No Nina this time around :(

He did beat Burning Ambition in Feb over 3m1f in heavy ground - although BA looked to not stay at Chelt over 3m2f (memory only!) ...

I have backed Gilgamboa at 14s but really hard division to get a handle on for me!

Chances are, if this is one of the more fancied JP runners in the race then Codd or O'Connor will get the leg up which would be a massive positive, that said, I agree, probably not a race to get overly excited about just yet.
 
My next Sky "free bets" will go on Danny Kirwan for the Supreme at 33/1 (best price with Sky).

Nicholls is going to start him over 2m, and I expect him to put that Aintree run way behind him and him to be a HUGE player this season. I absolutely love this horse, I want him to be absolutely top class, and I think in time he'll stay further and run over further but for now he's one of the horses that the stamina test of the end-to-end gallop of the Supreme may suit more than the Ballymore trip (as upside down as that may sound)

He's 14's Any Race... and you can boost that slightly with WH.... but I like to use free bets on things I KNOW would dramatically shorten. The Ballymore is the more obvious target for him at this stage... but if he did run in the Supreme he wouldn't be near 33/1 - so seems a perfect spot to use free bets in my ever so humble opinion
 
John Rahm finally gets a win the Ryder Cup so I’ve got an extra £5 free bet with william Hill aswell as sky’s tomorrow

William Hill
New Orleans Saints to beat the Giants inplay (10/11) and Energumene to win the bumper (50/1)

Skybets
Gilgamboa to win the fox hunters (14/1) - brings me to to £20 on the horse and the race fully covered until the day of the race
 
4/1 Altior to go unbeaten doesn’t stand out as massive value but I think Hendo will have learnt from Sprinter Sacres issues following his Spring treble and he’ll keep Altior to max 4 runs this season.
Not a huge return for a free fiver but have topped up and might well continue on this path until something new appears...
 
The Cracking Smart for any race price at 14s looks very decent to me. That’s this weeks free bet too.

I like the idea of Cracking Smart any race. He will make a great chaser!

I agree.

My only concern is the record of horses, injured during the previous season to then miss the festival and comeback the next the season to win.

Can't think of many off the top of my head?

Haha.... best man at the wedding, handed over all his accounts and we're going 50 50 on everything I put on the Festival this year, he's sick of me doing a bit better than him last few years and I'm sick of celebrating by myself... haha!
 
I think Sky are easing off their free bets offers.
Haven't seen a football one for a while and they've removed the first race free bet if your horse is placed and replaced it by paying out on the second as a winner, obviously to much reduced stakes.

Can't say I'm surprised, I have over £1k free bets already on Cheltenham all gained since last seasons festival, and there will be plenty more like me....
