Cheltenham Preview Nights
|
|
Couldn't see a thread started already for this. I went to one last night at Huntingdon Race Course, it isn't the detailed write up you will be hoping for but at least it is a start! - Enjoy!
Huntingdon Preview Night
Panel included Richard Hoiles (Host), Harry Skelton (Jockey), Matt Tombs (Cheltenham Betting Guide), Matt Brocklebank (Sporting Life), Michael Shinners (SkyBet)
I arrived just as it started and sat right at the back so i couldnt make out who was saying what…….This is a summary though!
Supreme
Take on Getabird - quirky and inexperienced with 2 runs so far.
Paloma blue e/w is an interesting horse
Mengli Khan e/w flat horse and pacey who has drifted out to very backable odds
Arkle
Footpad might not get it his own way up front with St Calvados.
Encouraged by Petit mouchoir if jumping improves and he was better over hurdles against Footpad .....lots of support from the panel on Mouchoir who will come on for the run and was pushed last time
Quick ground helps Sceu royal but not classy enough for an arkle
Champion hurdle
Buveur dair is penalty kick but no value at ⅖ - has turned into a weak race
Faugheen at 6/1 is very good price - spring weather could run a big race and big positivity about his last run (which suprised me)
Panel suggest backing Faugheen at 7/4 without fav .
Chitabella for a place cant be without a chance
MTOYs will be the crowd favourite and think will be backed heavily on the day
Wicklow brave , expecting a big race for high rated hurdler at a price
Mares
Apples jade Banker of the day says everyone and no one can see it even being taken close
Let’s dance has been disappointing this year - take on
Kayf grace if runs in this race is worth E/W.
Ballymore
Samcro it is a machine !!!!Banker - no one objected ... will be much shorter on the day
On the blindside is each way value and likes Cheltenham
Vindication unlikely to run
RSA
Presenting Percy is lay of the week and cant see how it is favourite .
Monalee has strong form following last race and looked gutsy
Shattered love - big price
Al boum photo - under ruby will improve
Elegant escape with a positive mention - tizzards think it will go well
Queen Mother
No one in the room thinks Douvan will even run ( including the audience )
Everyone thinks Altior 1st and Min 2nd.
Big price is God’s Own on good ground and should be backed eachway
No mention from anyone on Politilogue so can only assume everyone thinks it is average
Champion bumper -
Look for a wide winning margin last time out as a useful trend . No one had a mention for anything though
Cross Country
Cause of causes is a banker in the cross country . 3/1 great price said everyone!!
Tiger roll nice sighter and good value and could follow home Cause of Causes
Coral cup - think they mentioned long house haul ? 20/1
William Henry will be favourite and a lot shorter on the day
JLT
Willoughby court will be well backed but no one was really raving about it .
Invitation only, for Mullins worth a look especially under Ruby who will get him pinging
Finians Oscar after wind op is value - doesn’t become a bad horse over night
Ryanair-
UDS doesn’t get the credit he deserves , think punters will take him on though .
They think if Douvan runs it goes here - so worth NRNB.
Fox norton and top notch not good enough
Nap of festival for Harry Skelton is UDS !!! Wow
Rumours are fox norton may be injured
Stayers hurdle -
The new one gets a good mention from everyone
Sam spinner is uncomplicated and will give you a good honest run !
Everyone says it is a wide open race
Harry goes for supersundae
Yanworth has the class but is a dodger
Mares novice
Laurina is gonna take the beating and on a hard day this will be the punters get out
Triumph
Apple shaquira is solid but should be taken on as not tested yet but does get mares allowance .
Mr adjudicator is under rated and shouldn’t be dismissed.
Patrick Mullins and Ruby both think mr adjudicator has a great chance
Farclass is tough and will come on for the trip so could be the value
Albert Bartlett
Chef des obeux with a big mention if ground is soft , if not then Santini on better ground ..... Santini will get backed and worth getting on it now as could be as short as 3/1 on the day .
Grand annual - fane bowers mentioned and ordinary world
County hurdle
Charli Parcs will be a good price and was a top juvenile . Mohayed mentioned by Harry Skelton who has been targeted for this and seems very sweet on him at a decent price
Foxhunter - Harry says Valna Du Thaix
Gold cup - Total recall could be the one that gets backed
Trends suggest definitely red and native river can’t win .
The positive trend suggests class rises above stamina in the gold cup - so might bite and road to respect are positives
Lots of positivity about Might Bite and is the class horse
Harry says Might Bite is too quirky to be confident ..... harry would want to ride Sizing John especially on spring ground and can forgive a poor run last time out .
everyone else says Might Bite and Road to Respect .
Each way bet is Minella Rocco on good ground
Best bet of the week per panel member -
Mohayed each way in county hurdle
Gods own each way in champion chase
Al Boum Photo in RSA each way
Prime venture each way in pertemps

Please can others who are at the previews stick their findings up here as well. Will be interesting to see how the different panels see it going this year as there are a lot of possible wide open big races this time. Maybe a cheeky summary could be put up the week before Cheltenham as well ;-)

Cheltenham Preview Night – 26th January 2018
Panel
Luke Tarr – Star Sports (LT)
Luke Harvey – TV presenter and Bloody nice bloke (LH)
Paul K – Racing Post (PK)
Bill E – City AM Racing (BE)
Mick Fitz – Ex Top Jockey and legend (MF)
Day 1
Supreme Novices Hurdle
MF – Getabird really impressed at Punchestown but it was a weak race, he thinks Kalashnikov has the form to beat Getabird (6/1)
PK – Getabird has issues going left handed, he says Kalashinikov has the best form but he would go for Sharjah at a price (16/1)
LH – Kalashnikov has the best form he likes Summerville Boy (11/1) who jumps well
LT – If Kalashinikov was trained by a bigger yard would be much smaller price
BE – Kalashinikov EW
The Arkle
PK – Footpad not fast enough for good ground. Petit Mouchoir (7/2) and Saint Calvados (5/1) will go forward
MF – A Petit Mouchoir fan, he beat Footpad 3 times over hurdles and will put it up to him
LH – Petit Mouchoir has the class but not sure re the jumping, go for Saint Calvados who will handle good ground
LT- goes 5/4 Footpad, fancies Saint Calvados
Champion Hurdle
MF – Buveur D’Air (4/9!) and Faugheen (5/1) Forecast. Faugheen the only horse that can serve it up to BD
PK - Buveur D’Air will win. He likes Wicklow Brave Each way (14/1)
LH- This is a weak race Buveur D’Air will win. Faugheen has no chance. Suggests My Tent or Yours each way (10/1)
LT – Wicklow brave is overpriced and has each way value
I asked re Elgin (16/1) if it is supplemented. MF says travels well but may not find enough for this.
Other day 1
PK – Coo Star Sivola (14/1) will not be out of the frame in the Ultima (2.50)
Mares hurdle – all said Apples Jade will win (8/13)

Day 2
The Ballymore
PK – Can see Samcro winning and fancies Black Op ew (14/1) who was second to Santini on trials day
MF – his only concern for Samcro is it hasn’t run at Cheltenham. Likes Black Op ew
LH – On the blind side has done nothing wrong (5/1). He then said Santini is his bet of the meeting and therefore like Black Op
LT – Black Op ew
BE – Next destination (9/2)
RSA
PK – Likes presenting percy (5/2), worried about tough race last time out. Black Corton jumps well and is tough, has a good chance
MF – likes black corton who handles any ground. Also concerns that Percy bottomed by that last race
LH – Black Corton
LT – Percy will win
BE – likes Black Corton
Champion Chase
MF – Altior wins (4/6). Great field for a place (10/1) if it gets on the front end
PK – Likes Altior but came up with a stat that horses off long break that are highly rated have won 52 times but then only once second time…a concern!
LH – Doesn’t care about the stat, Altior wins and has no flaws. Douvan has no chance.
BE – Special tiara (16/1) each way
Other day 2
Coral Cup – LT likes Le Breuil (20/1), PK likes Deal D’estruval (12/1) and Diese Des Bieffes (12/1)

In the Fred Winter PK likes Act of Valour but needs decent ground (10/1) and LT likes Nube Negra (10/1)
The Bumper
LT – Didtheyleaveuoutto (6/1)
PK – mentioned Rhinestone (8/1) and Hollowgraphic (7/1)
MF – Mullins loves Hollowgraphic and really fancies it
Day 3
JLT
PK – has backed Benetar (9/1) but likes Finians Oscar (not even in the betting!)
LH – FO is no good. Benetar one of the bets of the meeting
MF – if Monalee runs it will win (12/1)
LT – not many in the betting will run so go for Benetar
Ryanair
LH – UDS needs soft. He thinks Top Notch will win.
MF – UDS, lots of the others will come out
PK – Stamina question for UDS, Cue Card is too old. He likes Balko Des Flos (7/1) each way, won in Galway, Irish Gold Cup second and will make the frame.
BE – Balko the best bet
Stayers
MF – L’ami Serge (12/1), Won 3 mile hurdle in france and placed in the supreme and the county last coupel of years
PK – Gave lots of reasons why he likes La Bague Au Roi (12/1)
LH – Alan King in form likes Yanworth (5/1)

Day 4
Triumph Hurdle
MF – Apples Shakira worries if quick ground (5/2). Redicean (9/2) is a player on half decent ground
PK – cannot have Apples if decent ground, likes Farclas on better ground (8/1)
LH – Apples is weak, likes we have a dream (7/1) but fancies stormy Ireland (7/1)
LT – We have a dream as he heard Henderson cannot split he and Apples
BE – Farclas
Albert Bartlett
PK – Santini (13/2) has the most potential. He said go for a horse that has run in lots of races and he likes Callett mad (33/1)
LH – Santini has impressed the most this year
LT – Santini
MF – Duc Des genievres (8/1) will be ridden to get home if it runs and Chef Des obeaux if soft
BE – Santini
The Gold Cup
MF – Native river is a solid bet
PK – Might bite is a nutter and would rather be on road to respect
LH – Might bite 3/1 is not a good price. Total Recall and Minella Rocco will be shorter on the day
BE – if soft native river and total recall (ruby rides total recall)
The Foxhunters
Richard Spencer said Sir Jack in good form and ready to go.
PK – Wonderful charm (6/1)

Supreme
Kalashnikov or Paloma Blue in the 1st
Arkle
Sceau Royal EW, lay St Calvados

Rumour of headgear for Faugheen. Consider MTOY EW from Andrew
Chitbello will go, but probably outclassed.
NH Chase (4 Miler)
Fagan, Elliot plot.
Close Bros
Cobra De Mai following wind op. But has got to get in the race. Rather Be needs considering.
Ballymore
Watching race prob. Vision De Flos EW makes appeal.
Coral Cup
Avoid older horses Coral cup. Look at a horse thats been off for more than a month. Long house hall given a positive but needs to be fresh, Elliot throwing everything at it.

Altior. Douvan no show.

Cheltenham on the Rock (COTR) Snippets
COTR Handicap Bet of the Week
Pricewise: Hunters Call - County Hurdle
Kealy: Ivanovich Gorbatov - County Hurdle
Jennings - Don’t Touch It - Grand Annual
COTR NAP of the Week
Pricewise: Hunters Call - Any Race
Kealy: Mr Whittaker - Brown Plate
Jennings - Balko Des Flos - Ryanair
Supreme
Supreme starts us off. All shading Mengli Khan, and like Kalashnikov a lot. Concerns over Getabird given price and ground. DJ likes Sharjah and Paloma Blue at a price
Arkle
Opposition to Arkle favourite Footpad, ‘worst price at festival.’ PK likes the next three in, focussed on Sceau Royal ew. DJ ❤️ Brian Power, much to consternation of panel. Pricewise puts up Saint Calvados based on Warwick run.
Champion Hurdle
All agree Buveur D’Air wins the CH. Wicklow Brave and Mick Jazz put up W/O Fav. MTOY also a fancy without.
Mares Hurdle
In the Mares, Let’s Dance given to us as dirty EW. BDD the selection of Pricewise at the price.
Others Day 1
Burning Ambition the NAP of the week for Day One guest from @bet365’s Pat Cooney. #ScouseOnTheSofa makes his first appearance, naps Rather Be in the Close Bros.
To wrap up Tuesday, Pricewise likes Mias Storm and Coo Star Sivola for the Ultima. PK very confident on CSS also, then suggests Barney Dwan the play in the novice chase. DJ likes Dounikos for the 4 miler, De Plotting Shed in the novice chase.
Ballymore
On to Day 2 now. Opposition to Samcro in the Ballymore, given the price from PK and Pricewise. DJ believes the beast to be a special animal, sure it wins, deserving of current price. Vision Des Flos suggested as a big price chance.
Coral Cup
Paul Kealy likes Diese Des Bieffes in whatever he ends up in, be it Coral Cup or Martin Pipe. Segal sure Hunters Call wins his race.
RSA
In the RSA, Pricewise shades Black Corton and Monalee (goes to JLT allegedly). Shattered Love and Mia’s Storm at the prices for Segal. DJ likes the fav once more, also Ballyoptic at a price.
Champion Chase
Panel can’t get away from Altior for the QMCC. That was easy.
Cross Country
Cause of Causes.
Fred Winter
DJ likes Oxford Blue in the Fred Winter @33/1.
Champion Bumper
Kealy likes Rhinestone to overturn Blackbow form, also puts word in for Hollowgraphic, who has support from Jennings
JLT
Day 3 up now. PK suggests Finian’s Oscar is the bet in the JLT despite worries. Pricewise puts up Modus and Monalee NRMB. DJ on Modus also.
Ryanair
PK loves Waiting Patiently for the Ryanair, and agrees with Pricewise that Balko Des Flos is a fair bet. Jennings also a Balko Des Flos, goes off 9/2 in his mind.
Stayers Hurdle
The #ScouseOnTheSofa woofs as DJ puts up L’Ami Serge. PK likes Apples Jade, and Segal has info that Penhill could be the steamer of the festival.
Browns Advisory
Tully East in the Brown Plate for DJ. PK likes Mr Whittaker in the Brown Plate, whilst Pricewise has Sort It Out in the Pertemps.
Mares Novices
Thursday closes with David Jennings napping Larina as shortest price SP of the festival.
Albert Bartlett
Santini is NAPed by #ScouseOnTheSofa and Pricewise couldn’t agree more. PK gives us the stat that most exposed horse wins, so lands on big priced Callet Mad.
Gold Cup
There is shock to see @WilliamHill have gone 9/2 about Might Bite. Kealy also likes Lexus winner Road to Respect. Pricewise big on Our Duke, and likes 50/1 shot Anibale Fly. DJ compares RTR to Denman, but questions ground.

Larry Tomkins, Bar Cork City
Sorry folks that this years into up to last year’s but a combination of ManFlu and ‘The Beast From The East' made it a bit of a stretch to make it to Larry’s tonight. But we weren’t dis-appointed AGAIN this year.
The panel tonight were Tony Mullins (TM), Enda Bolger (EB) and Charlie Swan (CS) with the excellent MC Joe Seward and special guest from Tusail O’Chonaill the Un De Sceaux owner.
Supreme Novices
TM: Fancies Getabird thinks Kalashnikov got an exceptional ride last time out
CS: Likes Kalashnikov and refers to Make A Stand who won like he did and won a Champion hurdle.
EB: A big fan of Getabird
Arkle
TM : Prefers Petit Mouchoir, says Willie is aiming Footpad at the Gold Cup and this is just a stepping stone
CS : Likes Brain Power each-way ,thinks he’d be a Paul Carberry type of ride
EB : Loves the grey horse - Petit Mouchoir
Champion Hurdle
CS: Buveur Dair for him, Faugheen not at its best
TM : After finishing second to Supasundae Tony was happy enough but coming off the track, i.e. the immediate response from Willie was that he’d have to find a bit.
EB: Nothing beats Buveur Dair
Mares Hurdle
Apples Jade could run in a Champion hurdle, penalty kick for the whole panel
NH Chase
Surprise they took this one in , interesting
TM & EB love fest for Mall Dini
CS : Watch out for Shattered Love that gets all the allowances
Ballymore
No love for Gigginstown hard to judge
TM: Needs to see more from Samcro
EB: Bombproof Samcro
CS: Samcro banker
Tony Mullins then went off on one of his many tangents whereby he said that Ruby said that Next Destination beats them all
Champion Chase
TM: Douvan the best horse in training at the moment, if it shows up wins by a fence
CS : Likes the way Min has learned to settle
EB : Thinks a negative for Min re the hill
RSA
CS: Presenting Percy won’t be beat
EB: Hard race for Presenting Percy last time out. Noel Fehily loves Monalee
TM: Likes Monalee, says Presenting Percy had a hard race last time out.
Cross Country
EB: All his horses are a stone behind Cause Of Cause
Bumper
CS: Likes a horse related to Denman called Didyouleavemeouttoo
TM : No noise from Willes yard … Interesting
Ryanair Chase
TM: Un De Sceaux best horse he’s seen in 30 years - hyperbole alert!!
Colm O’Connell : No bet if under 6/4, loves the horse but gives a mention to Balko De Flos (Man owes us nothing !!!!!)
On a side note thinks his other horse Bacchasson goes for either the Melling Chase or the Galway Plate
EB: Un De Sceaux is a phenomenon that’s not finished yet
CS : Un De Sceaux as long as the ground is in its favour.
Albert Bartlett
No-one had an opinion on this just how horrible it was for Bryan Cooper to get the public dressing down from Michael O’Leary calling him an imbecile after last years race where he unseated on Death Duty!!!!
Stayers Hurdle
CS: Likes Sam Spinner and keep an eye out for Unowhatimeanharry
EB: Very fond of Supasundae
TM: Has had a change of heart from last year re Yanworth. but has had Penhill at home and he’s flying
Mares Novice Hurdle
No-one that keen
CS likes Dame de Compagnie each-way
JLT
TM: Terrefort
EB: Invitation Only
CS: Likes Modus if the ground dries up
Triumph Hurdle
CS: Nicky likes Apples Shakira but also likes Redicean
TM: Apples Shakira
EB: Likes Redicean
Albert Bartlett
TM: Likes Duc De Genièvres as a horse that has stamina!!
Gold Cup
CS: Total Recall and Might Bite
EB: Loves Edwulf also Native River has been laid out for it
TM: Killultagh Vic is an improver / Total Recall has a smell of Aintree about him
Foxhunters
EB: Back the Nicholls hot-pot!!!!!!!! Interesting
Naps and lays
TM: Naps Un De Sceaux - Lays Samcro
EB: Naps Un De Sceaux - Lays Might Bite
CS: Naps Samcro - Lays Footpad
Talked about a Charles Byrnes horse in a handicap but gave no name
Charity Bets
CS €100w Apples Shakira
TM €50ew Next Destination (Baltimore)
EB €50ew Josie Orders
Host Larry Tomkins had €100 on Wonderful Charm!!

Larry Tomkins, Bar Cork City (Alternative view with additions)
Was also at Larry Tompkins last night. I think the porge covered it quite well but I'll add the following.
Supreme
TM: Not worried about Getabird running out in P2P said buck house was the bravest horse he ever sat on and he did the same thing in a bumper at Listowel, he said its much more likely something spooked the horse. Said there wasn't much competition in this for the bird.
Arkle
CS: Said he saw Saint Calvados run in France and he'd be worried that form is all on flat tracks and bad ground.
4 Miler
CS: No Comment has loads of class, jumped well at Sandown and definitely has an each way chance.
Ballymore
EB: Take a good look at Samcro because like Ted Walsh said he's like are rare.
TM: Samcro not in the league of Golden Cygnet or Dunguib for him yet.
QMCC
CS: Doesn't think Nicky would have ran Altior if it wouldn't have brought him on.
MT: Extremely bullish about Douvan. Said if Ruby rides you can take it hes well and if hes well he wins. Willie/Ruby are nervous but he did a sparkling piece of work a few days ago, the problem is he has to do it another 2 or 3 times before he goes.
RSA
EB: Noel Fehily was raving about Monalee after Leopardstown.
Cross Country
EB: JO best of his, will stay best.
Bumper
TM: Said he can’t get any definite answer out of the lads in Willie's who's the best and usually when that happens he doesn't win it or you have something like Briar Hill win at 25/1 or like the year Charlie won at 33/1 for Willie.
Ryanair
Colm said back UDS at 2/1 but if he gets to 6/4 you've probably missed your chance and value gone. Was looking for odds without Waiting Patiently but also mentioned Balko Des Flos as a worry. Said doesn't know if Bachasson goes gold cup, but if he doesn't keep an eye on him for Galway plate, since sold Chateau Conti.
TM: Said he feels Willie has this race covered and doesn't expect him to run anything else in it.
Mares Novice
TM: Laurina doing everything right but hasn't heard anyone say she’s in league of Limini. Weakest race of the festival.
JLT
TM: Munir was over recently and was raving about Terrefort, Nicky’s best chance outside of big 3.
Foxhunters
EB: Said he thinks this comes a year too soon for Burning Ambition, there was 4 horses in the last race will be 24 the next day.
Other
TM: Said if Willie is sending horses to handicaps with high weights, he is not sending them for nothing, especially this year as he will need everything he can to win trainers champ in Ireland so won't be wasting anything.
CS: The Byrnes horse was Off You Go in the County, also mentioned Out Of the Loop in Coral Cup and Don't Touch It in Grand Annual

B365 are going 14/1 Samcro for supreme novice hurdle and NRNB
Stand out price
I reckon if the ground comes up heavy they will drop it in trip to the supreme.
So likely to not run but as it is NRNB you are just lending it for a week .
Get on boys !!!
