I’m going Tuesday, I’ve been piling in to Acey Milan in the champion bumper over the last month, I’m on the big 4 quad on day, one of them will get turned over but I’m buggerd if I can find one to oppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to leave before the last race to get back to Bristol before 7. Its always enjoyable, they’ve got so much going on that you could go the whole day without seeing a race and enjoy it Best of luck to you if you are having a dabble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a bus ticket with your train ticket and it takes you to the course. It is walkable, with the predicted weather I would bud it though I would recommend going for breakfast and beers/ciders/shots whichever you prefer in the morning outside of Cheltenham then aim to get to the course at 12ish. It’s mayhem, a friend drove from Reading last year and the A40? towards Oxford was standstill until about 9 at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalashnikov 4/1 in the first. £20 max stake with Sky Bet and if he loses you get your stake back as a free bet. If he wins you’re £100 up. He did get beat by 8/1 Summerville Boy in january on heavy ground, definitely worth an E/W shout. Footpad always seems to struggle on the hill at Cheltenham and at his current odds not worth the risk in the second. Bevuer D’Air is my banker for the day. Followed closely by Apples Jade. Unfortunately at Cheltenham anything can happen. Hope you have an enjoyable day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wouldn't walk it but there are loads of double decker buses that take you to the course from the station The leave from the opposite side to where the train pulls in - very well organised so you wont be hanging around too long even if it is really busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 The best week of the year is upon us. I am going on Wednesday. Just spent 3 hours studying tomorrow so hope it was time well spent! Can only back shorties in an acca so will have a bit on Footpad, Buveur D'Air and Apple's Jade at 4/1 Other than that, narrowed it down to these. Might have to rule some out tomorrow if any drift as that is too many bets! 1:30 Summerville Boy 15/2, Claimantakinforgan 16/1 14:50 Beware the Bear 16/1, Coo Star Saviola 5/1 16:50 Ms Parfois 7/1, Jury Duty 6/1 17:30 Any Second Now 6/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 1.30 Debuchet 33/1 £20 on with sky bet, £20 back if it loses. Needs to improve but certainly has a chance of doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a small field can’t see Footpad winning, unless Ruby Walsh rides him right, he always struggles around the Hill. Hope I’m wrong for you though (and considering I’m not a multi millionaire professional gambler you should be alright) Beware the Bear looks a strong contender as well at long odds.

TMWANG50 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Anyone got any parking recommendations I'm going tomorrow don't really want to pay £20 to park!! #tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted March 13, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 If you come through Swindon village, before getting to the course you go down Swindon Lane - there are a few "un-official" parking places in fields etc around there, but with a wet forecast tomorrow parking in a field may not be worth it just to save a £10 ?

Ealing Robin Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 As a resident i can yeild some advice... 20 min walk to montpellier from station, plenty of bars and places to eat, plus you can then use the taxi rank which actually has taxis regularly flying through, or go to Harry Cooks and they will do a return coach ticket direct from the pub.
