Couldnt find a thread on this, so apologies if i’ve missed it.

Anyways, i’ve taken a punt on

First Confession 20/1

Best of luck to all

Bill Joyce.

The more I know the less I understand.

On the Skelton horse but expect a big run from Bill Joyce

Like he was out on an afternoon stroll

And a great e/w there, Eezer

Wow! That’s an English Cheltenham contender.

Value Is Everything

Skelton has a novice to go to war with the Irish , how impressive was that , I like Bill Joyce and he’s absolutely destroyed him , I doubt Skelton has had one as good as this

Once again disappointment for Nicholls. At the moment it is hard to see him even win 1 grade 1 race this entire season.

[Refuse To Bend]

That was some performance he won in a canter. Electric Mason ran with plenty of credit.

The more I know the less I understand.

Nicholls jabs his horses at the start of Jan , prob best to leave then alone at the start of the year

I’m on The New Lion for the Turners.

Value Is Everything

That effortless switch in the home straight spoke volumes for his talent and temperament

Lovely horse

Good luck lumping on a Challow Hurdle winner for Cheltenham.

Champ, Thyme Hill, Bravemansgame, Stage Star, Hermes Allen, Captain Teague.

Anyone noticing a pattern here?

I put this race up two years ago as one to avoid for for Cheltenham the following year. Willie Twiston-Davies mentioned something about it in the comments after Potters Charm win at Aintree.
””I went through the Challow so many times and it can finish a horse’s season, so I thought we could drop him back in trip and sharpen his jumping.”.

Obviously The New Lion didnt have much of a race, but not for me at the prices.

[MarkTT]

I’ve banged that drum for the last 20 years but it wasn’t desperate ground or conditions today and he looks potentially better than those

[Cork All Star]

It is a terrible trial for Cheltenham. I think I am right in saying Wichita Lineman is the last winner to go on to win at the festival – and he won the Albert Bartlett.

Even the mighty Denman won* the Challow but was defeated at Cheltenham (although to be fair, I don’t think it was Walsh’s finest hour).

*It was run at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day that season.

A nice horse and a very good performance but the fav was struggling a long way out
Good luck with Cheltenham but not for me
