Cheltenham Day 2 Tips and Discussion

[Julio_Geordio]

@Ceist

Sure, here are some tips and discussion for the Cheltenham Day 2 races:

1.30 Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle: This race features some talented novice hurdlers, including the likes of Gaillard Du Mesnil, Bravemansgame, and Bob Olinger. Gaillard Du Mesnil is trained by Willie Mullins and has been impressive in his last two starts, while Bravemansgame won the Challow Novices’ Hurdle at Newbury last time out. Bob Olinger is unbeaten in his three starts over hurdles and looks like a promising prospect. It’s a tough race to call, but I would lean towards Gaillard Du Mesnil as he has been in great form and has the benefit of Ruby Walsh in the saddle.

2.05 Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase: This race features some exciting novice chasers, including Monkfish, Sporting John, and The Big Breakaway. Monkfish is unbeaten in his four starts over fences and is the hot favorite to win this race. Sporting John won the Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase at Sandown last time out, while The Big Breakaway was a good winner at Cheltenham in November. It’s hard to see past Monkfish in this race, but Sporting John could be a danger if he puts in another solid performance.

2.50 Coral Cup: This race is always a tough one to call, with a large field of handicappers competing over a distance of 2m5f. Some of the key contenders this year include Grand Roi, Monte Cristo, and Eclair De Beaufeu. Grand Roi has been in great form this season and has won his last two starts over hurdles, while Monte Cristo was a good winner at Kempton last time out. Eclair De Beaufeu is trained by Willie Mullins and has some good form in France. It’s a wide-open race, but I would give Grand Roi the edge as he has been in such good form.

3.30 Queen Mother Champion Chase: This race is one of the highlights of the Cheltenham Festival and features some of the best two-mile chasers in the business. Chacun Pour Soi is the hot favorite to win this race and has been in great form this season, winning both his starts over fences. However, there are some other talented horses in the race, including Nube Negra, Put The Kettle On, and Politologue. Nube Negra was an impressive winner at Kempton last time out, while Put The Kettle On won the Arkle Challenge Trophy at Cheltenham last year. It’s hard to look past Chacun Pour Soi in this race, but Nube Negra could be a danger if he puts in another solid performance.

4.10 Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase: This is a unique race run over a distance of 3m6f and featuring a variety of different fences and obstacles. Tiger Roll is the star attraction in the race, having won this race twice before and also winning the Grand National twice. However, he faces a tough challenge from some other talented horses, including Easysland and Some Neck. Easysland won this race last year and has been in great form this season, while Some Neck was a good winner at Naas last time out. It’s hard to look past Tiger Roll in this race, but Easysland could be a danger if he puts in another solid performance.

4.50 Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase: This is a competitive handicap chase run over a distance of 2m, featuring a large field of runners. Some of the key contenders this year include Sky Pirate, Embittered, and Us And Them. Sky Pirate has been in great form this season and has won his last three starts over fences, while Embittered was a good winner at Naas last time out. Us And Them has some solid form in big handicap chases and could be a danger if he puts in a good performance. It’s a tough race to call, but I would give Sky Pirate the edge as he has been in such good form.

5.30 Weatherbys Champion Bumper: This is a race for young horses who have not yet run over hurdles or fences, and often produces some exciting prospects for the future. Some of the key contenders this year include Kilcruit, Sir Gerhard, and Ramillies. Kilcruit has been in great form this season and was an impressive winner at Leopardstown last time out, while Sir Gerhard is unbeaten in his two starts to date and could be a star in the making. Ramillies is trained by Nicky Henderson and has some solid form in bumpers. It’s a tough race to call, but I would lean towards Kilcruit as he has been in such good form.

@Rocko I hope this ceist fella isn’t costing you anything

I’m afraid you’ve reached this week’s quota for bot interactions

We go again.

1:30 - Good Land, i think he’s a backable price now at 5s.

2:10 - The Real Whacker - parish loyalty and nothing else but I do think he’ll run a really big race. He beat the same horses in the Grade 2 as Geri Columb did in the Scily Isles. He’ll go to the front, he’ll stay and he’ll jump, so I’d be hoping for a good run for the money.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Will Askeaton shut down if the whacker wins?

[TreatyStones]

Brian Collins might anyways

He’ll make a fortune offering 5’s and laying 6’s

There’s nothing worse when your on value bets and all the favs are going in.

I remember being in leopardstown one day and guys who wouldn’t know a form book if it hit them in the face made a packet after all the favs went in and I’m there silently seething drinking my pints.

Anyone know what places PP and Boyles are paying in shops for the Coral Cup and Grand Annual?

[TreatyStones]

Liz Kelly

They need to paint the shadows white

[fenwaypark]

A lad who teaches with me met the owner at a wedding last weekend. They are very sweat on him alright.

[Mac]

I’d love to see The Real Whacker win. I just think Gerri is a better horse.

[TreatyStones]

Ah sure they couldn’t but be.
Davy, the owner, will be some value for the post race interview.

@BeTimberin

I’m contemplating an eway double or a couple between the Coral and Grand Annual.

Thoughts lads?

@Mac @fenwaypark @BruidheanChaorthainn @Ceist

Are we thinking something like Icare Allen and say Global Citizen?

A couple of ew doubles in these races is a cracking idea.

I’d go with Captain Conby, Beacon Edge and HMS Seahorse in the Coral Cup and Global Citizen, Dads Lad and Call Me Lyreen in the Grand Annual

[Spidey]

Good land even money to place. Like finding it on the road

@BeTimberin - you may as well go balls deep and do the combo tricast as well

[BeTimberin]

Id be wary enough of backing against thr English in the GA Chase but I feel Ireland could dominate the Coral Cup bar maybe one place. Fuck it lads we only live once

[FlakeAway]

‘World’s most expensive’ pint of Guinness goes on sale at Cheltenham

You never regret a bet you had, you only regret the bet you never had.
