 occasions at Cheltenham) 7/2
SIXMILEBRIDGE in the Jack Richard’s (has won on his last 3 outings and at Cheltenham on both soft and good ground) 9/1

1112/1 best odds with Billy Hills.

Ultima
Hyland 10/1
Plate
Downmexicoway - general 12/1
NHC
King of Answers 10/1-12/1 (lucinda 5 of last 6 runners have won)
With 365 (6 places on fred winter and ultima) 33,034/1

Day Two Yankee;
Jingko Blue - Coral Cup
Stumptown - Cross Country
Relieved of Duties - Grand Annual
Mourne Rambler - Bumper

Day Three Yankee;
SIXMILEBRIDGE: (Jack Richards) 9-1 with 365, Lads, BFred, Victor, MGM
He's a slick jumping trail-blazer who's been in terrific fettle this season. He's got course form and can give Fergal his first taste of Festival glory.
BOB OLINGER: (Stayers' Hurdle) 6-1 all round
A fat jockey legend bidding for his fourth Festival win at the age of 11. Unbeaten at Cheltenham - he knows how to get the job and another win for Bob would no doubt bring tears to the eye of many a FJ.
SUPREMELY WEST: (Pertemps): 9-2 Lads, 4-1 all round
Dan's been plotting this race all season and he's certainly weighted to win off 135.
JERIKO DU REPONET (Kim Muir): 4-1 all round
Second in the Pertemps last year, proven on decent ground and likely to have Derek O'Connor on board which will help offset has big weight.

Day Four Yankee;
County - Murcia
- Has looked the obvious pick for a few weeks, hopefully Paul rides.
Triumph - Selma De Vary - Highest rated left in the race, eye catching run on her first start for Willie, should come on a bundle for that.
Mares Chase - Dinoblue - Class horse in the race, had a lovely prep away from the hustle n bustle of the big races to get her spot on for this, whats not to like.
Gold Cup - The Jukebox Man - Improving with every run, to come back from injury and look as good as he has winning a strong King George on only his 4th start over fences makes me think he is a special horse.
549/1 Antepost 365 or 432/1 Hills NRNB.

Was me and Kev backed them. Not sure how they worked out.

Pretty sure Dino blue was one who I got wrong. Would happily put her up again though.
 
Thanks for the confidence boost though....

Happy enough not to make a loss for those that done the June one E/W :LOL:

Good job the daily Yankees have been pretty bloody good this season!
 
I picked up 636 quid for my 5 quid each Yankee (outlay 110). Could be better. Could be a lot worse !
