Anyone got one that they fancy at Cheltenham tomorrow?
It looks a super tricky card and I’m out ok the beers this evening so no idea what I’ll be having a go on tomorrow as it stands!
The more detail the better if you can cheers lads 🫡
Pissed off behind belief lads.
For those of you that have followed for a while… you know I keep my eyes on Intervention for a lump job once or twice a year.
Told everyone I was having a big bet today but he opened at 8/1 and was in to 7/2 within an hour so I left it.
Wins.
Looking forward to a few of these incoming again from Ben!
Fond memories found in the photo album 💰
Small loss on the day for me at Cheltenham!
5/4 and 10/1 winners and a 12/1 place for profit on the singles but a poor combo on the multis!
Anyone have a really good day?

ENTRUST and mum ENABLE
It is absolutely brillant to see that ENTRUST won on his debut. His mum was an absolute favourite of mine. I loved cheering her. Made my day.

Come with us behind the scenes with @benpauling1 at Ffos Las 🐎🎥
From the paddock to post-race reactions, we followed the team through a full day at the races.
Full video drops tonight - 7pm 👀
Mr Hollywood green as grass there and comfortably beaten!
Cosmos D’ainay very impressive to land the double for Gordon Elliot and Jack Kennedy!
Muggy double down from me!
Any of you have the winner then?
Hopefully Snipe can at least grab a place in the last for me 🤞🏻
Entrust absolutely romps home 🚀
Enable finally has a progeny superstar 👑
How did they let go off at 10/3?
Many of you on it?
Fair play JPR One, massive run off top weight that 👏🏼
Calico just mowed down at the end to miss out on a place 🤦🏻♂️
Many of you have that winner?
Over to Mr Hollywood for the muggy double to land 🤞🏻
Anyone taking that one on?
KingOfTheFrontier wins at 20/1 and the course is silent!
Surely noone had that?
Planters Punch in 2nd, ahead of the Skelton favourite CoolToBeCareless in 3rd!
I had a win single on PP so no good there but fine for the each way trixie I guess!

Bets ranked race of the day.
Bloody hard one mind.
The main question is if Planters Punch can step up to open level or not. He’s a spectacular 3-3 and looks a proper gooden. Henderson hasn’t won this since 2015 with Altior mind and it is a worry going up against a lot of older horses.
I also have Matiwo in my tracker… who just hasn’t lived up to expectations so far. Who knows that performance he will put in here mind and has drifted from 10/1 to 22/1 so I won't be going near this one today.
The rest of the race have their reasons too but yeah – Planters Punch for me at 3/1.
He was part of my full house yankee back in March and owes me nothing – but we could have a superstar on our hands here. More than happy to take the leap of faith that Hendo has him ready.
Anyone else on him too, or fancy another?
Planters Punch & CoolToBeCareless both looking fabulous😍
Who wins this next race at Cheltenham lads?
We’re going to see a future superstar come out of this race at Doncaster that’s for sure!
Enable’s progeny vs three well bred Godolphin horses vs some other lovely debutants!
Anyone having a go?
BOOOOOOOOOM
Continuance absolutely romps home 🚀
Never losing when @BensBetsOnX fancied it too 💰

Massive field full of younger jockeys. Very tough.
The Hardest Geezer has the best form on offer and he runs well fresh. Won on debut. 2ndat Newton Abbot on reappearance last year. Fell/slipped in a C1 LTO and massively down in class here. Rightful favourite to make amends. Will like the rain coming and that may pay in his favour way more than some of the others at 10/3 could look a very good price come half2.
Wondering Why won LTO and looks a horse on the up. Elliot England takes off a massive 8lb here and he was ahead of a few of these and can progress again. Will go very close (just like all 4 of Pauling's yesterday at Ffos Las) and I am tempted. May see if I can get 5/1 before comitting.
Kepitein Kool has Kenneally on board who doesn’t get a claim but he’s one of the best jockeys in the race and must fancy his chances here. May want heavier ground but has fitness on side and I can see why people would be keen.
Loriko has come 2112113 this year hasn’t creeped up much in that time. Could easily be well handicapped here still before going on to bigger and better things. Dominic Lewis is taking off a massive 10lb and this ground will suit. 7/1 to 11/1 overnight though... interesting.
Wild Goose has fitness on side but this is toughest race to date and no 10lb claimer on board today after a rise in the weights and surely Fern can’t this one across the line in front?
To be honest it’s difficult to be keen on any of them when guessing the ground (non stop rain tonight and tomorrow). Maybe one of the outsiders wins here… but also not sure who to go with.
I do really like Wondering Why but I think I am going to go with Continuance. 2nd here in December over C&D and is off the same mark here today. Trainer won this in 2017 and has fitness on side. The last 8 winners of this race were aged 5-6 and its just another box to be ticked. Money is coming too (20/1 in to 14/1 when I wote this last night... and now in to 10/1 ugh) and yeah, I’m keen to have a go.
Hopefully this one wins and Wondering Why comes 2nd as I will probably play an each way cover bet on that one and maybe just maybe a tiny reverse forecast.
Who does everyone else like?
East India Express done in a photo!
Ah well, will take the profit on the each way single at 9/1 and not a bad start to the each way trixie!
Many of you have the winner, Frontier Prince?

1.15) C3 Handicap Hurdle over 2m4f
1st: £13,202
2nd: £6,075
3rd: £3,038
4th: £1,520
5th: £758
French Ship won this last year after UR at Chepstow a couple weeks before which doesn’t give us much.
East India Express fell in this last year after being badly hampered by another faller. He was top weight then and favourite so redemption could be on the cards this year carrying 5lb less. He has PU twice since then and been pumped twice in harder races too but was a brilliant 2nd on NYD at Windsor so does still have it in his locker. Won fresh the year before and on debut so should be ready. Intriguing back down in class for sure at with 5 places on offer. 11/2 out to 8/1 overnight though…
Crooked Path won LTO and is ahead of his mark. Won going away last week and the step up in trip could suit here. With that fitness on side you can see why he’s 2F here and I wouldn’t be putting people off getting on at all and 9/2 is nearly a nice price for those that are keen.
Sunny South West has fitness on side winning on the flat a few weeks back and surely not coming over from Ireland just for a leg stretcher. Kennelly taking off a valuable 3lb too and he could be really unexposed here and I can see why they have him as favourites. Again, wouldn’t be putting anyone off getting on this one but do feel the price has got an at 10/3 I am going to be looking elsewhere myself.
John Barbour won LTO has been going very close bar the blip in March when PU at Uttoxeter with form of 412121 otherwise. Some real strong form lines when 2nd at Ascot in a big C2 handicap in February and his wins were pretty impressive. May need the run here on seasonal reappearance and the market suggests that (7/1 out to 14/1 overnight) and this drifted isn’t for me.
Norman Fletcher is off a low mark and has a 5lb claimer with fitness on side. Hardest run in a while thought and in a long losing run so probably gets found out here but I can see why people would be tempted at 9/1 for a hard who has done well so far this season.
Froniter Prince won last month on reappearance and has been running at a higher level last season. Could be a massive price here at 10/1 up 8lb which isn’t his ceiling. Probably not for me though.
Morning Mayhem has loads of fitness on side running continently over the summer and could again be a massive price here. Fittest horse in the field and won his last C3 so 12/1 could be good value for sure if another run hasn’t come too soon.
HandleTheKettle is another with loads of fitness on side and also won his last C3 and has come 2nd in a C2 recently since. 4-8 under rules and will be giving this a good go for sure and 12/1 could again me a massive price.
La Pinsonniere has loads of fitness on side too and back over hurdles could spark an improvement. Is 1-13 over the smaller obstacles and this is his distance. Best jockey in the race on board and Hendo could have her ready for sure. 14/1 is a big price for the believers for sure.
The next 4 in the market all have young claiming jockeys on board and I can’t see them winning myself and are these odds for a reason.
Bloody hell this is soooooooo tough.
Real difficult race to start the day.
I think I’m going to go for East India Express here at 8/1 with 4 places on offer. Redemption could be on the cards for last years unlucky fall and he runs well fresh. Let’s hope to take advantage and not offence of the drift eh.
Who does everyone like here?
Multi plans...
