The million dollar question. Taking away any book bias you may have. Which horses are you most confident about in 2.5 weeks time?

Despite everything, I'm actually mad keen on Jonbon? I don't really know why. But I feel he's gonna Tank along and outbattle El Fabs

Been really struggling going back to the football after losing dad, but had ended up ignoring my pals. Went back to my first game since October today. Rewarded with a dismal 3-1 defeat.

On the plus it was our Draft FPL dinner from last season. Bottom half pay for top half at Tayyabs. I suck at draft so lay every year, but got a carry home of uneaten chops. We started at midday though so I'm bloody banjaxed. Reckon Jonbon wins, and despite being my worst position, I'm really coming round to Blood Destiny
 
….no idea about confidence in any. I cashed in a 28-1 Blazing Kahl voucher & don’t have him covered at all which I really regret, I can see that coming back to hurt. I’m more hopeful than confident on everything really.

robith Its like learning to riding a bike mate, fall off you get back on. Time heals.
 
paddy power have selected horses priced up for selected races in the specials , i don't think there are actual races with runners listed
 
i think you start getting next years prices from other bookies around the start of the Festival

Yeah I see that, thanks though
…..The Fellow, one of my favourites, absolute class and great jumper. Reckon had it been decent ground would have gone very close in that national
 
So Rory Delargy writes the Banker or Bust sections in the Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Guide and he's gones as follows;

Day 1
Facile Vega - Bust
Honeysuckle (mares hurdle) - Bust

Day 2
Gerri Colombe - Banker
Edwardstone - Banker

Day 3
Luccia - Bust
Teahupoo - Bust

Day 4
Embassy Gardens - Bust
Jeremy's Flame - Banker

He's put up a few outsiders too, one definitely had his bubble burst yesterday though.

Haddex des Obeaux - Arkle
Willmount - Bumper
Liberty Dance - Mares novice
Scriptwriter - Triumph

Edwardstone banker is bold!

Jeremy's Flame as a banker is bold too :indecisiveness:


Haddex des Obeaux non runner
Scriptwriter bust already



Highlights how hard it is to predict even a few weeks out :onthego:
