Cheltenham: The International Meeting

With Kansas City Chief I fell into the "too old" trap yet it was weighted to end level with Onagatheringstorm - you live and learn, but a great result for the "amateur" connections from Jersey
 
Was counting my money on botox has turning in

Sums up the day that he didnt get past

We go again tomorrow, can't for the life of me see midnight shadow not running a big race again

Surely fills a place at the worst
 
Some firms go 3 places in the international hurdle

Can see heaven help us running well at the track she loves

12s very fair getting the weight, which she wouldn't be getting in a handicap off most of the field
 
Fusil Raffles stands out for me, but blue everywhere suggests Pricewise picks him.
Rain due to hit the course around race time so ground shouldn't be an issue.
Will see where prices are in the morning...

Id completely agree

If it wasn't fusil raffles I'd be lumping on

Second season chaser off 152 finished second in the marsh

Should be a certainty i just dont like fusil raffles haha
 
Quite like Cepage at 20/1 (or 18/1, 4 places) with 365 for the 1.50. Pulled up in the race last year but I've always liked him more at the intermediate trip and I'll give him another go tomorrow.
 
Can't believe I'm going to side with a Henderson for a handicap like this, but that March form is and could continue to work out well and feel that this race has normally been out of Henderson's reach due to the going

Fusil Raffles (8/1) backed

Midnight Shadow could run well again, despite the 7lbs. Bad jump a last, and potentially idling up the hill. I'll be backing him as I do like to follow PPGC winners/place horses for this

Fusil Raffles @ 8/1 and Heaven Help Us @ 10/1 both stand out as simply the wrong price. Done both and doubles.
 
Patient Dream @ 6/1
Bun Doran @ 10/1
Fusil @ 8/1
Heaven Help Us @ 10/1
 
Sirah du lac , Beakstown and Farinet for the big race for me , had silver hallmark but n/r. ...... haven't got a scooby. :confused::confused::dejection:.

He’s a decent each way price Kev, the only thing I’d say is I think he is in there to keep Farinets weight as low as possible, with him taking top weight with Dashel a n/r.

If he wasn’t running Farinet would have another 3lbs to carry, obviously he’ll run his race but that’s what I’d be wary of with them both being Venetias.

Not at all confident with these selections... but hey yo


13:15 - Backing two...
Torpillo - a big ask, over 600 days off the track but has won on both occasions when turning up fresh - over 200 days. He' coming here today on 138, which is 8lbs less than beating Mister Fisher as a 4 year old and 6lbs less than his hurdle mark. Found it tough that season, like most juveniles. Now 6, would imagine he'd have grown in size. 11/1

Amoola Gold - drifting, 12/1. Will back now and then may back it in running. I like horses that have ran well over at Ascot at start of the season. Stays well over 2 miles


Fusil Raffles being smashed in this morning. Could do the double green's have a good day, Sceau Royal has a change aswell :smiley_simmons:, I've put the 3 of them in a place acca

Yeah, havent got a clue today lol :monkey:

Just backed Deyrann De Carjac at 19/1, and 12/1 without Midnight Shadow and Fusil Raffles. feels like its taken King a few races to get this horse right. Ran from off the pace in the PPGC, hoping that has made him sharper, along with being down 4lbs and running over the new course could bring improvement. Just think he's well handicapped if he can repeat the form from his novice chase season
 
The money for Guard your dreams and Heaven Help us seems odd to me.
I know it's the new course and slightly longer than 2 miles, but still.
Can kind of see the Heaven Help us angle, if you believe her rating ?

Looks like Song for Someone should be the bet as the pace will likely be decent and this won't suit sceaux royal.

5pts 3-1

smaller bets for fun today on
patient dream 7-1 2pt
Notre Pari 7-1 2pt
barony legends 7-1 2pt

And I backed Beakstown 1.5ptew 14-1 & Farinet 2pt 16-1 in last few days.

saver on Midnight shadow double with blazing khan. Cos i'f be annoyed if he won again after doing me a turn last time.
 
12.05 Interne di Sivola (connected to the Fils d'or form) e/w Keepyourdreaming (just seems a big price for a Murphy horse with good form)
12.40 My Drogo (not to bet on!)
1.15 Amoola Gold
1.50 Fusil Raffles/Coole Cody/Beakstown (Farinet needs softer imo)
2.25 Blazing Khal
3.0 Heaven Help Us (can make all and make it a test of stamina)
3.35 Trapista/Martello Sky - usually don't like 4-y-os in this kind of race but this one could be very well handcapped
 
$%?&ing brilliant. Coole Cody ran on when he won the Paddy Power in 2019 and he did it again, Brilliant! 12/1 such a good price.
