Makes for glorious reading as a Chacun backer.

Its one of those markets that is likely to please all backers on the day. If you like Altior your getting a bigger price than you have ever had before. If you think Altior is past it then your getting 2/1 about a multiple festival winner that without Altior would be even money or less. If you think CPS will beat them both, then you will probably get 3 or 4/1.

IMO Altior will take absolute chunks of money from general public on the day.

I would agree with every word of that.

Altior might not open up favourite but I think he will go off fav

Fantastic news - think the only thing we can all agree on is that it's gonna be one of the races of the week!

Great stuff!

Thanks FTM hopefully correct

I see no other route than the tried and tested Queen Mother then Sandown, again, a bit like the Ascot race earlier this year, why try new things in the horses 6/7 season, if he was a middle distance horse then Hendo would/should have stepped him up years ago no ?

I don't disagree, and you're almost certainly right. I'm just wishing out loud

What time do you get up TR?

What time do you get up TR?

Usually around 12:30. I hate mornings, so don't bother with them if I can help it. Get up at lunchtime, and hit the gym before I get to the desk, as I'll never go once I'm there.

Plotted up in my office by ~2:30, and there until I've had enough. Cheltenham is the only week of the year I'll be up before 9am every day. Other than when I've got to visit the offices in London for courses or meetings.

Just out of interest, is Douvan still amongst today’s entries?

Douvan was ruled out by Mullins last Friday

Douvan was ruled out by Mullins last Friday

He was, but we’ve been here before with Mullins ruling out horses only for them to turn up on the day. Just curious whether he’s at it here

I can't remember the exact circumstances, but it was douvan that time too? Wasn't he ruled out like at Xmas or before and then things changed nearer the time?

Sure it was, when he fell 2 years ago was it not?

Edit - last year
