    Roksana to be placed for me here. I think Benie will win, but she is too short. Roksana has a very decent Cheltenham record and I can see here finish at least 3rd.

    Cant believe how short benie is now

    She is miles shorter than she was last year when she didnt have honeysuckle to beat

    It’s not my sort of bet but £50 e/w on honeysuckle at 100/30

    She wins you make £200 she places you only lost £16.67

    No doubt shed finish 4th if I put that type of bet on hahaha

    Elfile is a nice young mare so I backed her EW at 33s and did the SF with her to follow Benie home as well.

    Good on you FF. The gap in the prices is too big.

    Given honeysuckles strength in the market in her 2 races this season have to say I’m very surprised she is so big atm

    I have just backed honeysuckle

    The racing fan part of me thinks benie wins, the punter thinks it should be evs and 15/8 not 8/15 and 3/1

    Paddy are doing money back as a free bet 2nd-4th

    With that offer there is absolutely no doubt honeysuckle is the bet not benie

    Benie is far too short (unless someone knows something is wrong with Honeysuckle).
    I agree FF, Honeysuckle is worth an each way bet @ 100/30.
    Lot of no hopers here, three 100/1+ and a couple of 28/1 shots – so Honeysuckle will need to run some way below her best not to be in the first four and this pays first three. Place odds are far better each way than they should be and win odds are pretty good too. Henry in great form.
    Might see what price she is in the betting without market to make it a 100% saver if finishing second to Benie. :good:

    Have now taken a little 4/5 Honeysuckle betting without saver to go with the 100/30 each way.

    Well done Honeysuckle and Rachel! I didn’t think she’d hurdle well enough to win but that was great. And well done Elfile for hanging on for 3rd despite taking what looked like a hefty grip throughout the race.

    Brilliant from blackmore

    Stole 2 or 3 lengths nipping up the inside and won by half a length

    Robbie power was very generous leaving that gap, wouldnt think mullins or Townend will be thanking him for that

    Bad for a couple of my ante post multis, but it was just common punting sense to back honeysuckle at 3/1

    Not robbie powers greatest moment you mean HDLTG, paul maybe should have sat in longer but if robbie stays put then rachael has to go 3 wide

    Cracking race nontheless

    Nice to see Honeysuckle win but imagine how much better the CH would have been if the first two here had been running in that race instead. Thanks four day Cheltenham!

    Great race, great ride by Blackmore; first two should have been in the CH
