I’d be ducking the 3 shorties.
 
Wouldn’t have Footpad personally, think PM will reverse the form come Cheltenham.
 
Tuesday has historically had its' fair share of shorties, but with the 3m chase, the 2m 4f nov 'cap chase and the 4 miler the option for each way punters always exists...
 
Barney Dwan in the Ultima?

His 2nd in the Pertemps reads really well. His mark of 143 over fences is below his hurdle rating.

I really like his chances.

Not my choice obviously...but I'd strongly suggest a "rule" where we ignore anything odds on for this day...

Personally I don't need anything else on the shorties as we've known about them for a while.
 
:highly_amused: ill have to cover this now

You'll never get 2m from it mayo, 2m Venezeulan Bolivars maybe....
 
Saint Calvados in the Arkle:devilish: I think he's 100/1
 
I'll pronounce now I'll be avoiding the shorties. Surely everyone who wants to be on is on by now

:encouragement::cool:A good decision in my incredibly humble opinion.

Elegant Escape in he ran in the 4 miler.... obviously won't know until nearer the time but jono made his case for him and he looks a stayerrrr to me
 
On a day where we might have to get adventurous against the hot-pots I’d make the case for John Constable in w/o BVD market at 20/1. Been trained for 1 thing all year, comes good in the spring, and behind BVD it’s all up for grabs.
 
The day's racing

1:30 Supreme Novices Hurdle 2 miles and abt half a furlong
2:10 Racing Post Arkle Trophy about 2 miles

If its an E/W yankee I a second this at 50/1 with most bookies..
 
Monbeg Notorious - N.H.Chase @ 10-1 ?.
 
What date are weights out? Entries this week isn't it for handicaps? There was a good festival media pack floating around last year which was useful but don't seem to be able to locate it for this year as of yet. Good if you looking for one for the Yankee

Have to be careful with the "betting without" markets as not everybody will have access to the market...

Last year the media pack was issued 1 March, it's posted on the Cheltenham website.
I could be wrong but I think it will be 28th Feb this year
