Start with an Obvious one , TopoftheGame . most likely to run in the R.S.A chase .
 
Clan des Obeaux - Winner of the King George chase at Kempton - Will he win the Gold cup in March .
 
Arkle - Dynamite Dollars - a little bit under rated perhaps, although hardly a wild price.
RSA - Topofthegame - an obvious chance, is in the mix for the RSA already before his next run.
Ryanair - Politilogue - an obvious chance with his form, but the niggles about the track won't go away before the day
Triumph - Quel Destin - has the best 4yo form we've seen so far in Britain
Gold Cup - Clan Des Obeaux - won the King George so deserves respect in the Gold Cup market, but I think will be outstayed.
Fred Winter - Close look at whatever he is running
Foxhunters - Close look at all 5 or 6 that he he runs


That about sums his festival up. He's an absolutely fantastic trainer, I'd always respect what he runs in any race, but his success is based around finding the right spots for his horses and they may well come up short at the Cheltenham Festival, where a lot if his peers are more focussed on.

Do I think Dynamite Dollars, Quel Destin, Politilogue will put in a seasonal best performance in March? NO
Topofthegame perhaps, being a staying chaser. Clan Des Obeaux perhaps, although will be hard to top the King George.
 
Posh Trish - Mares novice hurdle , Ibis du Rheu - Nat hunt chase , Dare say he'll have a few in the Handicaps too.
 
cat some what out the bag after yesterday but Grand Sancy his handicap plot horse , getting the experience in and when he stepped up in trip comes March .
And not seen enough of of Southfield Stone prior to yesterday , eyecatching run in 3rd , only his second race , expect him to improve again as season goes on. Defo one for next season , going to make some chaser.

Where would you see Grand Sancy line up?
 
Nicholls hasn't had a good Cheltenham in a long time, the stats suggest his horses are primed for earlier in the season and have peaked pre Cheltenham.
 
Oleg for the Fred Winter would be the one from this yard...looks a proper racehorse to me. Should be having its first run very shortly in this country.

He doesn't have the strength and depth he once did so I'd say 1/2 festival winners would be classed as a 'good Cheltenham'.

Bold shout.

Oleg would needs 2 more runs. After his single run in a minor race at pau. (Shares available)

Dogon qualifies (Potts family crazy to sell him for £90,000 he has very good form) I have 7.5% in him.

Deadline diva needs 1 more.

As would deniliquin

I agree Dogon was a helluva good buy and certainly finished off his race well last time out...good luck with this lovely looking gelding. Working back from the Fred Winter you are correct Oleg needs to get out in the next fortnight but I believe that is the plan. And I fancy his young sire Kamsin will in time produce plenty of good horses...as you know Adjali is one of his promising crop.
 
What about Getaway Trump for the supreme if he runs a race in the betfair he may well be about favourite??
