I was told Acey Milan was the one to back.
I know nothing about horse racing.

Looking forward to today's selections Pax My daughter's tipster colleague does seem knowledgeable but if he could win consistently he would be doing it full time. Plus I know that he makes his money by betting heavily on a small number of selected races not by trying to go through the entire card at the most heavily scrutinised NH meeting of the year. He is just doing for his workmates for a bit of fun and to raise some money for charity. I'm sure you know all this perfectly well, but I don't want to take over from Dr Chang and that Russian idiot as the most despised person on this forum. He rates all his selections as 0.5 & 1 / 2 / 3 which translates as speculative / fancied / strongly fancied. 1.30 Black Op e/w (or to win without Samcro) 1pt 2.10 Dounikos and Elegant Escape Both to win 1pt 2.50 Le Breuil e/w 0.5pt 3.30 Min win 1pt 4.10 Causes of Causes win 2pts 4.50 Look My Way e/w 1pt 5.30 Acey Milan win 3pts Bob's Orange seems to know something about horses and has come up with pretty different selections and I'm sure Bambooshoe will do the same. It's a fucking lottery basically. But... this guy has only picked three 3 pointers in the whole four days. Two are odds-on (including Footpad which won yesterday) but Acey Milan is his third strong bet which he got on at 10-1 and is still at 7-1 now. I note that Bob's O also likes it plus NMH's mate. I chickened out and did it each way but it's going to be my biggest bet of the week. The value of tips from complete strangers can go down as well as up.

I have to be honest I don’t know a lot about horses, most of my tips come via reading tipsters who are ten a penny. I follow one for football bets who I have found to be very concistent and he recommended a fellow tipster for horses. It’s not an exact science unfortunately but I think worth sharing tips (and it’s all play money anyway - please remember to bet responsibly boys and girls) Pax - thanks for your into on Acey Milan. Could be the bet of the day. Charlie Austin is big into his horses and also shares his tips on Twitter. He seems to know what he’s doing.

Don't worry Pax/BO - I won't be gunning for you if they don't win - but some guidance is better than me picking because I like the name.

2.10 Black Corton e/w regular winning combo of Jockey and horse. Loves the soft and loves 3miles at Cheltenham. Beat Elegant Escape recently recently too. Should be a good battle between those two. Dounikos should not be dismissed. 2.50 William Henry e/w Matches well with James Bowen and this horse seems to enjoy the hurdles over chases. One of the top weights. Interesting outsider would be Flemcara (Jamie Carragher relation? ) Just can't warm to Le Breuilfor the win as the ground improves to soft. Hope it proves me wrong however with 6 places available should be good value for the e/w 3.30 It's Altiors to Lose but Douvan will challenge. Good luck guys.

Scrap Douvan going close in the 3.30. Ruby Walsh has broken his leg. All money onto Altior (I know everyone is hyping it up) now and e/w value onto Politologue at 14s. Altior has beaten is before but two extra places up for grabs.

Sorry if its a stupid questions, what happens with Douvan now? Do they get a replacement jockey, or is it a non runner? I've gone for Altior so non runner suits me :-)

Not a stupid question btw, sometimes it can get withdrawn as the horse may have been set up to ride only with that jockey, so it would become a NR. In big meets though, a lot of vested interest and money put into these horses so usually a rider can replace. It was actually a really good question.

I had that in my placepot but backed La Beuile in the race for some reason! At least my placepot is still alive and barring disaster in the next should still be alive after the 4th.
