    Good luck for Cheltenham all of you (genuine, no hidden meaning).

    Outsiders I like are First Flow 1.30, Cogry 2.50, Sizing Tennessee 4.50 and Demi Sang 5.30.

    I do quite like Apples Jade, Buveur D'Air and Footpad - already had them AP so I have a little more value than current prices - but they're justifiably opposable today.

    Careful now, you're going the right way about getting an abuse flag ;)

    Now arrived at Cheltenham. Slightly disappointing first day card for me, perhaps partly due to the weather - only 5 in the Arkle, Buveur D'air hard to oppose in the Champion Hurdle, Apple's Jade likely odds on winner in the Mares race. Looking for some value today.

    1:30 Kalashnikov
    2:10 Saint Calvados
    2:50 Cogry
    3:30 Wicklow Brave - ew
    4:10 La Bague Au Roi - ew
    4:50 No Comment
    5:30 Testify

    A mate just messaged me saying he gets "Flash Odds" notifications from Will Hill, where they price boost for 15 mins a day at noon.

    Today it was Petit Mouchoir to win the 2.10 Cheltenham. "Was 10/3 now 5/1" still wouldn't touch that with a barge pole! Hahahahaha
  • First flow for me also.

    First flow for me also.

    I've done this also, so fingers crossed we are all rooting for the same one. Essentially a free bet so have only gone based on here :)

    Is the ground going to hamper the favourites or are they all proven on soft/heavy ground.

    Just gonna lump the most tipped ones on here in a lucky 31 or something similar.

    Probably why Brian Gleeson jumped in pretty sharpish !

    "Horses don't win Supremes making mistakes like that, do they?"

    Does point toward the renewal's slight lack of strength tbf.

    Shame First Flow screwed it - seemed a bit spooked or something over a few of those round the back...

    Shite. The amount of times I've had a horse done on the line going up that hill is a joke .

    Not too shabby. Thought I might've been quids in before they reached the last.

    Getabird pulled too hard but not quite sure why David Bass wanted to take him on with Final Flow. Perhaps he wanted to make it an even bigger test than it was likely to be anyway.
