Friday was the twist of the knife with several horses finishing one place out of the payout places, and tips like Quel Destin (backed from 10/1 to 4/1) without reward summed up our week.

Gold Cup (Ante-post NRNB)
Elegant Escape - 1pt ew at 25/1: unplaced, SP 20/1

Stayers Hurdle (Ante-post NRNB)
Lil Rockerfeller - 1pt ew at 25/1: Non-Runner

Festival Specials

Top Jockey - Daavy Russell - 2pts at 11/2: Lost
Top Owner - Gigginstown House Stud - 2pts at 13/8: Lost

Nico de Boinville took the Top Jockey award with three winners. Mullins was tied with Henderson with four winners, but took the Top Trainer award on countback.

It was a very disappointing week for Gigginstown, who only managed one winner on the week. JP McManus's fortunes were quite the opposite, as he claimed 5 winners over the four days.

LW

An emphatic winner to start the meeting on the front foot for us. Klassical Dream was one of the two tips that we published for free to our free betting tips email list.

Well what a breathless afternoon, what a breathless meeting. The Flyer finished with a flourish, with 5/1 and 16/1 winners, a couple of places, and emphatic returns from his specials tips on the week, with Elliott & Russell claiming their respective titles, at 9/4 and 10/1.

Meeting Specials

Festival. I have been through them all and these are the best value bets.

1. Prestbury Cup - Ireland to win 6pts win at 5/6: WON
2. Davy Russell - Top Jockey - 2pts win at 10/1: WON
3. Gordon Elliott - Top Trainer - 4pts win at 9/4: WON

Total Staked = 12pts: Total Return, 46pts

And our 'Hotpots' article listed Apples Shakira as a LAY - some day from our horse racing tipster, on the biggest stage of all.

LW

The team took an 11pt profit in to the third day of the meeting, and while it wasn't a great day for our individual selections - our specials tips for the week are in fantastic shape. We suggested 6pts at 5/6 for Ireland to win the Prestbury Cup - which is already home and hosed - while Davy Russell's three timer puts him top of the Jockey lists. We're on him at 10/1.

Cheltenham
13.30: Terrefort 1pt ew at 9/2: 2nd SP 3/1
14.10: Thomas Campbell 1pt ew at 25/1: unplaced SP 20/1
14.50: Frodon 1pt ew at 11/1: unplaced SP 9/1

16.50: Marias Benefit 1pt ew at 7/1: unplaced SP 9/2
17.30: Wild West Wind 1pt ew at 20/1: UR, SP 25/1

Also, in our 'hotpots' article, we suggested Un De Sceaux was a lay, which was vindicated as he was turned over at short odds of 8/11.

LW

The team were trying to follow up on Tuesday's three winners and it was another day for the bookies to suffer - with popular horses going in all afternoon. Here how we got on.

Stake 18, Return 15.90

Couple of wins and places meant no damage done and we're carrying our healthy positive balance in to Thursday's betting tips for the Cheltenham Festival.

LW

Is there anything better than a winner at Cheltenham? We kicked off the meeting in sensational style with three winners on the card, for a handsome 13pt profit to start to proceedings.

Total Stake = 22pts, Total Return = 35.25pts

And in our 'Hotpots - Should you be a Backer or a Layer' piece our first analysis was vindicated as Footpad was well backed and en emphatic winner of the Arkle.

LW

After a quiet Tuesday it was a raucous start on what was quite a remarkable day's racing. Whisper only failed to reel in the meandering Might Bite by the shortest of short noses. Fox Norton was another agonising runner - with Douvan out of the picture he couldn't quite get past the ultra-game Special Tiara.

WEDNESDAY AT CHELTENHAM

2.10 - 1pt ew Whisper at 13/2: 2nd SP 9/2

No joy on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival for the Flyer. Plenty of his selections were popular in the market, Beware the Bear was 9/2 in from 10/1, but we couldn't land a blow this time.

The Flyer wasn't put off by the senior years of The Package and we were cheering him all the way to the line for his 12l success. He smashed the market all afternoon and there's plenty more to come today.
