£10 per race. Split it however you wish between 1 or 2 horses.

I think keeping it on this thread will be fine. Will put the results up each day.

Day 1's Races

1:30 - William Hill Supreme Novices' Hurdle
2:05 - Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy
2:40 - JLT Specialty Handicap Chase
3:20 - Stan James Champion Hurdle
4:00 - Glenfarclas Handicap Chase
4:40 - OLBJ Mares Hurdle
5:15 - Pulteney Land Investments Novices' Handicap Chase.

12:30pm Cutoff on Tuesday.

Sounds good to me - I also think a seperate thread might be easier mainly for you Warwick saves you filing through pages of posts to find entries.

Played Menorah e/w in the Arkle with Paddy Power at 9's, just think that Hobbs has seemed to get the horses right on the day at Cheltenham and Captain Chris was similar to Menorah last year with his jumping problems, admittidly didn't have a horse with the class of Sprinter Sacre to beat but managed to get it right on the day. He's also been with Yogi Breisner so hopefully that's had a positive effect, along with the fast pace that will hopefully give him less chance to look at the fences and if SS doesn't make it up the hill then hopefully he's there to pounce but if he does money back.

Aye will create the thread in the morning.

Agree - been mulling over who to back out of Cue Card or Menorah and leaning towards Menorah for the Hobbs factor. Fell last time out but you get the feeling he is ready for this. Also liking Nicholls 2nd entry Cristal Bonus, but more likely to run in the Jewson.

Kid Cassidy is another to be watched with some consistent form. Never won at Cheltenham though and will probably do best going for the Grand Annual.

The Supreme Novices is turning into a very hot race aswell. Liking Cinders and Ashes and also Steps to Freedom.

Reckon we're looking at fast ground this week folks, which rules out a place bet on Cue Card.

looks like I may have done my dough on Captain Chris in the GC Ryanair looking favourite.

Also backed Boston for the 3m race @ 3/1 and also Sea Of Thunder @ 15/2 EW was sent to do a job over CD and was going to win impressive before falling at the last.

Turned out well after todays news.

Anyone know of a decent pub to watch the racing in Chester? will probably do the first three days in the house and then venture out on Friday as normal. Any suggestions?
