Cheltenham 2017

[Hiber-nation]

Right Yanworth, let's see what you're made of....could be a struggle.

[Hiber-nation]

Struggle all right!!

[lord bunberry]

First winner of the meeting for me. I stuck my £20 free bet that I got for melon losing the first on it at 11/2.

[lord bunberry]

Limini here for me.

Ruby doesn't look too happy early on. Gave a slap on the neck after the 2nd.

[Treadstone]

Yes Apples. Recouping Triumph losses from last year.

[Liam89]

BigBadJohn in the next.

[ekhibee]

Altior won, fairly comfortably in the end I suppose. People who are comparing him to Sprinter Sacre will have to wait a bit, because on that performance he wouldn't come anywhere near Sprinter Sacre. Still a very good horse though.

[lord bunberry]

Finished the day level with just the 1 winner. The bookies had the better of things today. I'll miss most of the racing tomorrow as I'm heading down on the train. Really looking forward to being there on Thursday and Friday, it's my favourite trip of the year.

[HibernianJK]

Can't see Neon Wolf getting beat tomorrow and obviously Douvan.

I like Modus in the Coral Cup. The step up in trip did the trick the last time and his top weight is negated by Stan Sheppards 5lb claim. I also like Quantitiveeasing in the Cross Country as he normally runs well now at about 10s.

In the Bumper I've had a tip for Debuchen. But personally I like Cause Toujours but small stakes in that and the Handicaps.

Agree with Neon Wolf and Modus. On both tomorrow. Our Kaempfer and Sausalito Sunrise each way for me and also Dolos in the Fred Winter.

Not touching the Champion, just going to enjoy the spectacle and hopefully Douvan puts on a performance.

[pontius pilate]

I've got
God's own
royal vacation
Any currency
Dream catcher
all on e/w double and treble they all are between 10/1-16/1 I'm hoping I at least get two in. It's the thrill I suppose

[ekhibee]

£5 each-way treble:

1.30 Willoughby Court
2.50 Peregrine Run
4.50 Dino Velvet

[Treadstone]

Will have something on Whisper. Davy Russell in 3m novice chase. Yes please. Neon Wolf put up big at preview night.

OO Seven

Domperignon du Lys
Carter McKay

Done a treble on

Tin Soldier
Divin Bere
Cause Toujours

All e/w

[Treadstone]

Bloodbath!!

[ekhibee]

Wow, didn't see that coming! If I'd been having a bet on the race I would have taken Special Tiara e/w on the ground, but Douvan's run was too bad to be true. Still, it's not like he was pulled up or anything, so it'll be interesting to hear what comes out in the next couple of days. All credit to Special Tiara though, wears his heart on his sleeve, and a brilliliant ride by Fehily.

[HibernianJK]

Just watched the RSA for the first time!!! WOW. What a rollercoaster of emotions for the backers of the 1st and 2nd. ew treble saved my day and keeps me a float for the week.

[Hiber-nation]

Worst first 2 days ever for me, need to take 1 race at a time tomorrow!

Will see how Yorkhill gets on before considering any more Mullins horses but definitely having a wee wager on Top Notch.

Same here. I'm a big fan of Yorkhill, but the way their horses have been running anything's possible. If he'd stuck to hurdling he'd be a stick-on for the Stayers Hurdle but over fences, who knows.

[Treadstone]

This 6/4 Yorkhill looks massive in a poor field however I can't get that schooling session out of my head the other day.

Conflicted.

I've plumped for Top Notch.

Yorkhill is good but I'm not sure his form stands up to a great deal of scrutiny. Again it's good but not great. Last years Neptune form isn't brilliant, struggled home at Aintree then beaten at Punchestown. Not beaten much over fences this year either.

He could well prove me wrong but I think that's key, he has to prove it.

Would have one too with a jump 2 out. Can't believe people are touting Yorkhill as a Gold Cup horse. Miles away in my eyes. Better day for punters today. UNWIMH to solidify that.

Unowhatimeanharry will save my week hopefully.

On known form should be a banker.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I backed the FAV, have a look at the start, there was about 10 lengths covering the field when the starter let them go, it was a nonsense. Not sure it made much difference to UNWIMH though.

[HibernianJK]

This isn't going to plan at all.

[ekhibee]

Got a wee short price treble up on a Lucky 15, Yorkhill, Un De Sceaux and Let's Dance. Still waiting on What's Happening in the last for a wee e/w double with Baron Alco.

[Treadstone]

Had Defi du Seuil as a cert tomorrow but heard there has been Lambourn money and lots of it for Charli Parcs.
