1.30 Hermes Allen 2.10 The Real Whacker- won 2.50 Run for Oscar 3.30 Edwardstone 4.10 Delta Work - won 4.50 Andy Dufresne 5.30 A Dream to Share - won
3 winners yesterday but Gutted because I wrote 2 options down for each race before selecting my Super Heinz 7. The ones I passed on were: 1.30 Impaire Et Pass - won 2.50 Langer Dan - won 3.30 Energumene - won 4.50 Final Orders - placed
Anyone estimate what those 6 winners and a place would have paid out On my 5p e/w SH stake?
I have pretty much had an up and down week so far, but still not deposited (partly due to winning footy bets to be honest)
Today looks a tough one but i'll post hopefully for a bit of luck, don't follow as i generally don't do well on the horses, i am off tomorrow to the pub with mates so just be pleased again if i don't lose whats in there

The increased number of races and horses being diverted away in preference rather than in addition to Aintree/Punchestown has, from a punting perspective, made it easier to find winners, especially in the non handicaps. That isn't, necessarily, a good thing in my opinion because it has had the effect of diminishing the competitiveness of Cheltenham. And that is what Cheltenham used to be to me. Sometimes less is more and the various calls to add a fifth day to the Festival aren't going to help the overall competitiveness.
I have bolded all the SPs of those that returned at 3/1 or less for each year:

Give me the prices of the 7 and I'll work it out for you - if you really want to know!!!!
Good luck @northstandsteve today with Stage Star. He’s got my money in the opener.
And mine. Just cannot get excited about Mighty Potters victory last time out. Adamantly Chosen (who it beat by 8 lengths) didn't exactly bolster that form (7th to The Real Whacker yesterday).
Hadn’t been paying attention and missed @northstandsteve’s post about Stage Star. Well done sir! Great performance there. I had Notlongtilmay e/w at 40s so have started day 3 well 👍🏻
