    More confident today than yesterday but we know how that usually ends up then. Here goes;

    Blood Destiny
    Hunters Yarn
    Sandor Clegane
    Conflated
    Famous Clermont
    Magic Daze
    Imagine

    All the best to everyone having a go

    Good morning all, hope we’re all having a good Cheltenham and enjoying the races. Will be a very good one for me if either or both, BLOOD DESTINY and GDC win as I have them in many multiples and accas. So will keep it plain and simple today and will follow W Mullins runners.

    1.30 BLOOD DESTINY
    2.10 SHARJAH EW
    2.50 EMBASSY GARDENS EW
    3.30 GDC
    4.10 BILLAWAY
    4.50 ADV

    Good luck everyone

    3.30 GDC win Ahoy Senor ew
    4.10 Bob And Co ew
    4.50 ADV win
    5.30 Iroko win
    A little ew Lucky 15 with my ew selections too.
    All the very best with yours all:emoticon-0148-yes::emoticon-0167-beer:

    ok final day - I have had better festivals but not been all bad!

    1.30 I have flip flopped from Lossiemouth to BLOOD DESTINY. Looks to be the improving horse and form has been franked this week.
    Soft ground will also help
    2.10 First Street has that all important festival form but I am leaning towards PEMBROKE as the solid bet in this race. Ballyadam and Pied Piper also good each way alternatives
    2.50 Plenty with chances but CORBETTS CROSS looks a pretty strong favourite. Embassy Gardens a good each way bet along with Stay away Fay
    3.30 Galopin des Champs looks to be the one to beat but in a Gold Cup he looks a bit too short.
    My only ante post bet of the festival was on BRAVEMANSGAME and whilst i am a little less confident now I still think he has a good chance.
    Noble Yeats and Minella Indo to run into a place
    4.10 Vaucelet with The Storyteller each way
    4.50 Allegorie de Vassy
    5.30 Might I - might just have that touch of class to win this.

    If he takes that hat and specs combo off you can see he’s a fan of Mick Miller

    Away from the Festival...

    3.45 Fakenham-Parramount @ 5-2 [Bet 365]

    Would not look out of place if running at Cheltenham

    Davy Russell stood down. The law of sod suggests Conflated will piss him right off in 20 mins time. Noble Yeats to stay on best up the hill for me though
