Big 4 Lucky 15 - Harchi, Voy Por, Inglis, Kauto..

Good Lord I've been looking for Voy Por news!

I haven't worked my way through the handicaps yet, but for the Championship races I really fancy Harchibald in the Champion, I think he's as good as ever and, whatever you think about the horse, he's a rock solid each-way bet.

I like Tamarinbleu in the Queen Mother as I think it's got the best form and could yet prove himself a top-class two-miler. Master Minded is the danger, whilst I'll take on Voy Por and Twist Magic.

I've tried to find a way to get Inglis Drever beaten and, whilst the form of the stable has to be a concern, it's very difficult. My Way should show up better than his odds may suggst and it's possible to make a case for The Market Man but the favourite should win.

Unless I go in on Exotic Dancer I won't have a bet in the Gold Cup, there's no need, but I think Kauto Star will win but Exotic is very much the value. There's no reason why he should be bigger than 6 or 7/1 in my mind.


My non-handicap banker is Our Vic in the Ryanair and I'll be having cash on Lodge Lane in the Spa Hurdle.

My nap for the festival has to be Mossbank in the Ryanair. I think everything is set for him to run a blinder. I wouldn't have been put off backing him in the Gold Cup ew if he had gone for that instead. He's been freshened up, and we all know he's best when fresh, it looks the ideal trip for him and this year he's proved what a good horse he is. Our Vic usually finds one or two too good, and seems a little tripless in my opinion.

I'm with Brock for my bismark. Sizing Europe, what a joke of a price about this horse. If he wins a champion hurdle then Cheltenham should be getting concerned about the quality of their fields for championship races. Lay, lay and lay some more!

Not had a chance to look through many of the handicaps and I persume that is where many of the value bets are lurking. I will have a closer look tonight and come up with the answer for that one.

Lucky 15...... or unlucky 15 as I've started to call them! Hmmm. Something like Katchit, Twist Magic, Inglis Drever and Denman. Not very orignial, but they would probably be the four for me, with Katchit adding a bigger price to the rest of them.

My tips
 

2:00 - Pigeon Island
2:35 - Noland
3:15 - Harchibald (Katchit in a R.F also)
4:00 - Monkerhostin
4:40 - Wonderkid
5:20 - Ashkazar

Oh too funny, it took me forever to write mine out on the other thread (but really, just had to mention Monk somewhere). :D
