| Looking like a very tough day tomorrow. Will possibly change a few after I check the papers in the morning but here are my selections so far.
1:30 - National Hunt Chase
Arabella Boy - Enda Bolger/Nina Carberry combination with decent form and strong e/w shout.
Beshabar - Solid form, been targeted for this race, should be there or thereabouts.
2:05 - Neptune Novices Hurdle
Very competitive race, but I like the look of Tornado Bob and Minella Class. So Young seems like alot of peoples banker but odds seem a bit too short now.
2:40 - RSA Chase
Difficult to argue with Time for Rupert but again due to crap odds I'll be going for Wayward Prince and Wymott.
3:20 - Queen Mother Champion Chase
Golden Silver - Very impressive victory over Big Zeb, poor Cheltenham Record but I think the horse has improved alot. Got a feeling odds will come down fast aswell so bet early.
Woolcombe Folly - Seems to be alot of good talk about this one. Tempting odds aswell.
And even though I won't be betting on either - I think Master Minded will beat Big Zeb.
4:00 - Coral Cup
Aegean Dawn looks very difficult to beat. Tiger O'Toole seems like a decent shot at long odds.
4:40 - Fred Winter Juve Handicap
Celtus & Kayef.
5:15 - Weatherby's Champion Bumper
Not a clue yet - will look tomorrow
Good Luck All.

| Queen Mother Champion Chase.
If the ground is riding quick today, it wont suit Master Minded as much as it would with a bit of give in the ground.
If the going is quick, i would be tempted to back either Sizing Europe or Big Zeb in the Queen Mother.
Woolcombe Folly on good ground will be very interesting in a Group 1 race.
It is a wide open race. I have never backed Sizing Europe, but 2 miles is his trip, he ran a great race in the Arkle last year and if the ground is on the quick side, he must go very close.
Can see Big Zeb being backed before the off and Master Minded easing in the market if the ground is quick, will have to see how the races before the Queen Mother, seem to be.

| RSA Chase.
The main question here is how good will Mikael D'Hageunet be. 8/1 could prove to be a very big price. You cannot be anything but disappointed with his performances so far this year. That said, he has been unlucky in 1 or 2 of his races. He has jumped noticeably right handed in a couple of his runs this season, which would be a worry when going through his race at Prestbury Park.
Aiteen Thirtythree has done nothing but improve this season and has put in some very good peformances.
Willie Mullins was quite confident about Quel Espirit if the ground was on the quick side, and 16/1 could prove to be a good bet EW for a trainer who had a very good start to this Cheltenham 2011, yesterday.
Time For Rupert is an excellent chaser, has form in the book, has won over course and distance, and has a clear favourite's chance.
The one i like in the race in Wayward Prince. I made a note of this horse after he ran at Huntingdon in October. 3 wins from 3 starts over 3 miles is encouraging, and he could put in a good run today.
Another wide open race, with the main question being, how good will Mikael D'Haguenet be.

| Backed Chicago Grey again at 5/1 its got a massive chance on form if getting the trip, its record round here is very good and Quinz boosted the form too plus it goes on quick ground.

| First Lieutenant is surely worth a few quid E/W if he is half as good as Mouse Morris thinks he could be.
Richie, take your pick, a majority will be offering free bets to new members this week. I usually use Paddy Power or 365, both usually good for prices, offers etc.

| Interestingly, in todays RP Nicholls says he is slightly more hopeful of MM winning than he is of Kauto on Friday.

Thanks for that Andy. 365 have one of a 100% match but before being able to withdraw you have to play through your deposit and bonus three times which put me off
