Cheltenham 2014....

[cpo]

I just wanted to get everyones thoughts on which horses will be going where next year as I quite fancy putting on some ante-post bets. The big one for me is Bob's Worth. I don't see anything beating him next year if he gets there in 1 piece. Sprinter Sacre for the Champion Chase again but you will probably be lucky to get 1/4. I quite fancy Big Bucks to return in the World Hurdle and regain his crown. The really tricky one is the Champion Hurdle... I don't really know what to make of it. I don't think Hurricane Fly will win it next year but then what do you take him on with. Our Connor was so impressive today but then so was The New One and no doubt MTOY will be a contender. Where will Simonsig go next year? Gold Cup - Bobs Worth Champion Hurdle - My Tent or Yours / The New One / Our Connor Champion Chase - Sprinter Sacre World Hurdle - Big Bucks

Re: Cheltenham 2014.... I think the Gold Cup is one to stay away from at the moment, if Sprinter Sacre/Cue Card/Harry Topper/Back In Focus go down that route, we could be in for an unbelievable Gold Cup next year. But i do agree, Bobs Worth would be the likely winner for next year, although 9/2 is plenty short enough with a full 12 months to wait again. Our Conor is a great bet for the Champion Hurdle next year, the Fly wouldn't have come near him judging on their performances at the festival this week, IMO.
