Well done all the winners yesterday. Mixed bag for myself with a couple of winners but disappointed Appreciate it was only 2nd and Defi really done me big time.
Day 3 is probably the day I have least interest in but I’ll put up my thoughts anyway.
1.30 Itchy Feet 9/2
3rd in the supreme last year hes really taken to fences and lto in the Scilly Isles he was very impressive.
2.10 The Storyteller 11/2
No big interest in this race so I’ll just go with Davy Russell whose had 7 rides in the race. Won 3 and placed 4 times…..not a bad stat.
2.50 A Plus Tard 7/4
On all known form this season, APT is way ahead of the rest of the field beating Chacun poir Sior lto. He hacked up in the close bros at last years festival and is the one to beat in this race.
Frodon won it last year and I wont be surprised if he goes close again as he always seems to run well here.
3.30 Summerville Boy 9/1 ew
If he changes tactics and is held up, I really give this horse a chance of beating Paisley Park. Hes a Supreme winner who on that occasion was held up and came home late to win.
4.10 Not Another Muddle 22/1 ew (pp power up)
Really fancy this horse and heres why.
26 of the last 28 winners were rated no higher than 141. (Only horse below that mark in the race)
Trainer has had 1 win and 3 places in the race from 6 runners.
Off the track for a year but goes well fresh having won when returning from a 9 month break..
5th last season in the Grand Annual so has course and festival form and goes well in big fields.
4.50 No interest. No bet
5.30 Have backed Le Breuil but again the irish dont have a good record so have also backed
Champagne Platinum with Derek O Connor on board in the JP colours.
BOL
Great write up DC.
What do you think of min’s chances. 11-4 not good though for me, was hoping for 3 or 4-1, certainly going in placepot ?
Form this distance 11121, no altior this time.
A plus tard won well at last year’s festival at this distance but looking through the field none matches these.
Might have to do , a plus tard/min forecast as a saver as I respect your opinion DC.
Good luck.
A Plus Tard is one of my best bets ofr the week. Epetante was my biggest bet but im going the same on APT at 7/4 with a double won Paisley Park,glad some are very confident, VV goes 6pts!
Doubles is with a $10 free bet but as i was stung yesterday myself DC with Defi and again like you disappointed wjth Aprreciate it after a great start i ended up down a touch but BIG(for me 😉) on APT,thst n double i think will be me till friday bar a £ or 2 ew bets. GL lads 👍
Elvis
For me at this distance Min is better on a flat track like Aintree.
I just think APT has lots more to come and will have too much strength up the hill than Min.
It’s all about opinions though
No Min fir me at that crazy price Elvis,good Ew, best o kuck!
I 100% agree with DC on this one. Min is a cracking horse, but A Plus Tard just looks to have more staying paying.
Looks like my apt/min forecast cover bet might be useful 😁.
Already backed min so that ship has sailed.
After all this no doubt frodon will win 😨
Aye Elvis q Frodon to moonwalk over the line. Lol
6x bets for the3 to finish in any ordet?

Keen on Sire Du Berlais and Fitzhenry should have a nice chance. Barry Geraghty said the horse was the best he’s seen him lto, but unfortunately met trouble in running… so he should be primed for this.
Good luck.
Big cheers, followed sire du berlais, Fantastic got 9/1 . Happy days & well done👍🏇
It would make my Cheltenham if the ‘machine’ wins the first today.
Not backed it but faugheen is a Legend of a horse and you will hear the roar from Inverness if he wins, might have the tissues handy just in case aye Lossie Jim.
Good luck mate

Save my money for tomorrow, today’s Cheltenham card has the distinct feeling of ‘burnt fingers’ about it.
A plus tard & especially Paisley Park seem likely winners but will be watching only.
Friday main bet: Santini 7/2. On early.
Rogers out.

I’ve got itchy feet.
You can get cream for that crawmeister 😀
Still can’t get over that run from BG on Champ yesterday. One of the greatest wins I’ve seen from that position and delighted to be on it as well.
A Plus Tard, Paisley Park and Minella for me today.
Come on Samcro in the first!
CHAMP definitely the best race in terms of what you speak of, I had to watch the race in the evening, knowing the result… i was like WHEN is he going to start coming?? great stuff.
Elliott is on Fire💥☘
Stewards need a word about Rocket Lad ,laid all day ,never tried a leg
Seems to be a lot on A Plus Tard which ive be on since Monday so fingers,toes n balls crossed for us all …double with Paisley Park would be gravy and a kicking for the bookies. Cmon! 🍀🐪
Well done Elvis…..you got it right !!
Cheers DC.
Well done all with Samcro and sire de berlais lads, top tipping 🏇
Aye good shooting, feared the worst when Min went 2/1. Got Sire in an Ew trixie with Epitom and Sire De Luch n thats that for me.
What will you do the Tiger yesterday , A Plus Tard today : – ( , but a perfect ride by P . Townend , control the Race from the front , so no Chance for Frodon , yeah after a Amazing first day , the profit go down , but we have many Races to can cash out .
Yeah Simply the Betts : – ) , not huge odds , but a winner is winner after a bad day .
Not a bad day 3 winners and a place, Emitom unlucky for another place and the great Faugheen just did me for a really good day.
Well done to all the winners today. Some great shouts.
Pile of crap from me but theres always tomorrow
6pm race 1 minute from off, so pointless tipping, but fighting tem is 4/1 and 1lb better off than when beating EXTROADINAR who is 10/1… and looks worth an EW investment
boom 10/1 wins, cant imagine anyone got on in time so apologies for that but had to put up just in case.
