Not made too many concrete decisions over tomorrow yet. Backed Sizing Europe just after Christmas, but now thinking Big Zeb and Finian's Rainbow could surprise.

Liking Harry the Viking in the opener also.

Goodnight All.

Tough day one had to smash Quevega with silly money

2.05 Simonsig @ 3/1
4.40 Gorgeous
Sixty @ 20/1 EW
Simonsig & Grands Crus double

Simonsig is a freak really thought it would be 6/4 though still plenty of time.

Sixty is getting well backed now Ruby has gone for it.

Might back a few more in the others but trying to keep it simple today.

Re: Cheltenham 2012 : Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:28 am  

Son of Flicka 33/1 Ew

Rumours of a plot

Re: Cheltenham 2012 : Wed Mar 14, 2012 10:10 am  

Soll continues to be heavilly supported, hearing really good things about this one in the first!

Did Gorgeous Sixty @ 20/1 Ew for Fred Winter, into 12s now Ruby and Mullins really rate it at home, its first race over here is decent form.

Could be well in on ratings if Mullins has got it right.

This is turning into a major Irish gamble
