Gold Cup - Kauto Star
Champion Chase - Master Minded
Arkle - Calgary Bay
Ryanair - Voy Por Ustedes
Champion Hurdle - Celestial Halo, although I would love one of the old boys like Hardy Eustace or Brave Inca to win again
World Hurdle - Blazing Bailey
Mares Hurdle - Chomba Womba
 
Champion Hurdle - Binocular
Champion Chase - Master Minded
Arkle - Calgary Bay
Ryanair - Voy Por Ustedes
Gold Cup - Kauto Star

Rather frustratingly will be at work all day every day! not sure i could watch the gold cup though.
 
Havent looked properly at the entries but heres the big 3

Champion Hurdle - Binocular
Queen Mother - Master Minded
Gold Cup - I know hes not as impressive as last year but ive everything crossed for Denman.

Just to add

The foxhunters - Amicelle. Although hope Always Right runs well.

XC - L Ami or Garde Champetre. (you cant really bet against on of Bolgers (now ive said that hell draw a blank)
 
anyone read the article in the Independent by paul Nicholls - Denman was sweating for 2 hours after the gold cup last year and stood with his head in the corner of his stable for 2 weeks. Poor boy!
 
no idea at the moment, i normally pick them out based on form and how they look in the ring but am off there tomorrow so thats all good and i cant wait!
 
I never place a bet until I see them in the paddock. Drives hubby nuts as the bookies phone lines are all engaged.
 
Well done gone to france id have never picked Forpaddytheplasterer. Didnt think hed fight as much as he did.

Have fun tomorrow Chumsmum. Queen Mother day is my favorite. Agree with you bout exotic dancer but am being loyal and will support Denman even with no chance.
 
Can you tell I spend too much time watching ATR...........

Sicilian Secret has apparently not eaten up, so that might scupper him in the bumper 2moz.

He was hugely impressive in the Leopardstown trials last week..........
 
You cant spend to much time watching ATR. I dont have it where im working at the mo although thats prob a good thing. Im so out the loop at the mo that other than the big races i dont really have much clue whats what.

STill cant see anything to beat Master Minded but then i though that about Binoular and although Im delighted for the Tooths would never have picked him out either. Very glad i dont actually put any money on.

And agree with Millbrook Song, i also think Neputne Collonge for the Gold Cup, it's what all the lads at work think too..
 
I love NC, but he's not the class of KC.

The ground will be the factor tho'......

The bumper's a fab race for all the plots and secret weapons, I love it!!!

SS is only my choice from his workout, as I said. We'll know 2moz!
