We could try and agree a lucky 15 for each day. Actually pick 2 a win and each way.

For some reason I don't really think so!!

As with the majority of people I reckon Tuesday will be the best day for the Irish (winners wise) and therefore the probably the best day for Irish punters.

A lot of this is subject to Dunguib coming in as some people nearly have the house on him.

My advice would be to follow the Irish on day one (we could possibly have 4 winners on Tuesday).

I've a good feeling about Nenuphar Collonges in the William Hill, great course form, not a bad weight and should run well at a big price. Each way of course.

Captain Cee Bee for the Arkle.

corny

Tidal Bay for the World Hurdle.

Yeh definitely agree. Last year I had an amazing tuesday, a good wednesday, a bad thursday and a bo***x of a friday!

We have a chance of going through the card on the Tuesday and four winners looks a very reasonable expectation - which would be great!

Dungiub looks likely to win the first for us, we have real live chances of winning the arkle, we could have something sneaky in the william hill (although this looks the toughest of the day), we've some brilliant contenders in the champion hurdle and I'll be extremely surprised if an Irish horse doesnt win the x-county and the mares race!

Going to be a great first day to set us up for Paddy's day!!

Get in!

I know for me anyway Tuesday almost always determines how the festival is going to go for me...

All the talk about Dunguib is starting to make me wonder just how big I should go in on him. At one stage over the last for days I've considered sitting the race out and hitting the mares race hard instead. I know people say Dunguib's jumping might let him down but when you look at what he's up against it's very hard to make decent cases for any of the others to turn him over. If I was to oppose him I think I'd go with Menorah @ 12/1.

Champion Hurdle should be an Irish win all going well - I just can't decide which one at the moment. Go native should probably have the fire power to win. Although Hennessy is sweet on the chances of Sublimity - ground depending.

Garde Champtre will win the Cross Country and Quevega will win the mares race.

Personally I think Somersby will win the Arkle.

other than the Starluck connection with Prendergast - what is the rationale?

Drumbaloo has a great chance in the Bumper around 14/1

Have a tenner on him in Celtic and get a free single on any cheltenham race.

Nulty

MM-Dun-BB-KS @ 7.3/1

brandon_flowers

OK my certs are.....
Dunguib in the Supreme Novices
Quevaga in the Mares hurdle
Kauto in the GC

Horses I fancy are
Weapons Amnesty in the RSA Chase on Wednesday
Big Zeb (e/w) in the QM
Sizing Europe in the Arkle (love/hate relationship)
Cooldine e/w if 12/1 became available

Really looking forward to it now................

Knobs

Duinguib Banker of festival- He gets beat alot of people going to be in trouble but IMO will win, tank

Captain Cee Bee- like the look of this horse, had Sizing europe down for arkle but think Captain Cee Bee is the one to beat. Has won at chelters before.
at 6/5 to place on betfair, Big bet here for me

DrumBaloo- Have got good word for this one, win and place bets (Betfair)
Old Charm-Little Dabble on this one if he goes for bumper, same yard as duinguib


Go Native- My personal choice for CH has beat English hopefulls Binoc and co at newcastle and is going for a 1m bonus if can win this. Has the engine to power up the hill but ill be waiting till the day to back him, see what going is like. Punjabi a livly place bet for me. Pity Hurricane Fly not running would win IMO at his best :mad:


Nina will win Cross country


Quevega for the mares IMO Forecast with Voler la vet



W hill Trophey - Bensalem Place bet for me

I see this is entered for the Imperial Cup on Sat - that would make your bet interesting if it were to win that with the €50k bonus on offer for winning in C'ham. Did you back him for Vincent O'Brien or Supreme Novice?

Perharps I'll rephrase

Have at least 10 eur bet on any Cheltenham race and Ivan will give you a 10 eur free single.http://static.boards.ie/vbulletin/images/smilies/smile.gif

Warper

I've made 3 bets so far:

100 on Garde Champetre @ 9-4 - Cross Country
100 on Go Native @ 4-1 - Champion Hurdle
100 Double on Master Minded @ 4-5 an Kauto Star @ 4-5

I fancy Tranquil Sea in the Ryanair too at around 4-1

Btw Hill's are guaranteeing their prices - if SP is bigger you get SP though they are only NR NB on the top 4 races.

Im going to back it in the morning for the supreme novice and if dunguib wins il get my money back . its a huge price 66/1

Aather is almost certainly being aimed at the county hurdle but Ive been looking at the weights and I dont think he'll get in. If he does end up going for the supreme novices ,you wont get 66/1 in the morning!

it's 1000 on BF for the Supreme Nov, must be definite for the County Hurdle

No, thats a realistic assessment of the horses chance in the Sup Nov
