Yes, and don't get greedy like others in the past.

Will Mendip Express be top weight in this race?

Ned Stark is the latest addition to the list of shame. Alan King doesn’t even try to disguise how much he likes this horse. At 10/1, he’s twice the price of Bensalem, who won the same race – now backed by Ultima Solutions, sponsors of his stable - for King four years ago, and Ned Stark draws a pretty favourable comparison. There you go – a tip. Another Cheltenham tip. Just what you needed, right?

Ticks the box for nearly every trend for the race as well...

Guys, I am still away so not so active here but just been given Pendra for this race.

DB: View on Pendra depends on target. Most suitable race 3miler on first day. Theatre Guide my dark horse for that one.

I know we fancy Ned Stark and the day 1 yankee pick, but did anyone backed Pendra yesterday at 12's when I put him up?

If he wins or comes close I will pm where it came from. Nothing in life is a guarantee other than you will die one day.

Someone mentioned Pendra the other day on another thread and I posted that he was the pick of the tipster on O/C, seems to be something behind the move, 12's missed, might try to get a few quid on at the 10's still available

[Morning Glory]

I'm still getting over Pendra from Coral Cup two years ago. I know he placed in Novices Handicap last year but a fairly gash race ?

[loveracing]

He's not a horse I would have picked out for this race.

[Liam301287]

MRMcGoldrick this is one of me biggest bets on the first day. Managed to get Pendra 12's after missing 16's and 10's. Also placed at the Festival before which is good.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Heaney could give this a shout if he gets in. Bits and pieces of goodish form. Taaffe seems to have very few these times but anything he brings is usually competitive.
