richard-westwood got a reaction from maxironchin in Racing Chat - Tuesday 12th March (Cheltenham)
450 chelt boodles
Liari. 8.7 12.5
Eagle fang. 8.5 20/1
Milan tino. 8.3 9.4
These three are a bit clear of rest so at decent prices I'll go 10 PT wins all 3
2pt win doubles choices in both above races

Supreme novices final ratings
Tullyhill. 9.1 (already backed 9/2)
Slade steel. 8.8 6/1
Tellherthename. 8.3
Favourandfortune. 8.2
Top two look best on ratings ...the other two are lively big prices for Ew hunters ....already backed tullyhill for 20 PT win...so I'll add Slade steel 20pt and 5pt forecasts both

Champion hurdle
State man 9.3
Iberico lord. 8.6
Nemean lion. 8.6
Luccia 8.2
State man should win this easily barring a disaster but you never know what's gonna happen .....already got 10pt Ew on nemean lion at 20/1 ......just for some action I'll back 10pt Ew on iberico too ...it's more fun bets but let's hope for a miracle 🫣🙏

It's been a tough few weeks ratings wise ....going sticks of an average 3.6 which is bottom less have made life difficult and Saturdays imperial I changed tack and thought I'd use trends just to help narrow the race and then the untrended ratings get the 1st and 2nd !!!.....so for Cheltenham I'm using untrended ratings (i.e all runners regardless) and the ground is drying ...currently soft...5.6 but could get to good sft (6.3)...later in week hopefully
Final ratings for ultima hcaps
Eldorado Allen. 9.0 20/1
Stumptown 8.9
Chianti classico. 8.9
Monbeg genius. 8.4
Lord de nesnil 8.4
As you'd expect a very very difficult race not least because meetingofwaters the fav for Mullins has recently been bought by j p McManus for a large sum so maybe they've got dreams of winning this and the grand national ???....but for me this horse is going to have to improve a lot on what he's shown to date but if he's something special at home and that's why he's bought in then could be dangerous
I've already got bets Ew on stumptown and Chianti classico so I'm happy with those given I get a run 😃.....the horse that's surprised me is ...eldorado Allen who has jumped to top rated on final weights so I'll be adding 10pt Ew on him at 20/1 ...that looks good value now
Monbeg genius and lord de nesnil look lively outsiders at big prices ....tough race but the team is set ...let's hope I can get the festival off to a good start .....good luck all

richard-westwood reacted to calva decoy in Racing Chat - Tuesday 12th March (Cheltenham)
After looking at the first day decs i can see W.Mullins bagging 4 or 5 winners with 6 of the 12 in the Supreme , hope I'm wrong , he had a lot of odds on favourites turned over at the Dublin Festival but his 2nd & 3rd string those days were most probably their seasonal pinnacle races .
I fancy G.Elliotts NDAAWI 17/2 in 4.50 , he's won 3 of last 6 renewals of this race . 3rd 12/1 , missed out on b.o.g. but risk you take going early .
Sky Bet are giving all cash back on the Supreme maximum bet £5 in which I did MYSTICAL POWER 7/2 .
Galileo out of Annie Power , some breeding , quirky type , still green but very talented & best of all , if it comes last , I get my cash back 👍 2nd , got cash back & good run for my money .

I like Lively Citizen as well. 40's is a hell of a price way too big decent e/w chance imo.
Good Luck Bud 👍

Final race I've looked at on day 1 is the ultima.....I've given the computer every piece of information I could find ....it's done three diff scans currently and came back with same two horses clear .....stumptown...and Chianti classico...the later I think will need good sft to enhance chances so its a tough race but those two will be my ew bets
Stumptown 10pt Ew 10/1 nrnb
Chianti classico 10pt Ew 8/1 nrnb

Supreme novices ratings
Ballyburn 9.0 evs
Tullyhill 8.7 9/2
Slade steel. 8.2
Ile atlantique. 8.2
Anotherway. 8.2
Top 2 are clear of rest so most likely winners will be one or the other ...interesting stat that most winners of supreme had achieved a postmark of 148 plus ...ballyburn is 157 (easy) .....the other 4 are around the 146 region so that very much strengthens the top rated

I've just been happily sitting waiting for Cheltenham so I'm starting to wake up now ready for action .....just on the hunt for some value bets and there will be lots this year given the state of the ground in the run up races ......my current ratings for the champion hurdle day 1 ...
State man 9.2 4/11
Pied piper. 8.7
Nemean lion 8.6
Echoes in rain 8.2
Fils douderies. 8.1
State man should win this barring any drama .. he's probably 10lb superior to all these but anything can and does happen at Cheltenham so it's no certainty ....value wise ...to me the value bets are pied piper and nemean lion if they run ....echoes in rain also has a squeak Ew but has a lot to improve .....with the race now wide open for places and needing a bet for the big race those 2 with nrnb look the call to get some action rolling
Pied piper 10pt Ew 14/1 nrnb enhanced
Nemean lion 10pt Ew 20/1 nrnb
