Cheltenham Handicap Shortlists

Gordy got a few handicap entries for Cheltenham on Saturday. Just fishing to see the marks with no intention of running?
 
Bearing in mind gordon's entries for cheltenham on saturday. To see what mark they get.
I'll be looking at the ratings at 7am in the morning.
Might be worth adding one or two. where theres gaps on oddschecker.

Gun Runner - Brown advisory
Ben dundee - Close brothers.
Dallas des pictons - M Pipe, maybe coral cup
Eclair de beaufea - as above

my best guesses
Blow by blow, hopefully rated below 145 and then it's blue oddschecker for kim muir.

Gun digger could be Kim Muir id have thought. He looks like he wants further than 2 1/2 and ran him over shorter to handicap him.

I could be wrong.
 
Could be worth hedging your bets tonight with 365, I wonder how quick they will be to react to pushing any horses out

Fairly sure Gordon already knows Blow by blow rated below 145, as far as I know they can call him up and ask.
But we'll find out tomorrow.
Gun runner looks more progressive I'd say which would usually suggest the brown advisory, given a strong pace the trip won't matter and they'll step up next year.
But I is guessing also.

any help adding Gun runner appreciated.
Think they're on to me now with a couple.
 
Gun runner would be a very interesting runner.
Gun Digger obviously, as Scooby said.:p
anyone get him priced for the brown advisory would be useful.

Certainly would be.. maybe they copied plumpton and put a bonus up for the pegasus / win any race at chelt.

They can ring up and ask. So looks very likely especially with the cut.

Tizzard said: "We've seen things (from him) today that we haven't seen before. He powered away like a real stayer.

"He is a relation to Dubacilla, and that's why I bought him - she was a Gold Cup and Grand National horse.

"He has just developed into a proper stayer, so we will try to set him up for a race at Cheltenham.

"He will get in the handicaps at Cheltenham. He is bound to go up at least six or seven pounds for winning 13 lengths, so we can't talk about anything less.

"We were only talking beforehand the dream was to have a Cheltenham runner - and he is a beautiful, young, staying horse."

Skybet inserted him as fav for Ultima. Ouch.
 
If Gordy already had the nod from the handicapper why enter him up?

Just playing Devil’s advocate mind. I would love to see BBB <146

That's a good point, but I'm certain they can call. But looks like Gordon don't like to do that.
The mark is good news for four miler backers.
Wasn't coming up on BHA site when I checked, but assume scooby has managed to get it from somewhere.

Playing it safe with Blow By Blow and blocking his route to the Kim Muir.

Can still go for the plate as I suggested in a couple of threads. On all known form it's the right trip too. Only 1lb higher than The Storyteller last year also, who won it for Elliott.

I would personally say he needs 3m+ so if he goes the handicap route, I’d say the 3m handicap on day one is more likely.
