Cheltenham Day 3 Tips and Discussion

Big move for Princess Zoe. Halved in price and @BruidheanChaorthainn Marvel De Cerisy is down to single figures now in the plate. On the former Ladybank could be worth a few euros ew. De Bromheads bottom tier string but looks open to a lot of improvement and should have won against Princess Zoe only for Blackmore to lose her whip in the run in. Might be finishing better than most going off that last run but plenty to find on ratings. History of big priced winners in this race.

Marvel De Cerisy but value gone now

Had being backing it down from 50/1. What was his final tally?

Jaysus!! He was on Facebook this morning complaining about Bet365.

Why

They have his account locked because of affordability checks.

Taking a chance on Didero Vallis in the Kim Muir.

Was 3rd in this race last year off 127 beaten 3.5L by Chambard who went up to 141 following that run.

Chambard was actually declared for this but is now a NR.

Didero Vallis is bottom weight off 118 here and I think will go close for last years winning combination of Venetia Williams and Lucy Turner.

50/1 ew

Surely bollocks

Are they checking if they can afford to pay him out is it?

If you were backing it from 50/1 it’s not that much of a stretch?

His voice is gone :joy:

No, my source would be good on this and he’s seen some of the slips. Had one bet to win 24k on course yesterday at 8s, and had some sizeable ante post wagers at big prices.

And modest too

Some of the slips Ive seen had returns of 4 figures and smallish 5 figures and a few multis that are now dead.

It’s absolute insanity.
They only want to check you can afford to bet after you’ve won a pile of money. Would they have given him his money back if he’d lost and proved he couldnt afford it?

Fair weak race here. Between this and the rsa you’d barely have a good field.

Early in the year for a good barley field in fairness
