My Cheltenham Selections.

Searching 'Cheltenham 2020' for your post, Togo, and keep being taken to my last Either half post. So, a separate thread is called for;

Never thought i'd say this bit i'm a tad disappointed with today's fayre. Just 2 large field handicaps for me to get my number crunching teeth into:-(.

2.50; Kkildisart @ 9/1
3.30; Epatante @ 11/4
4.50; Hold The Note @ 8/1
5.30; Ravenhill @ 7/1

Win singles, 20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £30, 4 winners = £3,070

Placepot; Asterion Forlonge, Notebook, Kildisart, Eapatante, Bene Des, Hold The Note.

Silly Bill paying on 7 places in ther first so I've gone e.w. on Heaven Help Us @ 92.5/1, also 2 more e.w. bets; Silver Streak @ 25/1 and Roksana @ 14/1.

Will no doubt do a few more later on.

For the first time in a few years, I leave Nicky Henderson alone in the first race and he goes and wins it. However, trailing in some 31 lengths behind the winner, and in 7th place, was Heaven Help Us @ 100/1. £52.50 returned. Not a bad start to the Festival:-)

Seen that Bet365 are paying on 5 places in the 2.50 at Cheltenham so I've had another e.w. punt on Cogry @ 25/1.
And a SF/c in the next; Notebook to beat Brewinupastorm

Epatante - never in doubt. Another £32.75 to stick back in my 'winnings' pocket:-)).

Ravenhill drifts like a barge in the betting - 7s out to 12s - but does the business in style = £65 return.
Lucky 15 bet produces 2 winners, a 2nd and a 3rd to return a further £85.25.
On what has been a very decent first day's trading, I staked a total of £44 and received £227.91 in return. A profit of £183.91. Which, given my statement of bein a 'tad disappointed' by today's fayre, is quite something. And long may it continue :-) :-) :-)
