Few long shots for first day, sticking with horses that I've bet during the season.

Tell us more 130 14/1
Vibrato Valtat 205 11/2
Bitofapuzzle 400 22/1
Vivaldi Collonges 440 14/1
Stellar Notion 515 14/1

Each way lucky 31.

Mullins 4 fold is 19/1 stuck a fiver on that. Might be an Irish blitz.

Also un de sceaux / Annie power in a 2/1 double and backed former as a single as well.

Went big with sprinter sacre on Wednesday. Think (hope) they were holding him back last race he finished second to dodging bullets

should be 10/1 the field, all 20 runners separated by 6 lbs in the handicap, likely to prove one of the hardest races, but i do still like Stellar Notion, your right i'll have a flutter e/w

Opening a few new accounts just to take advantage of some very good new customer promotions, targetting the Champion Hurdle, already got a tenner free bet on The New One, tenner on Willie Mullins to have a winner in any race today at 3/1, £20 on Jezki with stake returned as cash if it loses, £10 free bet on Hurricane Fly and a tenner on Faugheen at 4/1 with the normal odds part (evens) settled in cash and the rest as free bets. Also got a free 50p each way round robin on Shaneshill at 12/1, Three Kingdoms at 20/1 and Arctic Fire at 20/1. Worth a few minutes work opening three new accounts and might well not use them again after the festival but got the first four in the Champion Hurdle betting covered including the favourite at massively increased odds, even the losers trigger free bets or cash back.

Am in quite deep today. Faugheen and douvan pretty much free rolls the day for me. Barrakilla and stellar notion also good for me as are a fair few to be honest.

Love this week, my favourite of every year. Always bang a weeks holiday in.


5 hours to go, can't wait

Just checked, the 4/1 Faugheen is paid in cash, not free bets, even better.

Lumped on Faugheen, if that comes in it should pay for the rest of my week.

Bookies will be loving that race. I had Glens Melody E/W. Used £12.50 worth of free bets on Annie Power so thankfully didn't cost me anything.

Aye, every race from start to finish I either had a winner or placed. £120 profit which isn't life changing but will do me for day 1.

Had a win on the first race, last minute decision to take Windsor Park. I've went for Kings Palace E/W and Young Master E/W on this. Also taken Ruby Walsh to win any race today at 2/1.
