Cheltenham Festival Roll-Ups

[Lobos]

Lobos yea maybe need to give hurdlers a further thought, I don't think Favori will be turned out in this and Sharjah possibly one to take on.. have a bias against older horses.. fair or not. I did quite like F2F debut and have him in for turners. Will definitely be topping up with a ‘win today’ for this race as well.

With El Fab and Blue Lord not looking likely to head Paddy Rewards Chase - per Bromley today. Captain Guinness (will Henry go across for tingle creek? Not so sure) & Dino Blue are two I’d pick from the field.

Yeah, Favori probably not though he was left in at 5 day stage so he must have come out of last week's race well. Gordon not against running several either.

I'm interested in Farren Glory. Has looked really improved for a hurdle and beat a good yardstick last time who may well frank the form beating the Spider.

Sharjah wins all Darlo said.

[Lobos]

No confirmation yet.

Course walk today, they want it plenty soft for Tobar, but is preference.

Unlikely then for AT with the forecast.

Hope so. Looks a good opportunity. Possibly rest him up until Xmas??

Let him bolt up at the weekend, then ease off him until the DRF Ladbroke chase. Only thing which is doubting me now, a certain Garlic Warrior.

Ive chanced both GDM and Cpt Guiness for now

No point Cpt G going for a tough one against Jonplod when he'd have a strong favs chance of winning a g1 their side of the water.
GDM a risky punt as he was meant to go Naas for the Poplar but missed, maybe just needed a bit more time not sure :/

Dino they said they'd find another similar race to the Barberstown, so I wonder if they wait for the Horse & jockey with her :/

Tough to be confident on any calls really

Yea would make sense to stay in Ireland when there’s an open race for captain.

Yea I was thinking GDM as Ruby mentioned he is possibly the only other champion chase runner in Closutton but he’s yet to turn out and didn’t exactly run well in the race last year.

“Tough to be confident on any calls really”

100% tough one to call. Tis why I haven’t given up the day job lol

Don't worry about him. He hates Cheltenham.

I'm cheering on Gaelic Warrior, I hope he wins all his races ahead of the fez. Unless I see him jumping left handed, I'd be backing against him. He could go off odds on

[SeanRock]

I find it a little bemusing that you cannot for the life of you have Gaelic Warrior as a festival winner despite him having very solid course form especially last year in behind a horse Willie thinks has the quality & speed for a Champion Hurdle.

Yet you’re happy to blindly back & cheerlead two French fancies that have never raced beyond the English Channel. How many bags did you lose on the Warrior backing him on the nose in the Fred Winter?

Forgot to add the minor detail that said horse achieved the 3rd highest RPR of all time for chasing debuts at the weekend.

[opatcho]

Was GW rated one of the highest RPR novice hurdlers last season
Still got dusted...

Jump race = need to be able to jump.

That Can't be correct? Because Lalor(had a discussion recently about him hence freshly firing this at you now)would be 2nd with his 159(was 160 originally) with his at Chelt Nov meet 2018?

Yep definitely incorrect as a quick scan and I can see GDC(163) Altior(160),Shishkin(160) Al Ferof(159) Lalor(see above)and prob a few more if I dug properly.

He got 158. Well I seen it was the 3rd highest rating on twitter so it has to be gospel. Right?

He’s yet to fall as far as I can recall.

Probably should have fact checked that myself Outlaw. Thanks for correcting me. My point of it being one of the best debuts of all time still remains though.
