Has anyone had a Cheltenham 2022 punt yet

Which race do you think JWM will target?

Ballymore I imagine, same bumper Bob Olinger won and has the same owner and connections.

Kilcruit is the worry I guess unless he goes to the Albert Bartlett.

[Sprinter Sacre]

I think it's important now to devise an early ante post strategy specifically around Cheveley Park Stud. Their dominance with a small number of horses is staggering. 3 winners this week that probably should have been 4, and with a few injured horses too. When you think they have less than 20 horses in training in Ireland it really is impressive. Anything they have bought for 500k probably makes sense to just blind back at 33/1+ because their strike rate is brilliant.

Classic Getaway and Grangeclare West are on my shortlist, any others?

Yeah he'll be a worry for sure. Think he'll go Ballymore or AB.

#169 is a few of them collated. Not all CPS mind you. Guily Billy is another CPS horse.

[Sprinter Sacre]

A RAB that's been added recently and caught my eye is Shewearsitwell, Ferny Hollow, Journey With Me and Energumene all to place 80/1.

Tricky atm as they also have Grand Jury and Gerri Colombe as novice hurdlers next year as well who have looked good winning bumpers this season. So depends how they split them up and if they save some for Punchestown next year

[Brooksie]

couldn't resist an early one after seeing all them big winners

Vanillier RSA 16/1, Bob Olinger Marsh 4/1, Allaho Ryanair 5/1, Ferny Hollow Champion Hurdle 25/1 4 fold

Willie mentioned about Allaho potentially going Champion Chase.

Willie mentioned about Allaho potentially going Champion Chase.

Yeah I read that, but I think ultimately they'll stick to the middle distance. They've already messed him about over 3 mile, once everything has settled they'll realise this is his trip and they can get a sequence going in the Ryanair.

Shishkin would rout him in the CC

Agreed, should stick to 2m 4/5f. I guess Willie has got Energumene on his mind also and would want to split them.

[FinalFurlong91]

Problem is there aren't many 2m4f races for him in Ireland other than the John durkan

So he will have to probably prep over 3 miles again

Hopefully they aim him at the king George not the savills

First Post Cheltenham bets placed today only small stakes. Dusart (Arkle) and Bravemansgame (RSA) double at 440-1. And Vanillier (RSA) and Eklat De Rire (Gold Cup) double at 1100-1.

Brave man opposing the Irish in novice chasers.
Have to say, and I haven't fully considered where I'll focus next years efforts, but I'll struggle to get with any UK horse that isn't Thyme Hill or Shishkin...
