    Same here, hopefully it gets pulled out of the Mares hurdle.

    Correct - Stormy Ireland will not take on Laurina. It will go for the Triumph or not at all.

    Potential plot job: SORT IT OUT @ 12/1 in the Pertemps (Will Hill, Sky Bet).

    Having been off for a year and a half, he has raced over fences against the likes of Petit Mouchoir, Footpad and Al Boum Photo, where he failed to impress on each occasion.

    He then ran in the Pertemps Network Group Handicap Hurdle, where he kept on well to finish third. This was a pretty impressive run, with a reversion back to hurdles and step up in trip looking to his benefit.

    Crucially, that race has produced both Pertemps winners in the last two years, in Presenting Percy (4th) and Mall Dini (3rd). Sort It Out showed real promise before his injury, finishing seconnd in the County Handicap Hurdle, and then beating subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Clondaw Warrior who is now rated 155.

    People talk about McManus plot jobs and it looks like this could be one of them. Hasn't crept under the radar by any means, but 12s is not too bad given it's eminently likely he'll shorten on the day.

    Betfair have enhanced Buveur D'Air to EVS NRNB in the Champion Hurdle for the next half an hour or so. Max stake £50.

    Best odds elsewhere about 8/15 https://www.oddschecker.com/cheltenham-festival/champion-hurdle/winner

    Been pulled now it seems, must've been hammered. You can still get Faugheen at 13/2 NRNB if you fancy that instead.

    So I’ve been told................

    My three ante post at very good prices:

    Stormy Ireland - Triumph
    Samcro - Ballymore
    Laurina - Mares Novice

    and a decent each-way on Bacardys for the Stayers (NRNB)

    Looking good at the moment but the best laid plots plans and all that ...

    A fun time killer. My knowledge isn't that encyclopaedic, so I'm finding it very tough, but some of you I'm sure will rocket through! http://betfair.reflectdigital.co.uk/game/find-50-horses

    Getabird and Un de Sceaux should both win their races given the expected going. Sub Lieutenant each way at a price for the Ryanair as he is likely to take his chance in preference to Balko des Flow for Gigginstown on a softer surface.

    Douvan runs in the Champion Chase rather than switching to the Ryanair and Ruby Walsh rides. Cheers RP

    Indeed - but it appears that this time they have put it up to the same amount for every day to £2.90 whereas previously it was £2.40 Mon - Fri and £2.70 Sat & Sun.

    Decent offers from William Hill and Ladbrokes on the first race. Can't see past Getabird in the conditions.

    check your Paddy Power accounts

    they've put £10k into a random account and loads of free bets into others.

    If the 10k isn't used or withdrawn (in part at least) within an hour the money is taken back and put into someone elses account.

    Free bets stay in the account.

    Worth a look

    Money back as a free bet in the 1st race everyday with Skybet if your horse loses £20 max.

    Coral doing money back on all losers in the Supreme Novices Hurdle. Worth a punt on an outsider?
