JOHNB'S 20-1 ante-post tip Thistlecrack runs in the World Hurdle today and is now as low as 11-10.

Our man had two winners with his Day 2 selections and says says: “Yorkhill as I said earlier was the best bet at Cheltenham on Wednesday, massive odds and Yanworth for a lay, Sprinter Sacre was OK as well.”

    Waiting on THISTLECRACK at 6/5 for £141 for £10 ante post Johnb mate. ?
    Had no idea you shouted it at 20/1… Nice!
    Heres hoping pal!
    What Acca did you have ante post? I can’t believe I didn’t stick DOUVAN in too? ?
    Not be bothered as long as THISTLECRACK does the job and obviously your liking it ?

      I didn’t have Douvan in one as I have never really rated the horse and left Thistlecrack out because already got 20s.
      Did an Annie, Limini, Yorkhill treble

      Well good luck John sir! ?
      Limini looks good for it and why take Thistlecrack again if you have 20s.
      Did you post this treble John. Members stuff or did I just not read on the right days? Was off for a bit so probably me.

    John I take it you think Limini will jump better than lto?

    Mount Gunnery seems interesting in the first race the horse has done nothing much maybe it’s a hospitality thing for the owners but the stable is 4 winners from the last 8 ,had one that was 4th today , minimum stake e/w 100/1

      I think Limini could run through every hurdle and still win, I said exactly the same thing a couple of years ago when I got asked that same question about Faugheen

      As de mee 1-30
      Taken 28-1 each way and 7-1 to place (nap)
      This is no 28-1 shot.
      He finished 6 lengths behind Bristol de mai last time giving 3 pound to Bristol.
      Bristol is 9-2, either Bristol is under priced or as du mee is over priced.
      As du mee has beaten native river and blaklion this season among others who have run well this week

    Its kinda as above Nezambho but you look at his separate right ups it varies with Ew picks.
    Go to first page and check out his Thursday /Friday Acca.
    But I cant find his Friday pick so you could do a Trixie with todays.

    ANYONE else find johns Friday tip..2.50?? Looked and nothing.
    ANY help folk ?

    Question for JohnB (mainly) but all opinions welcome.
    Does the irish national normally turn into a sprint?
    How long is the run in after last fence?
    Roi des francs impressed me with his jumping yesterday until the race quckened and he hit the last, am I right in thinking a slow run race over 3m4f+ with a short run in would be perfect?

    Some news for you all, and John you’re pretty spot on. Just got off the phone and been told Thistlecrack will go for Gold cup next year, well that’s the aim. Can’t disclose who said what, but connections aiming for that.

    Cue card is looking fab, they are very confident. Price could be getting on the small side so only back to win now.

    Well done all today, been an amazing day so far and we are smashing the bookies. :)
