    2026 Gold Cup

    Any thought on Spillanes Tower here? I've backed Jango and Firefox here, but taking a look at him now. He's been well fancied every time he comes over to England, quickly found out that Kempton wasn't his track which I can almost always forgive, and won a pretty poor Cotswolds Chase, but at...

    2026 Gold Cup

    Jango Baie my main play here, but going to cover with Firefox. I think Elliot’s aren’t actually going that badly, and he’s doing something a little different going up in trip slightly which I like for the gold cup. Seems to be improving as well and the Irish are 9-1 in G1s this week. Good...

    2026 Stayers Hurdle

    Nothing I see in Kabral Du Mathan makes me think he won’t stay the trip. He’ll take the beating IMO. Ballyburn will be an interesting one, always had the class but can he finally get his act together on a big day at Cheltenham? Usually those kinds of horses do have their day in the...

    2026 Gold Cup

    My only remaining dart in this is now Jango Baie at 20/1 which was taken straight after King George. I’ve lost enough on my ante posts on Lecky Watson and Stellar Story! Never had a good betting record in this one though, so I’d probably avoid! 🤣

    2026 Gold Cup

    Shame, probably saved me some money though.

    2026 Trust a Trader Plate Handicap Chase

    2nd and 4th, winner far too good!

    2026 Trust a Trader Plate Handicap Chase

    Landed on Downmexicoway at 10/1 and Will The Wise 16/1 in this. HDB due a winner and putting that horse in the Irish Arkle for his 4th run was just a little run around. Similar with Will The Wise LTO, had a run around but looked pretty solid before that over fences.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    Well, hard for me to lose now at this festival with that winner, been going in for months on Lossiemouth. What a horse!

    2026 Gold Cup

    Yup, massive holes in all of them. I’ve been on Stellar Story since October at 100/1 but he’s shown nothing, seems to go alright at Cheltenham though and you just never know - gold cup could bring something out of him. Affordale Fury did show a spark this year despite blowing up LTO. Savilles...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I’d be taking the gamble on F2F to blow up. Not a fan of the without market. Would rather EW get money back if 2nd or 3rd and hit bigger if he does win it. Not cheering on a 2nd place!

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    Surely Banbridge in this at 5/1 is each way bet of the festival? Can’t see it ever finishing outside top 3 or even top 2, and F2F might not be as invincible as people think….

    2026 Gold Cup

    Is Stellar Story running here? Also not seeing much love for Affordale Fury. I could probably forgive his last run and take a chance on a Saville’s winner at 40/1.

    2026 Gold Cup

    Well before today my bets for the Gold Cup were: Jango Baie @ 20/1 Lecky Watson @ 66/1 Stellar Story @ 100/1 Happy with the Jango price, just hope he can jump well enough for a Gold Cup, he’s looked patchy every time I watch him but he seems to always be there at the end. Lecky Watson just...

    2026 Gold Cup

    I’ll be throwing a dart at Glangeclare West tomorrow, I just think he’ll run a big race.

    2026 Gold Cup

    National I meant sorry. Hopefully he stays in GC though.

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    No matter what else turns up at the Champion Hurdle, Lossiemouth will win it in a canter. Banker of the festival.

    2026 Gold Cup

    As of last week the two that interested me for the Gold Cup were Lecky Watson (33/1) and Stellar Story (100/1). I expected nothing different from that Betfair Chase from Stellar Story given the market beforehand, he might be outclassed in a Gold Cup and he's a bit of a boat but I do think...
