As far as I can remember Hobbs had always said it was ground dependant for Captain Chris, with the Jewson if it was going to be fast ground. He has his preferred ground tomorrow and I reckon he will be a real danger. Wouldn't be surprised to see him beat at least a couple of the three market leaders.

Spirit Son must be very special as it is well known how highly Geraghty rates Sprinter Sacre. Cue Card is a worthy market leader but you never know how much possible improvement something has like Spirit Son. Not a race I ever get too heavily involved with.

I would love to see HF win the CH, and will wait until reading tomorrows RP before I decide who I fancy backing. Peddlers Cross ticks a lot of the right boxes and will certainly be storming up the hill. IF, and its a big IF, HF does prove good enough (he hasn't ran in a race as good as this, and a lot of his gd1 wins are on soft ground) then his finishing speed could see the race over and done with in a couple of shakes.

Quevega is banker material, and will be one of my main bets of the day.

Racing post this morning mate quotes from Henderson.

I take back those defensive comments I made about Henderson last night then mate





That's fair enough if that's the case mate, I can't say I've seen any quotes saying his run was ground dependant just that it was likely he'd be going for that rathe than Arkle. I still fancy him to go well, one that I've always liked and I've been looking forward to his Cheltenham run.

HF is favourite in places now for the CH, Ladbrokes have him 3s with Menorah 10/3. Both 9/2 with Skybet.

FWIW, I've read on Facebook Cheltenham page that someone seen a bet being taken of £1,000 E/W @ 33s on a horse called Kayef, it is entered for two of the hurdles but they weren't sure which one the bet was on.

Though so. Didn't know if you had found a type of bet I hadn't heard of though! Looking forward to getting my picks whacked on in the morning!

I just wasn't being consistent which confused everybody.
