Cheltenham Festival Handicaps

mayo - do you remember that attachment, was a great read...
 
Ista & Mayo,

I remember one alright - have you tried the Archive threads...nothing is deleted if you sign in.
 
I've been everywhere obvious OV, no joy.
Is there a way of accessing all historic posts ? I definitely commented on the thread, may be easier to find from personal posts ?
 
I remember it too. Think it could have been from LR, MrM or Bitchy.

If it was Bitchy, could it have been deleted when he left?
 
That rings a bell FM.

I am pretty sure I saved a copy but its on another machine,
 
FM - would you have commented on the thread ?
I think you can only access your last 500 posts, could be that you've posted less than that in last year ?
On profile, view recent posts....
 
It could be OV but I'm sure there's a bigger document, I'm sure it kept the printer bust for a while when I hit the button....
 
Champers on Ice entered and likely to run in the 2m5 handicap chase this Saturday. It's the same race that UTPT ran in before running in the Ultima, but the owners of COI have said the 4 miler is still the most likely and they just need to get runs into him.

Will be interesting what Pipe says before the race though if he sees it differently
 
He's an interesting runner, over a trip short of ideal. You'd think Pipe is thinking Ultima after this entry - trainers being creatures of habit and all that!
 
Mall Dini looks like an obvious contender for one of the handicaps, although I'm sure he won't have been missed by Phil Smith and he's likely to get a mark the wrong side of 140.

Bryan Cooper on the Final Furlong podcast?
Did you also hear how disappointed he was with Mega Fortune's inflated mark? :-)
 
Does Cooper put Mall Dini up? He got a hands and heel ride yesterday and wasn't put in the race what so ever.

I bet Phil Smith gives him a rating higher than his hurdles mark though

Cooper mentions him. Mall Dini has barely run over the right trip all season and never given an aggressive ride once.
 
Quite like how Gordon Elliott is playing chess with the English handicapper.. Cause of causes givin 153, so he runs him and finished tailed off at Cheltenham today.. Surely has to drop him a few pounds?
 
Hopefully not too many. Need him in the Ultima ;)
