Not a race I usually play Antepost, but Champagne Classic at 20’s NRNB is very generous. The 33’s appeals also, but that NRNB makes some difference.
Not bet yet, but tempted.
Must agree here. Got him for the RSA but i reckon this is the one like.
I was unimpressed enough by Hardline’s jumping at the weekend to want add another and it’s my summer friend Robin des Foret.
Glaring negative is that he hasn’t been out since his fall when in contention in November, and of course he may not turn up, but this is his only Cheltenham entry.Other negatives are that apparently he prefers a flat track and this ties in a bit with his jumping- he’s a long striding horse who finds it hard to shorten up and pop a fence neatly if he gets in close- as well as the fall he made a hash of the last in the Like a Butterfly chase and really loses momentum if he gets a fence wrong- but when he meets them right he jumps very well and has loads of scope. He also has the ability to mix it with the likes of Le Richebourg. I’ll be holding my breath as he’s galloping downhill round corners towards fences but if he gets a clear round I’d be hopeful of a good run.
He’s 9, so there’s no point in cotton wooling him; and of course I’m a sucker for a price. 40-1 EW 1/4 odds with b365 was too good to ignore.
Greenasgrass, that was a real disappointment from Hardline wasn’t it, but I’m willing to give him another chance, and I’ve taken 20-1 here.
I’d imagine Champagne Classic will come here. He’ll be of interest i’d say, but not just yet, as weekend decs will confirm what they are thinking.
Lostintranslation for me, is the one to beat here. He was jumping left the whole way LTO, and back LH’d he’ll be more fluent. Also hope somethign will give him a lead to save the game of cat + mouse him + Defi have played the last two races

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!I’ve gone in again with Champagne Classic NRNB at 12s. The market is a mess, the top two run and then there’s 5-6 non-runners ahead of him in the market.
Even if he wins the G2 over 3 this weekend, Shattered Love won over 3 and won the JLT last season.
Now my biggest earner at the Fez this beast
Gordon stated on a Twitter Q&A last night Champagne Classic’s plan is to run Sunday and then if all goes well the NH Chase.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Glen Forsa looks perfect for this to me, took 10s NRNB after Fridays run.
They’re swaying towards the Arkle but i’d be coming here every day of the week.
I know that the general feeling is that Drovers Lane will head for the RSA but I think they might decide on this contest, having already bagged a win over course and distance
His odds are too big considering several ahead of him in the market will definitely not run here.
Just seen the comments from Kim Bailey explaining why Vinndication doesn’t run and I have to say: I’m not sure he’s being transparent as he should. My suspicion is that Vinndication didn’t handle going left handed and that this came to light during his preparatory gallop at Newbury. He hasn’t raced at a left handed track and it can’t be any coincidence that Bailey is now talking about Punchestown which, as you all know, is a right handed track.
Went ahead with the 20s NRNB EW on Drovers Lane before the 6 day decs are announced. B365 1/4 odds price had shortened so I went with Boylesports who are 1/5 for a place.
Fancy lostintranslation to overturn the sandown form with defi here
Hoping for a stronger run race to bring out the best in lostintranslation and make it more of a staying contest than the two times they have faced before
Defi should be in what looks a very weak arkle imo
I’ve gone for Lostintranslation here at 9/2. I expect Voix de Reve and Vinndication will make it a true test and that might suit Lostintranslation more then Defi du Sueil. Can’t really fance one of the horses with bigger prices.
