[loveracing]

Looks like Great Field could be running here.

[Faugheen_Machine]

Does anyone know if either of the top two are intended runners?

The betting doesn't think VDT will run here. Not sure about DG or his potential off top weight in a Coral.

[Faugheen_Machine]

I don't fancy DG either and suspect they'll swerve it but just trying to work out who will be top weight.

Rich Ricci: "Kalkir hurt on the gallops today and sadly won't be going to Cheltenham." #BetBright

This is one race we haven't really talked about or put up any real fancies. I give up in seconds everytime I look at the field.

What are your thoughts?

Does anyone have a rough idea on the final 26 or whos in or whos out?

Difficult to know where they go but I've mentioned before the fancy prices around Sgt Reckless, ran a blinder in the Supreme in his novice year, didn't really take to fences, but at around 40/1 is huge given his class, how many of the other entries would have been 4th in a Supreme

and if it keeps drying up better his chance.

I wanted to back Rock the Kasbah but won't now that Different Gravey has gone elsewhere.

[Morning Glory]

I think we need the decs for this,
