Is Long Run guaranteed to be running in the RSA though? Don't his owners fancy the Arkle? I think it'll struggle with the track at Cheltenham but who would I be to disagree with you

Been watching the Cheltenham markets for the last week or two and one horse I've strongly fancied appears to have come in for a lot of support lately. In what looks a wide open Champion Hurdle the one who I think will definitely be there or thereabouts which I've not seen many people at all talking about is Punjabi, been there seen it and done it....



Dunguib and Big Bucks are two as big a certainties as I can ever remember and are already shaping all my Cheltenham bets...

Cee Bee is going to romp up that hill going off as 5/2 fav.



Am all over it @ 18/1 17/1 and 9/1 its now as low as 4/1

The bookies will be praying they don't win.



Duc De Regniere 10/1 and William Hogarth 10/3 at Kempton tomorrow look like decent chances

Certainly attracted some money, 11/2 available in places at the beginning of the week. Could still just as easily be a draw though.

the whole ground issue with denman and kauto is rubbish in my opinion.. denman beat kauto in the 2008 gold cup because kauto ran a few weeks before it, nicholls has the key to kauto now knowing he needs to be kept fresh

kauto still wins in heavy

Swansea v Leicster



£3

Lovely

ah well showed a profit

Good day for 85 & 84

I'd backed Liverpool and traded at 87 minutes

Great call!



Although, if you were watching live, Kuyt in the last minute must have had the nerves jangling.

Blazing Bailey win/place Ffso Las 2.10





7/2 win

Evens place

Two for today:



Augsburg v Cottbus

Mallorca v D Coruna

fancy special envoy to take this race



freds benifit .3.20 ffos las

I only did it because my flatmate walked in and told me it was 1-1 and I believed him. He informed me he was joking, so I quickly laid for a profit either way, even had a couple of quid on Stoke winning

The money is for Henderson's horse but don't understand the price difference between the two Special Envoy has had problems the last 2 years.



Blazing Bailey is 4/1 now thats a huge price, if its get the place I will be covered.

think special envoy will make the better chaser.. blazing bailey will be retired if he doesnt show any spark today over the bigger fences.. but reports suggest hes enjoying it at home.. intresting - time will tell!!



backing all pipes today apart from the sliotar in same race as above .. that better not win!

On hurdle form though Blazing Bailey would win this I think its all down to if Henderson has worked his magic on Special Envoy like you said its an interesting one.

Still not convinced about the Alan King yard, especially after Prince Buster flopped yesterday.

Think that could be the main reason for the lack of backers and with Henderson's yard in form.
