To Win at DRF & Cheltenham Festival

I get the felling that connections think they have a proper horse with this one and the market support for tomorrow in such a deep race is telling. Agreed that the trip is a slight worry and the application of a first time hood doesn't exactly encourage you with the extra distance but I'm hoping it can settle mid div and then pass the stayers with the minimum of fuss at the end.
If you already have it locked away for the Ballymore then fine but for late comers I think the 16s is a touch of value.

Had a free bet with boyles on Honeysuckle and CH 16s! Didn't want to do it, but something in back of my mind told me too!

I'm not keen on the 'today' race and at the Festival approach. I think it's a good way to line the bookies satchels.

Surely a better approach is just to back what you fancy today. Let's say Ashdale Bob who was available at 10/1. Isn't it better to back him today and then decide if you want to back him at the Festival? He's 12/1 nrnb at the Festival, and was availbale at 10/1 today. If he wins today, what price does he go. 5/1, 6/1? If you still fancy him just back him nrnb with today's winnings for a bigger return.
 
Well played doc:angel:
