Cheltenham Festival Roll-Ups

[darlojim]

And An Tobar opened 11/8 with PP if anyone got on quick.

Early pennies got him into 4/7 across the board

Inothewayurthinking in the first at fairyhouse tomorrow looks a little overpriced to me at the 4/1 still available with 365.

You've got Sandor Clegane as 6/4 fave over a trip that would seem short of his best, and being by fame and glory and not coming from a ptp background you'd have some doubts about him as a chaser.

You then have imagine as second fave who's form ties in closely with inothewayurthinking but imo the latter is bred to be a better chaser than hurdler which I'm not certain you could say about imagine.

Cromwell is also in top form and his string seem ready to rock first time out which seems to be his way in recent seasons, and I can see inothewayurthinking going off favourite.

Agree completely RR. 4's looks too big.

Are you staying up for the MC tonight holding your 66/1 Vauban slip ??

Yeah I will be, can be up until near that time anyway some nights doing some work so I'll hang on a bit later to watch it live.

The bet was placed on an account which was since restricted so the prospect of doing them for another chunk would add an extra layer of satisfaction.

Yes, that will feel very satisfying. Stick it to them !

Brave man backing a JP horse in a hot beginners chase first time out.

Youd imagine the market will reveal a lot, he's been trimmed across the board since the markets opened, hopefully that continues in the morning.

Agree with this and managed to snag the 5/1 when they inadvertently drifted it for some reason. My theory was that there was no way he should be a bigger price than Imagine. They met twice last year and Inothewayurthinking was the moral victor on both occasions if considering weight and thus got a higher RPR than his rival. Like you said, looks more likely to make the better chaser of the pair as well. Watching brief at his price now but at least we have the value, could well go off fav at this rate too.

Well at least he placed, which was a big enough price for a roll up.

As pointed out above by overthelast I think there was possibly shenanigans at play with future handicaps in mind, lost about 4 lengths approaching the home turn for no apparent reason and not asked for an effort until the bird had flown.

I mean, if he's going to be winning a novice hurdle at the festival, he'd want to be winning his maiden tomorrow aslong as he jumps well etc.

Rob's gave a pretty glowing mention for him, so can't really see him being undercooked.

11/8 a gift!

Jigme opens 11/10 with Bet365.

Juntos Ganamos at 8/13 isn't a bad price as he's miles clear of the others if getting round.

And IEF 1/2

4.08/1 the treble... thankyou

The Jukebox Man looks a decent roll-up horse tomorrow at 2/1. The form has been boosted over the course of the last couple of days.

[riccirich]

Paddy power offering 4 places cover bet market (money back if horse finishes 2nd to 4th) for the 12:15 at naas tomorrow, and I'm using both icare desbois and Slade steel as roll ups who are both a shade above evens.

Icare desbois bumper win reads well and Mullins said in his weekend preview that he thinks he's pretty forward so fitness shouldn't be a worry, and Slade steel also showed good form in bumpers last season and should be in the mix.

There wouldn't be any obvious dangers of the ones at bigger prices, they look pretty average on paper, and I think king of kingsfield is fave because he's had a run, but on bumper form I'd personally have him behind Slade steel and icare desbois. I think both will finish in the first four, and hopefully one can get the win.

11/10 was a gift. Can't believe he went off evens.
