Princely Conn in the next for me too.

Ballyglasheen overpriced at 80/1.

Quick Jack E/W Main pick

Live dangers

The Game Changer
Sort It Out
Max Dynamite
Princely Conn

Very open race as you can see

Chucked a few quid on 80/1 Ballyglasheen E/W

It's fate!

That last race has perked my interest in Out Sam in the 2:40. If all Henderson's novice hurdlers are that good, this one seems good value at 14/1. All the write ups say it has lots of scope to improve.

Was going to skip this one but got on Peace and Co last minute so going E/W on Princely Conn.

Sorry mate had that copied and pasted before I spotted it.

I'd probably do Black Hercules and Peace and Co in a double.

1 down...

y2w902 · « **Reply #566 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:13:50 pm »

That will do, everyone bar Princely Conn in the places.

Got to say I am frustrated though, I was looking at Wicklow Brave but thought nah, it pulled up last time, can't be trusted.

paul211b · « **Reply #567 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:15:18 pm »

Damn Princely Conn!!! (Pricey Con)

XabiAlonsosBeard · « **Reply #568 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:16:45 pm »

Mullins has well held that back in previous races for this race, the crafty sod!

y2w902 · « **Reply #569 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:40:17 pm »

Black Hercules on at 4/1 E/W and Thomas Brown E/W 14/1

Definitely Red looks a danger.

planet-terror · « **Reply #570 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:48:44 pm »

the mullins show they should rename this festival

y2w902 · « **Reply #571 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:49:14 pm »

Never in it.

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #572 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:49:33 pm »

1st- Martello Tower (14-1)
2nd- Milsean (33-1)
3rd- No More Heroes (6-1)

XabiAlonsosBeard · « **Reply #573 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:52:01 pm »

Black Hercules was abysmal.

Not confident about my main festival bet, paint the cloud. Didn't want soft ground, but it definitely doesn't look good ground, looks like it's cutting up a lot, on the soft side.

Bodes well for many clouds in the gold cup though.

Well that's most my double's gone Black Hercules what a let down.

Fordy · « **Reply #575 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:55:02 pm »

black Hercules was poor. Not even close at any point.

Tim · « **Reply #576 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:56:05 pm »

What's going to like this soft/heavy ground in the Gold Cup then?

Mags Mullins first, Danny Mullins second, Willie Mullins second and fourth. It's Mullins mania!

Many Clouds, Coneygree, Smad Place and Houblon Des Obeaux.

y2w902 · « **Reply #579 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:59:10 pm »

Silviniaco Conti has no issues with soft ground either.

ScouserAlec · « **Reply #580 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:00:12 pm »

Silviniaco Conti next please.

Fiasco · « **Reply #581 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:02:01 pm »

I'm not quite sure on Silviniaco Conti up the hill. They say he's a stayer but I'm not quite sure at Cheltenham. Many Clouds will love the conditions, he doesn't have the class of Silviniaco Conti (a horse I genuinely like) but he is very tough and will relish the going.

Many Clouds for me.

y2w902 · « **Reply #582 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:07:17 pm »

Watched last years race a few times, especially as I backed the winner and to be honest I don't think it was a matter of not handling the hill, it looked like he was spooked as he quite sharply hanged along with Bobs Worth and after that he seemed to come back again. Plus with the cheekpieces on, I think he will at the very least be right there.

Many Clouds and Coneygree are big dangers and to be fair Djakadam won well in similar conditions last time so wouldn't rule him out at all.

Houblon Des Obeaux is a great price.

Tim · « **Reply #583 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:09:33 pm »

Can't get on any site on my phone at the moment and my work WIFI doesn't take too kindly to gambling sites.

Pretty open then

Thinking Conti, Many Clouds and Road to Riches.

XabiAlonsosBeard · « **Reply #585 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:12:01 pm »

I've gone Many Clouds and Djakadam win. Many Clouds has good form, course winner, stays, will like the conditions.

Djakadam, purely because it's Mullins and I think with the festival he's having that it could be fate.

Reverse forecast on the two. Smad Place chucked in for combo tricast too. Will like the softer ground, and always tends to run well at Cheltenham.

Silviniaco Conti is a top class horse, but doesn't strike me as an out and out battler, which I think might be needed today.

Fiasco · « **Reply #586 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:14:57 pm »

Jim Culloty strikes me as a bit of a prick. No particular reason why I think that, but he just does. Maybe it's because he treats every other race with contempt in regards to Lord Windamere and just wants to win this one.

y2w902 · « **Reply #587 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:16:29 pm »

I'd love Holywell to win, was my antepost fancy. Not happy with the rain but he has won on soft so we will see.

Conti, Many Clouds or Holywell I'd be happiest with, in that order, I had to get on Djakadam, just cos of Willie Mullins.

planet-terror · « **Reply #588 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:17:59 pm »

got a little interest in smad place ,would like to see mcoy win it.

Fiasco · « **Reply #589 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:27:29 pm »

Incredible ride and performance in those conditions. First novice to win since the 1970's.

Quite a few big names didn't perform.

C'mon Paint The Clouds in the next.

Need it to make a slight profit from the whole festival. If not, it's been a horror show!
