          Smash is in a race where it is likely that 3 of the 4 beneath him in the betting will not run and he could start 9/2 so I was just snaffling definite value. Don't think he needs it soft or anything - will act on what is there just grand, esp in a poor race.
          He has good form on soft and heavy so if he improves for better ground he will have a great chance. Having said that the Supreme is very strong this year with Min, Altior, Yorkhill and possibly Henderson's other horse. I will back Supa, Yorkhill and Altior in this using the promotion some bookmakers have for this race.

          Had another look at Ryanair and he does stand out. Road to Riches going for the Gold Cup would help as well.

                  Interesting sprint coming up here at Lingfield, strange seeing some of the classier horses out this early in the year, hard to see them being anywhere near full fitness.

                  Mick Halfords Russian Soul looks interesting at double figures, doubt he'd send it over without thinking he had a chance, won recently at Dundalk so could be one of very few with fitness on his side.

                    GAB spotted on RUK just now talking with Nevison. He tipped Fox Appeal in the Betbright chase and something else i cant remember!.

                          Are BetBright taking bets for Cheltenham? Tried to have €25 on a horse in the BetBright Chase yesterday was offered €2

It's also €2 more than Bet365, SkyBet, Tote, Boyles, BetFred, SportingBet, BetVictor, PaddyPower, StanJAmes, 888, Coral, Betfair Sports, Betway and Racebets will lay me. You see having a restricted account is cool in the same way as it's cool when you first start shaving. You feel like a big man and want people to know so you tell everybody when the opportunity presents but eventually you realise that it is actually an inconvenience and overall far more hassle than you would like. That said I will have a look tomorrow for you and see why.
                            I'm not on here bragging about having a restricted account, far from it. I know it's a pain in the hole and not in any way a sign of being a big man or a badge of honour. I availed of your SS tip, as I've availed of many of your tips through the years and I appreciate the generosity you show around these parts with your knowledge. But having said that you went to the effort in your original tip of dissing other books of not being genuine nrnb for Cheltenham. How are BetBright in a position to knock any other provider if they won't lay a bet.

                            I'm hardly a big punter, very far from it. I've had 15 bets with BetBright since October, the largest €100 on a 2.1 everything else sub €50 and the account is a small winner, hardly a badge of honour or a huge brag tbf.

                                      Very confident about Total Recall''s chances in Naas today (3.10). Price is gone, still a small bit of value at 6s imo.

                                                Delighted with that, he is tough. We knew we had a few pounds in hand today. Thought the early prices might have been a little tastier but still a nice touch.

                                                    Am I missing something in being ridiculously optimistic in Don Poli for the GC?

                                                    He's the proverbial boat, 2/2 at the Festival. You could argue he hasn't beaten much in his chasing career to date but you could equally argue they've never had to get to the bottom of him. Young, improving type which is what you want for the GC these days.

                                                    Vautour shouldn't be in the GC imo, having been outstayed over 3 on a flat track.
                                                    Djakadam has fallen 2/3 at Cheltenham and had a bad one last time.
                                                    Cue Card and Don Cossack have the wrong age profile and have both been to the well too many times for my liking. Plus DC's record at Cheltenham is poor.

                                                    Lumpage imo!

                                                            Only that its on paper the most exciting looking GC in years with a number of very good horses that people have strong opinions about turning up.

                                                            I'll tell you what, I haven't looked forward with such relish to a race in a long time (Jennies races being much more a matter of dread and nerves).
                                                            Its gonna be grrrreat

                                                            I'm a believer in both the Don's and am surprised I'm not already heavily invested in Don Cossack
                                                            tbh I like of most of the field the whole way down to Hemming's National winner.

                                                            In a reverse of the cliché it you put a gun to my head and forced me to lay one it would probably be Vatour

                                                            Heart and wallet agree with your thoughts on Don Poli.

                                                              Heart and wallet agree with your thoughts on Don Poli.
                                                              Awful shame that Coneygree isn't in the mix too. A race to savour.

                                                              Hoping Smad Place blasts off and makes it a real test. I still have an inkling Vautour gets rerouted.

                                                                Firmly in the Don Poli camp as well, everything you'd want In a GC horse. He may even go off a bit bigger on the day. Would love to see Russell on board.

Reads as though he is afraid he'll be caught for toe at some stage in gc.

                                                                  Comment

I too have a lot of time for Cooper but I'd be happy if Russell was on Cossack for this one. I still can't forget the ride he gave Lord Windemere a couple of years ago. He stole a Gold Cup on a horse that looked out with the washing half way through the final circuit, when a lot of jockeys would have thrown in the towel. That said, if Cooper chooses Cossack, he'll still be carrying my wedge.

The way I see it if DP plods around and the rest make mistakes it's his to win. Don poli is a class animal and prob goes against him because he doesnt do a tap and was a big big fan last year....But DC has been aimed at the race for so long and if his jumping holds up and he's there 2 or 3 out will have the class & pace to win.

Will be seen to better effect on better ground and if you can forgive his last run where Faugheen ate him when he tried to keep pace with him. He's been second fav all season with Faugheen and Arctic Fire still in. Annie with loads of questions to answer and he's a bigger price now.

He would have a great chance only for Mullins running him in the Irish Champion 4 weeks after having a hard race against Identity Thief in bottomless ground.

                                                                                                            If it was Faugheen who had a hard race at Christmas there is no way Mullins would have ran him again four weeks later so why would he run Nichols Canyon back four weeks later.

                                                                                                            The ways things have transpired I'm sure he is regretting running Nichols in the Irish Champion now.

I didn't check the site as there's no point. I had intended doing it in shop but when I checked this morning it's back to 3 places on odds checker again so may have been a typo.

I really think ruby mistimed it for the king George and that he really really should have won that race. Most certainly clear fav for gold cup if it had done.

                                                                                                                      Also guy in work who knows a bit more than me about it was saying he believes there is a recency bias surrounding the belief that you need to be an out and out stayer to win the race citing synchronised and Lord wyndamre. Thinks vautour not staying trip is being over hyped.

                                                                                                                      I reviewed a few races last night involving the other principals and when watching don poli win the rsa last year I was struck by how good a race southfield theatre ran in second. Really clipped one 4 or 5 out and ran a big race. Quoted at 20/1 for the ultima handicap on Tuesday and I am tempted to have a pop. Anybody who knows a bit more than me (ie. All of ye) have thoughts on any of the above??

                                                                                                                          Nicholls gave gave him a good chance in an interview a few weeks ago saying he needs good ground. He should win it on his best form but he has ran two shockers this year albeit it on poor ground.

                                                                                                                          Ive backed Cause of Causes for this on betfair at a ridiculous price and if he dosen't turn up I will be having a look at Southfield Theatre.

                                                                                                                          I think Southfield Royale has a great chance in the four miler with Nina on board which is a great booking for an amateur riders race.
