Suggestion: Favori du Champadou, Albert Bartlett, general 10/1

Rationale: Just back f**king winners

[Tickety Boo]

Hi Guys I'm delighted to be nominated a Fat Jockey Captain for this year's festival Friday. I will do my very best to help you fill your pickets at the bookies expense. Good Luck to each and every one of us. Thanks for the opportunity

[Kevloaf]

Stat from the preview nights is that over the last 3 years, the Irish are winning the 'Friday'

IRE 19 - 2 UK


So, do we rule out the English horses? Or will they be value Or is it totally irrelevant.

Definitely the latter



Still .......short priced favourites in the Triumph, Gold Cup, Mares Chase and short enough in the Hunters Chase


Lossiemouth / Blood Destiny

Galopin Des Champs

Allegorie De Vassy / Impervious

Vaucelet


or of course, try and crack the Albert Bartlett, County and Martin Pipe if you want us to find each way prices?

Yeah has to be a big player.
Chuck in Imagine (Pipe) Sharjah (County) and Conflated (Gold Cup) and you have yourself the lifechanger…

[Tickety Boo]

Thanks for the information and suggestions I will be taking it all on board, I intend to put some hours into the Friday races before a final selection. All suggestions will be considered and none ignored. Build the dream.....

I'd be looking at Hiddenvalley Lake (Bartlett) or Imagine (Pipe).

Hiddenvalley Lake was my novice hurdler to follow in 'Three Of The Best' thread some while back and I'm sticking with him. Race was not run to suit and the ground didn't suit LTO, IMO, plus he had to give weight away to two fairly talked up horses, so I'm expecting a different performance from Hiddenvalley Lake come the Bartlett.

Can't take any credit for Imagine, although he was on my list of about 50 horses for the Pipe, but Kevloaf mentioned him for the race and I looked into him and can certainly see why. Gordon mentioned about going out in trip with him at some point yet solely campaigned him at 2m, I'm hoping with a view to stepping him up at the festival, and in particular the Martin Pipe. He's bred to get further, looked like needing further and the chances are, him going out in trip will bring about plenty of improvement. His mark is more than fair. I think Gordon wins the Martin Pipe this season, I don't think Willie has anything that strong for it, personally, and whichever is Gordons best chance will go in and I believe that to be Imagine.

Mullins (11 wins, 20 placed, 55 runners), De Bromhead (3 wins, 6 placed, 21 runners), Elliott (1 winner, 7 placed, 27 runners)

Places at standard terms and include winners.

Elliott record is terrible last 3 years...

Interesting.

I won't be ignoring Elliott by any stretch but have seen a few mention it!



Willie and Henry still would give us the winner in the Triumph, possibly Albert Bartlett / Gold Cup top 2 in the betting and the Mares Chase

I saw Willie questioned about his recent Friday successes and he said it obviously wasn't intentional but he wondered aloud if the types of horses he'd been buying was having an effect.

I also saw Rory Delargy note that Hendo used to own the Triumph but now barely sends horses there which opens up Willie's recent uptick in performance there too

Just way too small a sample size to take any meaningful data from to project on to this year though really...

He's been buying really good horses for a long time, which day they win is just too intricate.

Even so, I wonder if he's got a better record on the New or Old course?

At 12/1 conflated as an e/w shout sticks out to me.
Very consistent horse with the form that sees him with a win chance.

[DenmanSacre]

Three Card Brag wins the Bartlett.

Da Capo Glory - I'd fancy him in either the County or the Martin Pipe but Pipe looks more likely.

Rated 139 so 4 pounds higher than in Ireland.

Only had 3 hurdle runs - beat Caldwell Diamond by 24 lengths on debut, 3rd to El Fabiolo at Punchestown (beat 7 and a half lengths and 3 and a half lengths back from Ha Dor) and then 4th on season debut in the Fil Dor/ Sharjah race, beaten 5 lengths.

He should be improving from that run and if he comes to Cheltenham, I'd expect him to have a fair few pounds in hand. I wouldn't be too fussed which race he went to but Pipe looks more likely from the betting. Being by Fame and Glory, the step up could also bring about improvement
