Why does odds checker show like 50 horses per race? Is that even possible :S

I can get some at massive odds, road to riches 20/1 betfred, you still have this horse as number 1? :p

I'm going to back 6-7 of your picks, I'll probably go for the ones with huge odds :p

Hills are giving money back as a free bet if your Supreme Novices selection loses, I think to new clients only. If you set up the Hills account via Quidco you get £31 cashback. You also get 3x£10 free bets, all of which tempts me to go e/w on QEWY which beat some good horses in an excellent time lto. Douvan is clearly strongly fancied but is awfully short priced for the minefield that is Cheltenham.

Make sure you get non runner money back when you place your bets , there are lots of runners in these races but there will be lots of non runners / multiple entries.

Hills free bet if your Supreme novices selection loses applies to all clients, not just the new ones. Apologies for misleading post above.

UDS is a hot fav for the Arkle but shares a topspeed rating of 148 with Vibrato Valtat and Three Kingdoms. These two are available at 11/2 and 20/1 respectively. Given that UDS is a bit temperamental it seems possible he might throw a wobbly in the Cheltenham mayhem. VV looks nailed on to make the frame, and TK has some decent form with him, and I suspect might also get a change of jockey in the form of AP. Both decent value e/w shots.

Ptit Zig can bounce back from his fall to win JLT novices on Thursday; this could be the next Kauto Star in embryo. In the bumper, Supasundae won a decent race at Ascot in December when with A Balding and has been bought by connections of Sizing Europe etc. He is a son of Galileo, and quickened impressively at Ascot. This race is always very open but he is likely to run a big race at a price.

Think we should back all w Mullins horses haha, at the moment he has destroyed the field, completely different class. Think he has 1 more left, did anyone do a 4 fold? :p

Betfred offered the 4 fold last weekend as a 20-1 price boost but I didnt do it myself although it was good value and up until the last fence Annie power took I was regretting not doing it.
Cheltenham is always difficult and all the big field really do make it difficult finding winners , I was actually in 2 minds whether to send any tips for some of the big fields but the selections are system qualifiers and there is always the chance that we could still have a profitable Cheltenham so onwards and upwards and hopefully today will produce some winners.

good luck
