Gutted that I’m not there this year.
Last years seems such a long time ago now!

Still studying the form but at the moment it looks like these small fields are going to favour quite a few short priced favourites.

Just 8 runners in the Supreme Novices hurdle for the opener is just odd. Agree mate.

I’ve ended up with 3 horses in that , 2 free bets and a stake that got me £35 worth of free bets . None of them will win I expect.
 

I'd be down in Cheltenham tonight in a normal year, quaffing the Guinness and puting the final
touches to my betting strategy for tomorrow. First time in 20 years I have not been. Missing
it big time. I'm looking for a bit of each way value this year and giving the odds on horses a swerve.
 
Cheltenham fancies, I posted this in the horse racing page but may aswell post in here,

Some value bets as the main fancies the prices are away

Champion hurdle, Goshen (10/3) - owes me big time for last year, i know he has to give honeysuckle and Epante 7lbs but think he’s the best horse in the race, way he won at wincanton, I’ve also had a decent bet on Epante after fighting 5th, if honeysuckle wins fair play.

National hunt, Remastered (9/1), cracking EW bet, made all at Ascot, good jumper

Coral cup, got 3 in the race,
Thomas Darby (14/1) - top weights have decent record in this, good Cheltenham form and last year demolished song for someone giving him 7lb, only up 2lb higher

Botox has (11/1) - again very good Cheltenham form beat allmankind over hurdles and has been trained for this race

Monte Cristo (12/1) - hasn’t ran since st Stephen’s day were he won by 7l so will be fresh, gone up 12lbs but think he deserves it.

Ballymore hurdle, Bravemansgame (3/1) - Really impressive when he beat Star Gate at Newbury and Paul Nichols compared him with Denman so that’s good enough for me.

Grand Annual, Zanza (8/1) - last time out going easily fell 3 out at Cheltenham, I think would’ve won, not run since been kept on same mark 144, winner Sky Pirate has gone up 18lbs and 2nd ibleo gone up 17lbs and zanza been trained for this really think got decent chance.

Champion Bumper, Sir Gerhard (15/8) - unbeaten in 3 starts, I know Kilcruit win was visually impressive but just think at race at leopardstown fell apart, three stripe life is a danger aswell, it’s a bumper so can never really can tell, ive got Sir Gerhard at a much bigger price

Pertemps hurdle final, Come On Teddy (10/1) - imperial Alcazar has to give him 8lbs,for the last race but cruised the race before so don’t get price difference and will definitely be in frame I think.

Kim Muir Challenge cup, Time TO Get up (5/1) - back him at much bigger price when fav was still in now a NR, so probably not best value but should go well.

Triumph Hurdle, Zanahyir (7/4) - couldn’t understand why zanahyir was joint fav for so long with Tritonic, but now the prices are closer to where they should be just think he’s a better horse and I think he’ll win.

Gold Cup, A Plus Tard ( 5/1) - don’t think Al Boum Photo will win, won’t take anything away 2 cups in a row but think this a better race to last 2 , A plus Tard beat Chacun Pour Soi fav for champion chase over 2m, If rain comes would maybe bet Native Rive or Royale Pagaille

Also the ‘bankers’ but prices have gone but wouldn’t put you off.

Just my thoughts so don’t shoot the messenger n hopefully get few winner, don’t let me put you off backing anything else.

3 bets for me today, 1.55 Shishkin 1/2 / 3.40 Concertista 11/8 double, 3.05 Goshen 7/2 and 4.50 Remastered EW 6/1.

happy Cheltenham all, be lucky and let’s smash the bookies.
 

 
Ladbrokes and Paddy Power are both doing £5 free bets for today, with the latter you need to deposit via bank or Apple Pay to claim

Used my Ladbrokes freebie to do an each way acca on all 7 races which, if it comes in, could land me £2200. Even if 3 come in I could easily cash out for a decent amount. My picks are

Appreciate It
Shishkin
Happygolucky
Honeysuckle
Concertista
Saint Sam
Next Destination
 
Meiter - EW (Grumpy Charlie as an EW longshot)
Allmankind - Win
Milan Native - EW (Franco De Port as an EW longshot)
Honeysuckle - Win (Not So Sleepy as an EW longshot)
Roksana - Win (Indefatigable as an EW longshot)
Coltour & Cabot Cliffs - both EW
Remastered - EW.

Good luck & happy punting to all!
