15.20 Sentry Duty 33/1
16.00 Drombeag 12/1
16.40 Gaspara 20/1

i'll be a happy man if that comes in

opinions on the mares hurdle anyone?

Has to be Quevega for me.

im stuck in two minds over caroles legacy and gaspara, slightly leaning towards gaspara however at the mo! Pipe seems to have his horses going well at the right time. Has form at cheltenham havin won the fred winter a couple of years ago..although must admit hasn't impressed since! ran a nice race on its comeback at doncaster however and i tink i might have a few quid each way at 20/1..

opinions on the mares hurdle anyone?

Lads what do ya reckon L'ami's chances are tomorrow...?

indeed...L'ami will take all the beating tomorrow...i will be going on him big for sure! also think that Drombeag has a smashing each way chance at 12/1

TUESDAY

1.30   Supreme Novices' Hurdle Michael Flips
2.05   Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy Steeple Chase   I'msingingtheblues - banker
3.20   Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy   Whiteoak

a few of my ante-post bets for the festival;

Triumph; Tharaawat 33/1 (NAP)
Arkle; I'msingingtheblues 16/1
Cross country; L'ami 5/1
RSA; The Market Man 20/1

still puzzled regarding the gold cup tho!!

forker got man of the match in the ulster u21 final last year in which he scored 5 or 6 points i tink. i also remember watching him in a MacRory cup game for St.Pats academy,Dungannon a while back where he scored 7points from midfield..he was the only academy scorer that day. one of the best individual performances i ever witnessed.

i simply cannot understand zulu how u dont rate this UUJ team? they probably have the most inter-county players than any of the other teams in this years competition! here is just a few..Darren Hughes(Monaghan), Tomas McCann Niall McKeever Conor Murray(Antrim), James Colgan Packy Downey(Down), Stefan Forker Paul Kernan(Armagh) Colm Cavanagh Raymond Mulgrew(Tyrone). They are a very talented team in my eyes!!

In fairness most of those lads don't regularly line out with their counties. The two Armagh boys would have maybe 1 Championship appearance between them.

well sigerson cup football is generally percieved as the stepping stone to inter-county, so im sure we will see them in future years! and remember young forker is still a teenager, the fact that big Joe Kernan called him up to the Armagh senior panel while he was still at school underlines his huge potential.

king ar aghaidh each way in the next at huntingdon 14/1. not really a tip but it seems to be an improving sort and i tink it mite run into a place!
