Handicap Shortlist - Cheltenham 2020

Yes hes on my short list for a handicap, I know before he made his debut last season they thought he was the best juvenile that theyd had at the yard but things obviously didnt work out, watch him closely tomorrow, wouldnt surprise me if he won tomorrow, but id rather he "protek-ted" his mark

Puntastic work there Billy :highly_amused:
 
Thank you some of my best work!!! Ive just had him added to WHill any race 25/1
 
Going to back Column Of Fire today.

Will be annoyed with myself if he picked up a win after spending so much time looking at him being 'plotted'.

Made that mistake with Dortmund Park in this race previously so won't chance it again

Hope you backed him today mate, that’s blown his mark!

:rolleyes: Sorry CoF
 
Jackie Moon & Billymag, great tipping for Protekerat, appreciate the information. That’s the first time I’ve had the first winner in a card for a few weeks so very happy. I hope you were both onboard and backed him......who knows I may finally be up at 5pm after a dreadful festive period!!
 
Done it TWAR. What will its target be we reckon?

I won’t take any credit as, although I thought the horse is better than he’d shown, I actually thought they were using today to keep his mark reasonable.

Should still be around the 140 mark though, after that.
Which I'd say they'd be happy with

Fingers crossed although they may want to aim higher (although probably not a great race today)

If you look at their ratings, it was a 140 performance at best. Unless handicapper surprises !

And he was probably trying today due to the opposition's ratings, as a win was never going to hurt that much, from a mark point of view.

He's of interest for the county and coral for sure.

I think the step up suited so I’d be looking Coral or Pipe.
 
Very unlucky, looked like he was going to win that

Yeah, I thought so too.

Not ideal to be off his feet if that was indeed his final run before the festival BUT I still maintain he's well handicapped :)
 
Think Scooby mentioned Shattered Love only needed to drop a couple of lbs to come into handicap consideration, I think she will drop a couple for that and have taken a huge chance and taken her at 27.6/1 with the boost for any race with WH
 
Never back anything for Handicaps AP these days as you always get enhanced prices on day plus up to 8 places. Always had a very successful/profitable time doing Ew doubles during the week by picking a banker ew in one HCP race and doubling this up with three big Ew selections in a second HCP race giving 3 Ew cross doubles.

Well we'll look forward to these selections on the day and people can follow you in.

Personally feel though that if your relying on 8th to win some money you're probably on the wrong horse ... but it's better to be lucky than good :victorious:

Had the Pertempts winner (banker) last year with the winner of Kim Muir and 2 placed horses in same race picking up on all 3 Ew cross doubles paying over £900. Not always as good as that but a great bet nonetheless.
 
Has off you go been given a hcap mark yet? Thanks in advance

Yes, well when favourites oblige its usually a good day for ante post and on the day punters alike.
