Ballymore Novice hurdle
Is Samcro the second coming of Jesus Christ or just a horse? We will find out on this day. I've laid it but it does look a hell of a beast.

Champion Chase. As above, I've laid Altior and nobody needs telling how impressive that animal is but anything can hit a fence and 4/6 is a shit price.

Cross Country Chase. Josies Orders 7/1 (currently 11/2 with any NRNB firms)

I agree, it looks a hell of a horse but at those odds is it worth backing?
I like the look of TOWER BRIDGE who is beautifully bred, but i'd want the sun shining and ground drying if it's to get close to Samcro. Betting suggests the the official going on the opening day will be soft so i'll be praying for no rain Tuesday night.
I'm not sure what bet (or size of bet i'll have here but i'll definitely be on), whether it'll be a straight each way bet @ 25/1 or without Samcro, each way at 16/1.
 
For the Bumper, Blackbow and RHINESTONE had the rest of the field well beat in a grade 2 flat race at Leopardstown last month and that's the form line i'm following for this race, with preference for Rhinestone reversing the places @ 8/1.

Been pulled out. I would imagine Aintree has to be the target now.

All declared to run
 
1.30 Next Destination / Mind's Eye (ew)
2.10 Monalee / Dounikos (ew)
2.50 Diamond King
3.30 Douvan
4.10 Cause if Causes (5/1 antepost)

Good luck everybody

:beet
 
2.10 - ALLYSON MONTERG - Lightly raced 8yo who is capable of fair form. Tough ask here on only 2nd start over fences, but 6th in the Albert Bartlett in 2016 and does go on the ground, so no forlorn hope at 50's

3.30 - ORDINARY WORLD - Plenty to find with Altior, but remains a useful sort. 9 runners so not a bad race for an EW bet and capable of placing at 66's

4.50 - KNIGHT DESTROYER - Stable often find improving handicappers for the festival and even has a decent chance on bare form to date. Last time's 3rd to APPLE'S SHAKIRA reads well and won't mind the better ground today. Certainly one of the more interesting sorts at 25's

5.30 - DASHEL DRESHER - Rare Bumper winner for this trainer on debut and did beat a fair sort into 2nd. Impossible to know if that form is good enough, but we at least know he goes on the ground at 50's
 
Good luck chaps.

RHINESTONE is my main hope today. I'd take a place if i was offered it now.

Other E.W. bets include...

1.30 - DUC DES GENIEVRES
2.10 - MONALEE
2.50 - MISCHIEVOUS MAX
3.30 - POLITOLOGUE
 
Next Destination
ew vison des flos and scarpitat or whatever it is

RSA AB Photo and Dounikos

Will fill others in later but fancy Barra ew in 250
 
Well that was fucking shit. Got Style De Garde ew to salvage some coin back and free 20 quid bet from sky for 1st loser but a day to forget.

Samcro, Percy and Altior were just too obvious and too short for my liking.

Nice to get at least one winner

I did have the intention of using this market to trade throughout the meeting, before it started the three 'runners' were priced at around 1.7, 3.5 and 9.0. I couldn't see there not being at least one winner at bigger than 25/1, especially with the heavy ground, so ruled out the bottom option. I thought the value lay with the middle option (28/1 or 33/1) and got £20 matched at 3.8.

I thought that with this being Cheltenham and the colossal amount of money being matched on Betfair that there would be plenty of 'in-running' money, or at least plenty there in between each days racing, but no, there's fuck all there, so I guess I'll have to let it ride. There was a 33/1 winner today so I just have to get through the next two days with no winner returning at 40/1 or bigger :p
 
Could go right to the last race as well Seen. I seem to remember there have been some strong runs from some big prices in years gone by
