    “Who do you think you’re dealing with here? Chezza?”

    Of all the MANY oblique, not so oblique, and downright direct insults Gladders has hurled in Chezza’s direction over the years, this has to be one of the very finest.

    Even when Chezza’s not the subject of the conversation, Chezza becomes the subject of the conversation.

    Narcissist nirvana.

    I don’t think I’ve backed a horse as short so far out, but the Arkle is one of my favourite races and Willie thinks Facile Vega is Douvan Mk2 so I took the 10s, and also put him in a double with Impaire et Passe for the Turners.

    Trouble is, GAG, that Constitution Hill may well be lining up in one of next year’s novice chases.

    CH might be in a novice chase, but I remember Dawn Run a big thing for the Gold Cup after she won the 1986 version but she never made it. I never do any bets so far out.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    “Gladders, I’ve put 50p on the following

    Ballyburn 16’s
    Impaire Et Passe 10’s

    Skybet 186/1

    you can buy it off me for a pound”

    “Gladders wrote – Who do you think you’re dealing with here? Chezza?”

    I know one thing for sure, next year I’m not going to be bothering with getting stuck in with any lumpy bets on any of the shorties.

    The racing is too competitive to be risking decent money for modest roi’s!

    I’ve had my fingers burnt on Luccia today and that’s the last time I go in at short odds in 20+ runner races in top class company where every horse is trained to the minute and busting a gut!

    My first bet for Cheltenham 2024 is Stage Star, 20s ew in the Gold Cup.

    Is Shiskin a play for the GC , I really can’t get out of my head how he was off the bit so early , smashed a fence to bits then still got 2nd yesterday , also APT looks finished at the top level will they have a go with Allaho ?

    Both too old and unsound.

    I could not back Shishkin for anything now. He is too unreliable.

    It is a pity because I was a huge fan of him after his Supreme win and his novice chase season. But he will be 10 next year and is difficult to see him winning at Cheltenham again, especially with Galopin Des Champs around in the Gold Cup.

    On pure ability Shishkin has a chance and I think he will stay the GC trip. If he does not make the GC I don’t think he’ll run.

    8/1 Lossiemouth for the mares hurdle
    Still has masses of potential considering how strong she was tanking along, when she learns to switch off a bit can be even better.

    Shishkin for The Gold Cup? Really? I’m struggling to see any evidence from the last twelve months that he should even be mentioned for it. He’s just not as good as people want him to be. Even if he did win The Bowl, which is a possibility, I couldn’t have him at all for The Gold Cup.

    I’d rather bet that 8-1 for Lossiemouth which Nathan mentions
