SW - you did a great job this year of posting the race conditions for handicaps, would you be able to set up the 2021 race threads with the same info you provided this year, even if the 2020 info isn't immediately available and can be added later.
The info you put up I found invaluable as I'm sure many others did...

No probs. Can then update in full when the Jump Pattern Book 20/21 comes out in Mid-October.

I love a crack at the handicaps, hurdles in particular, so putting together the opening page and threads for the handicaps was a great reminder of race conditions and past winners, ratings, weights etc. :encouragement:

It’s a great reference point to just go back to page 1 on each handicap thread to check on this stuff.
 
Looking forward to 2021 already;

ryan does the two tipping comps
MoM sorts the yankees
Mayo will find us each a £2m acca
Charlie will be walking his dog on course from mid January for daily ground updates
SW providing race conditions and historic data in the race threads

Shaping up well....

Yes I would also to thank you for doing this as it’s a really useful reference point at the start of each thread

SW yes please , must echo Istie’s post
 
Don’t know where to post this and thought I’d never post anything like this BUT I’m missing Lobos

Wound me up over the Mares Hurdle but I have the utmost respect for him as a true NH fan

Come out of quarantine please :applause:

Unfortunately Pie, it appears his stubbornness and bloody mindedness (and pride) knows no bounds, and the longer he's left it the harder it is to come back.
Not grown up behaviour Lobos (I know you're watching)
 
Wasn’t sure where to ask this but how likely am I (and a mate) to make racing on the Thursday if we arrive at Cheltenham 12.52 for opening race?

Down for the Friday and hoping if we managed the Thursday as well.

Done the Friday once before and got a bus right outside the station then jumped off and walked because it was that busy. I’m reckoning not very likely but more experienced folk will know better than me.
 
I think you'd have a good shout Craigy.

Thursday less busy than Friday, by 1.00pm-ish most people will be on course so the roads get miles less busy then. So long as you can get a bus or a cab you should go (almost) straight through at that time.

And what's the worst that can happen? You watch the JLT on your phone and are there in good time for the Pertemps - what's not to like?! :encouragement:
 
MIN @ 3/1, 2M 5F, RYANAIR CHASE

It looks like Min will step up in trip for the Ryanair Chase after the younger Chacun Pour Soi proved a little too good for him in the two mile Dublin Chase at the Dublin Racing Festival.

There was no shame in defeat and by the time Min comes to race in this we’ll know exactly how his Leopardstown conqueror got on in the Champion Chase the day before.

He was spectacular at Aintree last season over 2m 4f and impressive again over the same trip on his seasonal debut in the Grade One John Durkan Chase at Punchestown.

The step up in trip will help him at Cheltenham and he hasn’t got a rating of 171 for nothing.

Here is Walsh tipping up Min in his PP news column
Said he didn’t fancy it last night at a preview

Yeah he's been nothing but complimentary about Min on every episode of Road To Cheltenham aswell, using Min as the reason he fancies CPS for the CC. I dont understand the preview night stuff. Do people really go on there to give false information? for what purpose? Will him slagging Min on one preview night move markets?

Perfect mate, appreciate the info.

I did wonder if most would be on course so roads a little quieter haha!

Cheers
