JuanMa 1/2 to gain his revenge?:think

 

On Long Run for Cheltenham 5/2 9/4 & 2-1(NRNB).
Hope Kauto runs to push it back out to 2-1 and I will invest more.

Seen Alan Kings stable tour on Racingpost, says Vendor has a handy mark for the festival and he has not run him to protect it.
Could be a tip in itself, he thinks it's working as well as Grumeti and Balder Succes both who are going for a higher class race at the festival.

Can't wait for the festival.

 

I'm not too sure about the gold cup. No horse fills me with confidence. Weak race, will probably have a small punt on something e/w come race day...

 

Paul Appleby v Stephen Ormond. Thoughts on Ormond at 2/1?

 

I think he takes it, in a war mind.

 

Had it much much closer myself, something like 4/7 Appleby. Juanma at 8/13 is a steal as well

 

Out of interest how do you price Kirkland (4/9) and Garcia (1/2)

 

Anderson & Macklin to win any method 34/1

worth a fiver:think

 

juanma risky

 

Yeah I think it's weak this year and it's why I think Long Run is a very good bet.
Kauto Star has beaten him twice over 3m on flat fast tracks, the extra 2.5f and hill will come into full effect.
If Kauto does not run they will probably let Grands Crus take it's chance, It didn't beat much last time out (although easily won) and I have a doubt about it's stamina over the gold cup trip.
I can't see anything else in the race troubling it, Midnight Chase might be worth an E/way shout but barring a terrible mistake I can't see past it.

On the drift to 7/4 at paddy power now, almost time to row back in!

 

Yeah your right, I don't see kauto troubling long run, didn't do it last year as an 11 year old will mostly not do it this year. Midnight Chase is the ew I have my eye on. That and medermit, if it runs..only small interest, this is far from the race of the week.

Midnight Chase loves the course and has a good place chance, Medermit I would have as a doubtful stayer but it's weak race outside the fav so could do a job at a decent price.

Not got many fancies so far, Long Run, Vendor & Sir Des Champs looking like my bets. Will wait to see how the other races cut up.

If the Fly is 10/11 or better(not bloody likely!) I might jump on that.

 

I have 50 on hurricane at 7-4 since before Christmas. In hindsight I should of put 100 on, but anything could of happened the horse between then and now..
