Cheltenham 2023 - Early fancies

[Kautostar]

A plus tard 10s on bex….the same happened yesterday someone put up ?100 to lay at 10s, same again today. Wonder if there’s an injury that hasn’t hit the public domain yet and a stable lad is quietly taking advantage?

[Spectre]

No nothing said I don't think, so presumably everything is okay TH.

[That Horse]

Has anyone heard whether Zanahiyr came back alright following his fall at Aintree at end of season? I just watched it back and it looked quite nasty although the horse got up afterwards.

I'm interested in Hollow Games for the n.h.chs. , .
Seeing how Gordon Elliott tried to get The Bosses Oscar chasing , last season .
The Bective Stud owned Hollow games , could be his choice this time round .
Already has some Reasonable form , although soundly beaten by The Nice guy last time .
He was third in the Martin Pipe behind Banbridge too . so has some course form.

Yeah he’s my idea of Gordon’s main hope for this, although he’ll probably run a couple. Frontal assault seems more of a handicapper to me

[BigChaang]

Is frontal Assault good enough?

Especially hard to see him holding up the form with GDM off levels if that one runs

We've had 2 classy winners in a row, with the trip being reduced that may become a trend

I'm not sure that's frontal assault

I tend to agree, if he’s Gordon’s main dart in the race I think it would have to be a below par renewal to see him winning.

It isn't on oddschecker but Frontal Assault is 25's with WH for the NHC. Shorter elsewhere.

….yep, it’s been highlighted & on the Yankee thread. Surprised it’s lasted so long, hopefully there when the Yankee goes on in a few weeks.

Thanks for correcting my sex error.
Any idea on whether they’ll be sending her over timber this season ?

No talk of it yet but I would think so once she wins her winners bumper.
Took them slightly by surprise how well she won!

[Istabraq]

Showed a good turn of foot first time up, once she got balanced she took off.
Few hold up's but good to see her out now - goes for a winners bumper next and should land one easily and go from there.

Anyone else see the Tramore bumper yesterday, won readily by Quel Reve.
The third horse, State of Honour (beaten 10l) had previously ran Minella Crooner to under 4l so the Mullins horse could turn out to be above average.
Where he goes from here of course is a guess up...

Picking the bumper winner in may

I wish you luck lads, you'll need it

Facile Vega hadn't even been named at this stage

Certainly couldn't disagree with this and BDA could well be yards bumper horse but if you have Skybet or Unibet (and can get more than 1.21 on) and your a bit crazy like i am then Shannon Royale at 25s could be worth a very speculative few quid. Another one i think is worth a little play at this point especially if you have 365 is Mercurey at 50s for the supreme i think hes 33s most other books and one mentioned on another post somewhere in this thread is the bosses oscar i dont think his price will change but if you want to get involved hes 20s any race skybet or 22/1 hills with the boost but all rather speculative but nothing wrong with a few quid here and there

[Atlantic Viking]

Just looking at the AN TOBAR point to point form
From his win, from the other 8 finishers, 5 have won since, two of them have finished 2nd and the final horse is unraced since
Had a few bob on at 20/1 for the Ballymore
Does anybody have a link to his point to point win ?
