Thanks for the heads up with the weather Beau Ranger, that maybe changes my thinking on the race. I do like to find a bit of value if I can, so can I throw Little Josh into the mix.
He has run 18 times, mainly in decent races, winning 8 times and 2nd twice. Six of his wins have been on heavy (3) or soft (3)It’s little over a year ago that he won the Paddy Power at Cheltenham, beating no less than Long Run by 4 3/4 lengths, albeit he was getting 10lb’s.
His last run, at Cheltenham last january was not bad, but he tired at the end after trying to give lumps of weight to everything in the race bar Noland.
I know the problem is that we would have to take his fitness on trust, not having run for a year, but we know he does like Cheltenham, and if the going is soft or heavy, he will love that too.
Nigel Twiston-Davies is known to have the occasional punt, so I would watch the market carefully. He is 40’s with Coral’s and Stan James and if he is fit enough, I would expect that to drop. I know there are other horses in the race that are better than him, but if he gets the going he wants, 40-1 is huge. I’m having a bit of that e/w thank you very much.
My first ever ante post bet and the horse is a non runner lol
Anyway I was thinking anyone remember this horse

Maybe the pipe team thinking to look after Grand Crus and not overface him? with what happened to Gloria Victis.
Anyway My revised bet if I have one it might be Time For Rupert,
The replay I’m desperate to see is Hors La Loi’s Champion Hurdle, just so I can see exactly how easily Valiramix was travelling.
As predicted, Pipe has bottled it…God knows how he can have any Gold Cup aspirations with Grands Crus if he won’t let him take this lot on ( Chances are he will probably come out and run in the AON and beat Long Run now
)Anywhere but Cheltenham and i’d be happy to take 7/2 about Diamond Harry however just can’t have him round Cheltenham.So a toss up between Time for Rupert and Captain Chris but just can’t choose between them

Just on the subject of Champion hurdles,you’d hardly have a link to the famous 2005 race between Hardy and Harchi?

Holla.
I also want to see Hors La Loi’s race. People say Valiramix was really tanking.
Fraid not, Fran.
I found this on eBay the other day. Will purchase it now.
Can not have Captain Chris for the life of me. Think Time For Rupert will slam his rivals here.
Is precautionary frost as white as normal frost?
Sorry I couldn’t help being silly!
I think it’s yellow and should not be eatenMaster of the Hall is out and Barry is off to ride Shkakalalalalala
Not a bad turn out all the same.
He does, previous form; turned over at 1/4 in a novice chase when the horse tried unsuccessfully to catapult Mr Walsh at the last by putting down when asked.
Thus far; Ruby Walsh 0 Tidal Bay 1
A couple of days ago I put up Little Josh as a good e/w at 40-1. I mentioned that Nigel Twisten-Davies stable was one that liked the occassional punt and if the horse was ready, not having run for a year, they put their money where their mouths are.
Well the 40s have gone, and so today have the 33s. Now best priced at 25-1. I still think this is a good e/w shout at those odds.
Good luck guys
