Please share the details of your acca.

I'll be doing this wee competition again but will probably fall at the final hurdle once again (me and a few lads go every thursday& friday, annual pilgrimage) and for some reason it affects my ability to put my predictions in on those last two days.

If I hear anything up there I'll post it on here of course.

Bon Chance

It’s nothing ground breaking. They’re all favourites.

Bennie Des Dieux - Mares Hurdle
Envoi Allen - Ballymore Hurdle
Tiger Roll - Cross Country
Paisley Park - Stayers Hurdle

12.5/1.

A couple of them could run elsewhere, but as I said it’s NRNB.

Also, my record at Cheltenham the last two years has been piss poor so I wouldn’t really advise following my bets! :D.

BTW this has been published today and I've always got a few nice winners from it in the past

as far as horses I have been looking at myself these are a few in the handicaps at decent prices, weights for the handicaps come out next week

Relegate - Pertemps 25/1
Sempo - Coral Cup 25/1
Tronador - Boodies Juvenile 16/1
Ravenhill - Kim Muir 20/1

those are about the 4 safest bets for the festival, only issue is maybe Benie runs in the Champion Hurdle.

Envoi is 2nd fav for CH also but think its going for Ballymore as you say

Favourite now actually with some bookies so they’ve obviously taken a fair amount in the last few days.

Hopefully he still goes for the Ballymore.

Can't wait as per! Going Club this time for the Tuesday but always such a good laugh!

Did a boosted acca on Benie (Mares), Defi Du Seuil (CC) & Paisley Park (Stayers) @ 11's.

The Champion Chase is going to be such a good contest with Altior, Defi, Chacun Pour Soi et al.

Yeah looking forward to that one. Might do the reverse forecast with Altior and DDS for that.

I’ve been sitting on a Lostinstranslation 16/1 and Chacun Por Soir 25/1 double for the best part of 6-8 months now. if it comes in, the SC coffers will benefit.

preview night last night - Paul Nicholls said of Saint Sonnet (Marsh chase) ‘he runs for me at Catterick on Tuesday, and when he bolts up there, he won’t be an outsider in this field’.

seems like a good tip to me. currently 50/1.

I see the usual faces and names advertising Cheltenham tips for sale and promising huge profits!
One of them, at least, only naps and tips odds on or short price favourites.

i’ve never understood paying for tips. if you’re parting with your hard earned, why trust someone else’s judgement?!

I agree albeit I hardly trust my own judgement when it comes to horses!

Difference with that Narrowing The Field for instance is that it doesn’t state themselves as tipsters, rather it looks at certain trends which can shortlist certain horses over others with someone else doing the leg work.

Still, I’m trying to actually make money, not part with it on ultimately the hope that it’ll repay me in kind with winners I’d have perhaps overlooked.

oh yea, i more mean if i’m throwing my money away at least it should my decision where ??

i use stat sites, research etc, geegeez is very good. also i like reading blogs/columns etc, but wouldn’t bet on someone else’s say so. i’m perfectly capable of picking losers myself!

Well kind of agree but your really paying for someone’s time and dedication these tipsters watch a lot more and look into a lot more stats than I have to do and I love my racing having said that still wouldn’t pay for it ?

not trying to say some of these paid services put in the research hours, or that the tips aren’t any good.

it’s just if i’m going to potentially put money on something, i’d like to know why. plus feels great when you do the hours and get the results.

had a couple of tips today thought I’d pass them on since your all such a good bunch on here ? Fury Road in the Albert Bartlett and Shiskin in the Supreme have them in a double and e/w and win single respectively, Pinch of salt and all that!
