No Annamix on that list billymag. Not as sweet on him as last year?
 
Not sure about Annamix yet, would like to of seen a bit of money for him, but he's on the radar for sure.

Yes its going to be a difficult festival if samcro doesnt stay hurdling lol.

All have differing amount of "Free Pts" staked - obviously the shorter ones have had more thrown at them.
 
I really hope Great Field comes over this year. I don’t think he would challenge Altior but for a horse I think comes off the bridle early he’d definitely be asking some questions!

That's some going Leman - How do you get so many free bets? Who is your biggest winner out of those?

Biggest winner is Samcro - Any Race!

I basically “farm” free bets throughout the year... although I am still careful.
Most with SkyBet and Will Hill

Both had good Free Bet options throughout the World Cup and I made good use of WH ACCA insurance whilst it lasted.

I’ll comment further in Archie’s new Free Bet thread!
 
Today -L.31 - 1.- Samcro - ch hdle -4-1.
2.- Tiger roll - x country - 5-1.
3. - Balko des flos - r/air - 10-1.
4. - Identity thief - styrs - 16-1.
5. - Road to respect - gold cup - 20-1.
 
Any idea's on 'De Bon Couer' I know Scooby spoke very highly of her last year but she didn't come over from France. Would anyone have an insight as to whether she will be coming over this year or they're not going to bother and just sticking to running at Auteuil?

I could be wrong but I'm sure someone else has asked a similar question and the reply was that she has an injury and will be out until next spring and wouldn't be ready for Cheltenham anyway.

Ahhh, apologies, must've missed that. Thanks for clearing it up :)
 
I saw Envoi Allen priced up at 33/1 for the bumper and thought it was a bit strange as I assumed he’d go over hurdles this year. Could be one to catch onside with a free bet or two

Other thoughts

Labaik “could be a champion hurdler” - no mention of fences

Brewinupastorm will be one to keep an eye on given his form with Portrush Ted

Good to hear CoF will definitely go novice hurdling and not have a year in bumpers.
 
Very good read and informative. Cheers KSS.

Nichols still very sweet on Danny Kirwan.
 
Looks like Apples Jade going the Mares route at fest. Still a long way to go but I thought would go down Stayers route this season.
 
Blow by blow, Champagne Classic, Cracking Smart, Delta Work, Dortmund Park all going for staying chases.

Blow by blow has won over 2m5f at the course, I wonder could he take the plate in this year, The Story Teller was all the rage for the Martin Pipe in 2017 before being ruled out a few days before, that is why I have earmarked Flawless Escape for the Plate but I know the Elliott mentioned that BBB was his bet of the festival to Pat Healy about a week before the festival last year and he wasn't even included in his stable tour for the festival, I wonder why?

My logic would be that with Champagne Classic, who has also won over 2m5f at the festival, having been off a season I wouldn't expect to see him winning G1 races immediately, similarly to BBB last year. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was kept to handicap company at the Festival before stepping up to G1 company at Punchestown. The only race I think he got get into would be the Festival Trophy on Day 1 but Elliott doesn't really run novices in that race. 4m could be an option as well.

Cracking Smart having been the Albert Bartlett horse, I wonder is this guy their RSA horse, following the No More Heroes route. Currently 20/1.

Delta Work, Jury Duty went down the 4m route last year after going close in the Pertemps, certainly finds plenty. I fully expected him to have a crack at the stayers this year, considering he has to beat Penhill and possibly Faugheen and given the amount of staying chasers Gigg have this year and his young age. Currently 25/1.

Dortmund Park think this guy who is a grade 1 winner at 2.5m will like be their JLT horse. I was a big fan last year all season.
