Don't understand the reasoning behind confining previews to facebook. Plenty of older people follow the sport and they wouldn't care two hoots about facebook.
last night went well, thanks for the well wishes! videos can be got on periscope as mentioned below or @3furlongsout on Twitter..
Panel was Danny Mullins, Sean Flanagan, Colin McBratney, Noel McParland and Mark O'Hare who stepped in last minute for Andrew Lynch who couldnt attend. "Archie" from Toals Bookies who sponsored the night was also on the panel.
Supreme Novice
DM - A very tricky race to predict. Sais Melon is a fantastic horse, an exceptional worker but it inexperienced. He likes Bunk Off Early. Mentiones Neon Wolf will go to the Neptune, thinks Crack Mome has a chance.
NMcP - Agees with Danny
Archie:- Thinks the race revolves around Moon Racer and Ballyandy, he believes the money will come for Ballyandy. Not sure if Moon Racer will run here and cant have Melon with one race under him.
CMcB:- Likes Move With The Times - mentiones he wasnt far behind Moon Racer and Ballyandy LTO and feels he was just out for the run that time. Good each way bet
SF:- Agrees with Colin. Cant have Melon at all and says Moon Racer is held together with Sellotape!, says Ballyandy will puke at the bottom of Cheltenham Hill.
MOH :_ Says Bunk Off Early will jump better on bette ground and is rock solid at least as an EW bet but thinks theres a chance he could go for the Coral Cup?
Arkle
DM:_ Anyone who think Altior has any danger in this race needs their head examined (Barring a fall)
SF:_ Nothing there to beat Altior, cant have anything else in the race. Point the horse and he goes!
NmcP:- Altior a good thing
CMcB:- No faults in Altior, likes Royal Cavalier e/w at 16/1
DM:- Royal Cavalier schooling well - advises to have a punt e/w
MOH:- Agrees with Royal Cavalier EW for inteterst but to sit back and enjoy Altior
Champion Hurdle
Archie:- Fascinating race, says Yanworths jumpin doesnt impress him. Likes Buveur D'air. Feels Petit Mouchoir has the best form going into the race, thinks Limini will be supplemented so asks Danny for this thoughts
DM:- Limini or VVM could still be supplemented - an announcement expected lunchtime tomorrow (08/03/17)
Archie:- Brain Power shortening in the bookies lately, money has been coming from the right people. Thinks Moon Racer may run here and him and Yanworth could run into a place.
MOH:- Hopes to see an Irish Winner, would love Yanworth to win especially as he is good friends with Mark Walsh and will be having a few uid on him.
DM:- Says he would love to ride Yanworth and mentions David (Mullins) fancies Brain Power for this. Says there is nothing from Limini to suggest she is capable of inning a CH just yet, although she is extremely talented. He would love to see her win it though.
SF:- Yanworth a worthy Favorite, Limini will be supplemeneted and has a huge chance. Brain Power wont be far away.
NMcP:- Petit Mouchoir fan, says she travels well and is very slick and will be up there.
CMcB:- A complicated race but feels Limini is the one, thinks she will only improve. Says he would fancy Tombstone for a place if it ran here.
Mares Hurdle
DM:- Mentions its impossible to get into Willies head at the moment but believes Limini CH, VVM here, Apples Jade here, Lets Dance will run the Mares Novice.
SF:- VVM a certainty if she runs here. Says Augusta Kate would be interesting if she ran here considering how close she got to Death Duty.
Archie:- Reiterates the point that theres alot of confusion over entries but says VVM needs to run alot better than she did LTO. Likes Forge Meadow? but, Danny advised that runs the Mares Novice.
NMcP:- VVM a absolute banker here
CMB :- VVM a good thing barring a fall
DM;- Takes the mic and tells the audience to look out for Rock On The Moor - 50/1 shot that was behind Limini and Apples Jade LTO and is a great each way shout.
National Hunt Chase
MOH -Likes Martello Tower. Doesnt like Genie In A Bottle as Trainer has poor form at festival. Doesnt like Edwulf either.
SF;- Likes Genie In A Bottle alot, says will love 4 miles and has a masive chance!
DM:- Martello Tower has a great chance wherever he runs, mentions his English mark is alot better than the mark he has in Ireland but reckons theres a possibility the Kim Muir may be a better option.
CMcB:- Has been impressed with Edwulf and is a fan of American who has done nothing wrong so far but wonders will it run elsewhere - says 14/1 in this race is definately worth an EW bet.
Tuesday Selections:
Achie - Moon Racer wherever it runs
*Danny then states Moon Racer has more problems than a plane to Lourdes!* (picks VVM)
the rest all pick VVM and Colin gives Limini a shout for CH
Neptune
DM;- Bacardys the best chance of the Mullins horses in this race. Says Invitation Only will run here and will improve, Lets Dance will go to the Mares Hurdle - says all Willies horses here need to step up to beat Neon Wolf. Likes Finians Oscar but not up to Neon Wolfs standard.
Archie;- All the money in shop is for Neon Wolf, says he will go off 6/4 on the day. He Spoke to Noel Fehily the night before who says he wont be beat.
SF:- Neon Wolf a worthy Favorite, likes Finians Oscar but would be a massive achievement to beat Neon Wolf. Mentions that Jamie Codd is very keen on Brelade
CMcB;- Agrees about Neon Wolf. Likes Bacardys each way.
NMcP:- Would love to see Finians Oscar win it, also thinks Brelade is geat value at 25/1
RSA Chase
Archie - Henderson is sweet on Might Bite but the punters arent taking to it in their shops. Money has been pouring in for Whisper with Davy Russell
MOH:- Is a fan of Alpha Des Obeaux, says he bled and was sick LTO
DM shouts No! and that he cant have him, states the owners would be pulling some rabbit out of the bag with this one but mark is sticking with his selecton.
DM - Bellshill has it all to do, he was(is) a great horse but has become a bit of a numbskull recently. Doesnt like Might Bite or Acapella Bourgois - likes Whisper.
NMcP:- Like O O Seven as an each way bet, thiks its a big price is runs well. Doesnt like the favorites.
CmcB:- Wouldnt take a chance on Might Bite likes Shantou Village each way at a massive prive. Likes Sandra Hughes' horse aswell?
SF:- Wouldnt get off Acaplla for anyone! thinks soft/heavy ground will suit better. (Danny Mullins then asks for a few straightjackets)
Champion Chase
DM:- Says he is ascared to go near Douvan incase something happens to it the way things have been going for Willie lately. Streets ahead of anything else, says when pushed he thinks Special Tiara may follow him home but says to just sit back and admire what will be really special watch.
MOH: - Just get yourself a pint and enjoy the race!
Archie:- Absolute certainty - advised they will o a 7/4 double today for both Douvan and Altior to win by 5 or more lengths.
CMcB;- a superstar and nothing gets near him.
SF: - The best horse you will ever see. back Special Tiara w/o Douvan
NMcP:- Douvan is bombproof
wednesday selections..
danny - neon wolf (if death duty doesnt run there!)
mark - Brelade
archie - whisper e/w
sean - acapella bourgois
noel - neon wolf
JLT
SF - Yorkhills a certainty, would love to see Disko win but he wont get neat Yorkhill.
Archie - Yorkhill very solid but feels he jumps funny, hes the only horse the punters want to back though
DM - On ability the best in the race, dont worry about last run. Top Notch has solid form, Diusco a good horse but neither can beat Yorkhill.
MOH - Yorkhill wins.
CMcB - Yokhill IF he behaves himself.
NMcP:- Disagrees with the panel - but says nothing more!
Ryanair
Archie:- UDS favorite stepping up, was beat by Sprinter last year but we know about SS. Money been coming for Uxizandra, he likes Sub Luitenant and thinks hes a nice prie at 8/1
DM - Worried will Uxizandra bounce. Likes UDS
MOH - Empire Of Dirt has improved and has solid form but likes Zabana. Likes good ground and was unlucky last year and thinks its a tasty EW bet.
SF - Likes UDS, states he travels well but his jumping is debatable, likes uxizandra aswell. Says that Empire of Dirt is a handicap Chaser and doesnt like it, shouldnt be winning this,
CMcB - Fan of Uxizandra but likes UDS who will be hard to beat, nothing much else in the rrace.
NMcP - UDS wins.
Stayers
Archie - This is a one horse race. UKWIMH will win this. He always finds more when he needs to.
DM - UKWIMH is a fascinating horse, everyhting you need in a 3 miler and hard to oppose. Shaneshill form not good enough. Cant se Cole Harden reversing form with fav, Jezki wont beat him and cant see Clondaw Warrior getting involved.
MOH - Favs a good thing. Back Jezki E/w loves good ground and is an older and wiser horse.
SF - cant see past the fav
NMcP - Ballyoptic has slipped under the radar, if hes at his best its a good each way bet.
CMcB - Favorite is sound. Cole Harden would need to improve.
thursdays best bets
colin - UKWIMH
Noel - UDS
Archie - Sub Luitenant (e/w)
Mark - Yorkhill
DM - mentions a race that wasnt discussed - says isleofhopesandreams wins the pertemps
Triumph
DM - Bapuame a leading contender for Willie but cant be having any of his horses here, favorite looks imperious
Archie - All about the fsv with punters. Says Charli Parcs looked beat anyway LTO before he fell - mentions fav was careless over its last few jumps LTO.
SF - Doesnt know who he would ride out of these (DM shouts Lizzy Kelly!) fancies the Favorite but described this as a "rejects race" says last years winner has been "shite" this year.
CMcB - likes Mr BlueEyes advised he didnt come off the bridle last time out, certanly an ew bet.
MOH - Suicide to take the favorite! says he spoke to friends of Mullins and they are keen on Merie Devie
NMcP - doesnt like anything betting wise!
Albert Bartlett
DM - Favorite beat every year in this race, Death Duty has no chance and to LAY him immediately! Gives a shout out to The Worlds End, says its been backed from 33s to 12s and has a great chance here.
Archie - Not sure if DD would have beaten Augusta Kate, advised to take the favorite on. Says he likes West Approach, 3rd behind UKWIMH and close relative to Thistlecrack
MOH - Favorite is the one but is too short in price, says Augusta Kate would beat DD on good ground.
SF - Massive DD fan and says its a cert, feels he could even improve again on better ground. Mentions Monalee as an e/w bet if ground was soft.
CMcB - is a fan of Augusta Kate but has no doubts about Death Duty and he is the genuine article.
NMcP - Likes Augusta Kate. Says he cant have Bryan Cooper on the fav - would much rather be siding with Ruby around Cheltenham than Cooper
Foxhunters
MOH - Most likely winner is Aupcharlie, had a bad run last year but has improved with more to come. Patrick Mullins may be on board aswell.
CMCB - On The Fringe is the one to beat - also mentions he has a horse running here himself that is a trier and doing well, would be happy with a place at big odds.
NMcP - OTF hard to oppose, a class above everything in the race. Mentions Colins horse is in good form and hopes for a place.
Archie - Ask The Weatherman is the best P2p horse in England in the last 10 years and will win this, On The Fringe only won by a neck last year and is obviously an older horse. Mentions Colins horse - great EW value - a good jumper
DM - would love to ride On The Fringe, likes Nicholls' horse Pacha Du Polder - says it would have done better last year with a decent jockey on board - swipe at Pendleton there!
SF - OTF unbeatable here, has had a great prep run and comes on strong. The one to beat. Metioned that Jamie Codd told him he will be better at Cheltenham. Again gives mention to Colins horse as an e/w shout
DM - Advises audience they should always follow any Irish amatuer jockeys at these meetings, especially Jamie Codd as they are miles ahead of British amatuers - interesting!
Gold Cup
DM - Huge fan of Djakadam, says he was great two years ago here, not so much last year. Mentioned he receieved 25 stitches up his chest after falling last year. Prep has been perfect this year, says Native River isa glorified Handicapper and Cue Card is collecting his pension - Djakadam all the way!
SF - (asked about road to riches) Wont go here, and couldnt see it being anywhere ear close even if it did run. Likes Sizing John, states hes the only Grade 1 horse in the race
CMcB - Stats say Cue Card cant win after being thrashed by Thistlecrack but he came bak again after that. Feels Djakadam can win if he gets the perfect run.
DM - says "puppy" is sweet on Sizing John
NMcB - Sizing John made Jezki look like a point to pointer at Navan!
Archie - says Djakadam will go off favorite on the day, Native River probably needs the rain but he stays. Would be happy to take Djakadam on as never won at Cheltenham in 4 races, all stats are against him. Likes Cue Card - a remarkable horse. Mentions theres been e/w interest in their shops for More Of That.
MOH - Fancies Djakadam. Said last year his prep was a mess - likes Seans lovelife. Mentions how he goes fresh and thinks he ca do it. Doesnt like Outlander or Sizing John, thinks Cue Card is too old.
Archie - Djakadam would have been a cert in the Ryanair.

Sean Flanagan.
Empire Of Dirt a 'handicapper', Sizing John 'only Grade 1 horse'.
Quite brilliant analysis.

Hope Danny Mullins is right about Invitation Only. Had more or less given up on my bet on him. Would be nice to get a run.

I have backed the horse myself but that's about the only positive comment in the last three months. No reaction in the market and I would suspect he has just got it wrong. Sadly, I would very surprised if the horse travelled.

Saw a comment from Willie a couple of weeks ago saying he's 50/50 but had pleased him more the last few days.
Agree though, betting not positive at all. Still think that Death Duty Monalee form could end up looking really top class. And he looks like he will relish the better ground.

Sunbets are currently streaming theirs live on Facebook.
So far they have boosted Douvan for the CC to 4/1 (max £20) and Altior for the Arkle to 7/2 (max £20).
EDIT: They have pulled them already, currently offering Neon Wolf 9/2 for the Neptune though probably won't last long.

Thanks, couldn't see those prices. Neon Wolf is hardly the same as the other offers. You wonder if ten people got on.
As a rule probably best to ignore anything Francome says.

2fm game on cheltenham preview about to start: Joseph o'brien, robbie power, ted walsh and leon blance join hugh cahill. Updates here too!
Joseph o'brien: I don't miss riding, i love what i'm doing now. #gameon
ted on limini: The 20 grand had nothing to do with it. Willie asked himself the question, will she win a champ hdl? And he probably said no
ted walsh: When it gets dirty and tough, yanworth will love it, he's the one to beat in the champion hurdle
robbie power: Yanworth reminds me of hardy eustace, he just gets the job done. Joseph o'brien agrees with robbie and ted.
Leon blanche, boylesports: Brain power is the one that intrigues me. Could be an each-way bet at 7 or 8-1
robbie power: I wouldn't like to second guess willie mullins but i'd say vroum vroum will go champion hurdle route #gameon2fm
joseph o'brien: If altior gets around he should win. Looks the only horse that could give douvan a race
leon blance: Some plan and royal caviar looks the each-way bets in the arkle
ted walsh on melon: You've have to respect what willie has said about him. And if you respect willie mullins you back melon.
Joseph: If willie wasn't as confident about melon as he is, he should be at least twice the price. Movewiththetimes interesting each-way
robbie: Pipes are mad if they go champion hurdle route with moon racer. He'd take plenty of beating in the supreme
leon: Melon could be bigger than 3-1 on the day, bookies take each other on in the first race of the festival
ted on douvan: Unless he genuflects coming down the hill or does something silly he should win. There's nothing in the race
joseph: Douvan is head and shoulders above the rest. He hasn't been tested and won't be this year either #gameon2fm
leon blanche on rsa chase: Might bite a worthy fav but standard of opposition will be a lot stiffer at chel than it was at kempton
joseph on (his own) edwulf: He's more than likely to go 4miler at the minute. I like alpha des obeaux for rsa, mouse's horses are flying
ted walsh: Might bite won't get his own way, i wouldn't back him. I think acapella bourgeois is the bet at 8-1
robbie power: I think acapella bourgeois is the one. Mouse is a genius but if he can win with alpha des obeaux, this will be his best yet
ted on the neptune: Bacardys at 5-1 or 6-1 will definitely be in the first three. You mightn't win but you won't lose. He's battle-hardened
leon likes messire des obeaux in the neptune: He's the one for me at about 10-1
robbie power not convinced about form of races won by neon wolf and finian's oscar. Monalee at 14s the one for him
joseph: Henry de bromhead likes monalee. Willie has a lot of mares and if airlie beach lines up here she could go close
audience question for ted, could douvan run in ryanair on thurs after champ chase on wed? Ted: Not unless un de sceaux dies on the wed nite!
Robbie: Jezki runs in the stayers hurdle - "he's the forgotten horse of the race and he's very well at home"
ted on uknowwhatimeanharry: If you like 11-10 shots and i'm sure plenty of ye do, well this is a good one. I think he'll win
robbie power: Sizing john definitely goes for the gold cip
ted: Un de sceaux is vulnerable on quick ground but if it rained i'd take two points shorter. On soft ground he's a good bet
robbie power: Fast pace could play into empire of dirt's way in the ryanair. Leon is keen on zabana
ted: Yorkhill is the only horse i've seen both ruby and paul townend ride and they weren't the boss. I think he'll win, he's very good, but!
Robbie: Un de sceaux always paid attention to what he was doing, yorkhill doesn't. He just doesn't use his brain. #gameon2fm
leon on the gold cup: Native river has impressed me every time he has run. Cue card vulnerable over the trip. On balance its djakadam for me
ted: I backed djakadam at 16s but he's a stinking prize at 4s. Nothing but excuses for him. You're hard up for a bet if you take 4-1
robbie: Every day i ride sizing john he gives me the impression he will stay. His pedigree says he will stay, he's a class horse
barcelona have got off to the perfect start as luis suarez hands them a 3rd-minute lead. Bar 1-0 psg (agg 1-4)
robbie: If he stays 3m2f - and i think he will - sizing john will go very close in the gold cup #gameon2fm
charity bets: It's let's dance for ted; sizing john for robbie; yanworth for joseph; zabana for hugh and tombstone for leon
that's all from game on's cheltenham preview, all (hopefully) proceeds from charity bets to irish injured jockeys

ST ON THE CHAMPION HURDLE: "THIS IS THE WORST CHAMPION HURDLE THE NEW ONE HAS RUN IN, HE'S IN TREMENDOUS FORM AT HOME."
"BEEN JUMPING A LOT STRAIGHTER. NOT AS SHARP AS HE USED TO BE BUT HE WON'T HAVE TO BE AMAZING TO WIN THIS!"
"HE'S GOT GRADE 1 EXPERIENCE, GOES ON ANY GROUND AND HE HAS TO BE A GREAT EACH-WAY BET."
T: "THE NEW ONE CAN'T POSSIBLY BE OUT OF THE FIRST THREE. PEOPLE WANT TO KNOCK YANWORTH BUT HE KEEPS WINNING..."
JF: "I LIKE YANWORTH. IF THEY'VE GOT HIM RIGHT AND HE JUMPS HE'S GOT SOME ENGINE. SCEAU ROYAL COULD RUN WELL AT A BIG PRICE."
MC: "I REALLY LIKE BRAIN POWER IN THE RACE BUT YOU'D HAVE TO SAY NONE OF THESE LOOK LIKE REAL TOP CHAMPION HURDLERS."
MC: "PETIT MOUCHOIR COULDN'T WIN IF HE STARTED TODAY!"
ONTO CHAMPION CHASE...
JF PICKS SIR VALENTINO AS AN EACH-WAY SHOT, TRAINER BEEN IN GOOD FORM.
EVERYONE IN AGREEMENT THAT DOUVAN WINS, SWIFTLY ONTO THE SUPREME!
T: "IF MOON RACER DOESN'T RUN, THEN I'D GO WITH BALLYANDY. HE HAS MUCH BETTER FORM THAN MOST OF THESE."
ST: "BALLYANDY'S IN GREAT NICK AT HOME AND HOPEFULLY I'LL GET THE WEEK OFF TO A GOOD START! HE'S SCHOOLED WELL."
JF: "MOON RACER IS THE BEST HORSE IN THE RACE. EVERY TIME HE RUNS HE'S ALWAYS GOT EVERYTHING BEATEN. HE JUST DOES ENOUGH."
JF: "IF MOON RACER RUNS IN THE CHAMPION HURDLE I'LL BACK HIM THERE INSTEAD!"
MC: "WHEREVER NEON WOLF RUNS HE WINS." SUPREME AND NEPTUNE 50/50.
ST: "MASSIVE NEON WOLF FAN, WILL TAKE ALL THE BEATING." PRESUMING HE GOES NEPTUNE!
T: "FORM OF FINIAN'S OSCAR HASN'T GONE WELL. BUT MESSIRE DES OBEAUX CAN GO WELL AT A BIGGER PRICE. BEEN OVERLOOKED, LAST RUN SOLID."
JF: "BACARDYS IS A GOOD THING IN THE NEPTUNE. BATTLE HARDENED AND FINDS PLENTY OFF THE BRIDLE."
ONTO THE RSA... T:" MIGHT BITE IS NOT A WARRIOR BUT AT THE PRICE THE ONE TO TAKE ON FOR THE WEEK. HAVE TO BE ON SOFT SIDE BUT MY PICK IS..
"AMERICAN. A REAL CLASSY HORSE."
ST: "OUR KAEMPFER CAPABLE OF PUTTING UP A BIG RACE!"

MC: "I'D GO FOR WHISPER EACH-WAY..."
NOVICES HANDICAP CHASE... T: "TWO TAFFS HAS MANAGED TO GET IN, WELL HANDICAPPED ON HURDLES FORM. DAVY RUSSELL WILL RIDE HIM."

MC: "WORTH KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR TIGER ROLL IN THE NATIONAL HUNT CHASE OF THE GROUND IS DECENT AND NOT TOO SOFT."
CONVINCED SHE'S BEEN MASSIVELY OVERLOOKED FOR THIS. SHE'S A GRINDER. VERY TOUGH. I'M ON E/W.

T: "NATIVE RIVER HAS GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A GOLD CUP HORSE."
