Cheltenham December Meeting

Any fancies for people today and tomorrow?

I like Gyenyame in the final race

Outpaced over 2m5f then flew home behind springwell Bay

Up in trip and switched to the new course he should hopefully improve again

Tempted to place lay dysart enos in the first after how poor her jumping was on debut as well but not commited to that yet

[Benjy23]

Grey Dawning to pile even more onto Stay Away Fay in a double...

Not the most inspiring card. Cross Country bein the highlight is a real sign

[FinalFurlong91]

Wasn't going to bother with grey dawning as he was 2.58 when I looked last night

But took some 3.6

On ratings he shouldn't win at these weights but im surprised hes as low as 144. He could be a 150+ novice the rest of these thatd be very unlikely

Saved a few quid by avoiding the first race and not place laying dysart enos

Crebily redemption?

Fair to say the second last mistake has cost him

Grey dawning would've won pretty nicely without that shuddering mistake

Frustrating

The personification of a horse feeling the weight of my money on its back.

Incredibly tight to call but going for a small each way on Fugitif in the big one today. Solid in these sort of races as an each way play and beaten a few of these at the festival. Down a couple of lb for last time and without the headgear should see bit of improvement hopefully.

And Broadway Boy my only other bet on the card

Have Bonttay at better prices but fear one of my favourites in Nurse Susan....tempted to cover.

That 2.25 is a right race.

Venetia's been supported up in trip.

Malina Girl wins again i hope. Not as confident off 146, jockey looks like he's going to popular with all the Irish yards, but it's his first ride around here which needs considered.

City Chief having his 2nd race of the season might close the deficit on her given she had a pipe-opener already.

Tricky!

Missed prices on Skelton's in the 3.00. Think he wins.

Prince Escalus in the 1.15 11/1 e/w

Wasn't beat far last time at Cheltenham and weighted well now against the reopposing Calico. Be tough to beat In Excelsius Deo but not a fan of hols up horses at Cheltenham, even in a small field.

Kourosh to win the first - he was pretty good on debut. Not sure about the Burdett Road from with the fav.

I don't know what they've said on the preview show but I can see Fakir D'oudairies going well. Since his beginners he's run in 21 chases, all G1 or G2, with 6 wins and 10 places. At 8 he should be in his prime although there's always that nagging doubt about early starting French-breds. Goes well fresh and on soft ground. Joseph doesn't travel over no-hopers as a rule although it may not have been his decision. 11/1 seems fair each way.

Weveallbeencaught finishing last off 135 would be a bad sign for Broadway boy who runs in a better race off 10lb higher

[Benjy23]

Can't beat a photo finish winner in a handicap

[FinalFurlong91]

Some gamble on Broadway boy

Aye, was 11/4 when I posted this morning.
