Race 1 Supreme Novices - Bright Ocean No chance. Has been disappointing
Race 2 Arkle Challenge Novice Chase - Turquoise Sky More than likely too short. Will be lucky to place
Race 3 JLT Handicap Chase- Leopards Walk Ideally wants it a furlong or two shorter but is nicely weighted and could surpise
Race 4 Champion Hurdle- Snow Power The dark horse in the field. Expecting a big run and could easily surprise. Loves Cheltenham
Race 5 Glenfarclas Handicap Chase- Spice Wolf Targeted Race. Course distance ideal. Nicely weighted expecting him to be right there.
Race 6 David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle- Burnt City Rerouted from Champion Hurdle. Might be a furlong too far though
Race 7 Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle G1- Scheme of Things Targeted race. Would prefer a little further nevertheless should be very close
Race 9 RSA Novice's Chase G1- Wall Street Too far but may hang on for a place. Front runner.
Race 10 Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle- Special Forces Better chaser and over a little further, but nicely weighted ignore at your peril
Race 11 Queen Mother Champion Chase- Dragon Keeper Good ground and propensity to fall when about to takeover tempers enthusiasm. But if he finishes will more than likely win
Race 13 Fred Winter Juv. Handicap Hurdle- All Square No chance
Race 14 Champion Bumper G1- Bright Start Cant see him beating Cheltonium but will be in first 3
Race 15 Golden Miller Novices' Chase G2- Catherine the Great Better as a hurdler.
Race 16 Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle- Red Queen Better as a chaser. But weighted ok and Cheltenham suits
Race 17 Ryanair Chase- North By Northwest Stables best chance of the day. Chase debut been running over hurdles Would be shocked if he doesn't win.
Race 18 World Hurdle- Dry Path Will be right there. It's a strong field though
Race 19 Byrne Group Handicap Plate Chase- Tiste Edur Top class hurdler but must have a good chance off this weight
Race 20 Kim Muir Challenge - German Spy Very disappointing. But likes CHelteham. Would be a shock winner though
Race 21 Triumph Hurdle - Ghost Reason Ideal distance and course. Will he get up in time is the main worry. One of stables best chances of day and I have a good record in this race
Race 22 County Handicap Hurdle- World Peace Nicely weighted but course not ideal
Race 23 Spa Novices' Hurdle- Country Music Has too ways of running could either destroy the field or finish unplaced. Difficult to assess
Race 24 Gold Cup Chase- Ancient Of Lore Ultra consistent. Runs up with the pace. Will be right there. Hoping for a win
Race 25 Paul Moores Grade 1- Bad Company Too far but might be placed.


Write your thoughts on your stables chances below.

Race 1 Supreme Novices - Aldino Nice Horse, Should go close .
Race 2 Arkle Challenge Novice Chase - Mystic Music hoping for a top four.
Race 3 JLT Handicap Chase- Lady Rosanna, run well all season might have to much weight now.
Race 4 Champion Hurdle- Shawiya started well but has lost her form, top six.
Race 6 David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle- French Ballerina probably outclassed
Race 8 Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle G1- Lady Cricket should run well
Race 9 RSA Novice's Chase G1- Twin Oaks, Hoping he runs to his best.
Race 10 Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle- Pearlyman a so so horse.
Race 11 Queen Mother Champion Chase- Gaye Brief outclassed
Race12 National Hunt- Brief Gale class act might get away with the distance.
Race 16 Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle- Run And Skip well h'capped should win with that weight.
Race 17 Ryanair Chase- Only Royale had a fantastic season but this is not the race for her.
Race 18 World Hurdle- Newnham my biggest disappointment of the season, who knows.
Race 19 Byrne Group Handicap Plate Chase- Clever Folly loves Cheltenham but might have to much weight now
Race 20 Kim Muir Challenge - Dublin Flyer very talented but has been woeful.
Race 21 Triumph Hurdle - Tourist Attraction should run well.
Race 22 County Handicap Hurdle- Lady Rebecca well weighted should go close.
Race 23 Spa Novices' Hurdle- Berude Not Too probably wants better ground to show his best.
Race 24 Gold Cup Chase- Greenbank Park I will let the horse do the talking
Race25 Martin Pipe- Little Bay might run in to a place.
Race26 Grand Annual- Maid of Money well weighted but has been injured in a couple of races so who knows.
Race 27 Paul Moores Grade 1- Knock Hill not a out and out stayer but still could run well.

Race 1 Supreme Novices - Inconsequential was going to run in the Fred Winter but went up 12lbs for a good run in the Finesse Nov Hurdle last week so has been rerouted. Will be delighted to finish in the first 6.
Race 2 Arkle Challenge Novice Chase - Tunes will probably find a few too good but has an ew chance.
Race 3 JLT Handicap Chase - Grecian Urn could do with an extra furlong or 2.
Race 4 Champion Hurdle - Penny Pincher loves Cheltenham and expecting her to go very close. Will be disappointed not to place at least.
Race 5 Glenfarclas Handicap Chase - Savage Island has been poor in all runs so far. I'm hoping the step up in trip will help but stable is not confident.
Race 6 David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle - Costume Fetish is a 2m6f handicap chaser and has no chance whatsoever.
Race 7 Centenary Novices Hcap Chase - Glint Of Gold would be running in the Ryanair if I hadn't uploaded him as a novice. This trip is on the sharp side but will be running on up the hill. Will be happy with a top 5 finish.
Race 8 Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle G1 - Time Charter is my banker of the meeting and will be gutted if she gets beat.
Race 10 Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle - Mr Prospector has too much weight and will struggle to do better than a midfield finish. He does like Cheltenham though.
Race 11 Queen Mother Champion Chase - Lost Patrol has been thereabouts in virtually every race he's contested. He has a definite ew chance.
Race 12 Race National Hunt Nov Chase - Miles To Go has run well over 3m4f and will be right in the mix if he stays.
Race 14 Champion Bumper G1 - Lone Soldier loves Cheltenham and will take some beating. One of my best chances of a winner.
Race 15 Golden Miller Novices' Chase G2- Frankenfurter ran well in the Scilly Isles Nov Chase on heavy. Better going should suit and has a decent ew chance.
Race 16 Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle - Humble Spirit never seems to run 2 races alike. Has a nice weight and would have a chance on a going day.
Race 17 Ryanair Chase - Silent Running was my best 2m hurdler in trials but best run has been in a 2m4f G2 chase. I'm not sure about the trip but he is another who saves his best for Cheltenham. Will be happy to finish in the first 6.
Race 18 World Hurdle - Sonic Glory is running because my first choice Tiny Feet has been so bad. While she just about gets 3m on sharper tracks, the hill will find her out big time here.
Race 19 Byrne Group Handicap Plate Chase - Tumbledown Wind has been very disappointing after an encouraging start to the season. Has a nice weight but expect him to find a few too good. He's also a hold up horse who will need plenty of luck in running.
Race 20 Kim Muir Challenge - Show Boat is another who has been very disappointing, however, this trip will suit better than 3m and he does have a very nice weight. Could surprise.
Race 21 Triumph Hurdle - Project Rage has been largely consistent all season but once again he will find a few of his rivals too good.
Race 22 County Handicap Hurdle - Song And Dance has a big weight and trip is on the sharp side. Up against it.
Race 24 Gold Cup Chase - Northern Soul is yet another who loves Cheltenham. Unlikely to be good enough to win but would not be surprised to see her lead the field down to the last fence. Will be delighted to finish in the first 5.
Race 25 Martin Pipe Hcap Hurdle - Bad Girl has disappointed all season and can't see that changing.
Race 26 Grand Annual Hcap Chase - Dyna Mite has won twice already this season but will struggle to make it 3 off a big weight.
Race 27 Paul Moores G1 - Free Ride takes a big hike in trip and class. If he runs ok will probably head to the GN.
