@Kirkycfc @RoadCheltenham @irishracing He’s still up 8 pounds , he’s carrying 8 more than he would have before that run. So instead of carrying 13 pounds less then stumptown he only gets 5 less.

@RoadCheltenham @irishracing Won off 12 stone that day whats the issue? 11.5 this time

🙄 Eddie O'Leary on FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU, per @irishracing:
"He was great on Trials day, but you just hope that hasn’t cost him his chance as he got 8lbs for it.
"It’s a massive hit for a horse who has always worn his heart on his sleeve."

Paul Kealy tells us his strongest fancy at the Cheltenham Festival
🗣️ "Koktail Divin in whatever race he goes for. I thought the Irish handicapper would give him a mark in the mid-150s at least for his latest success, but he plumped for just 149 and the BHA assessor, as usual with horses already rated quite highly, didn't go overboard, adding only 1lb to that.
"That's got to be a mighty tempting handicap mark, but he's in the Brown Advisory and that's the race Henry de Bromhead said he preferred. If that's still the case now De Bromhead knows what a nice rating he has for a handicap, I'm going to take that as a big vote of confidence and follow him in"

⭕️ ULTIMATE CHELTENHAM PREVIEW NIGHT - PAUL KEALY ⭕️ 🗣 "I can't see what can beat him - he was foot-perfect last time and none of the others can match that performance" The top tipster is next up in our essential pre-festival series Read with Racing Post+ 👇

@RacingPost Koktail divin only getting 1 pound after winning by the straight seems so light.
English

@RichyShea I talked to him as part of press evening a few nights ago.
Both of them unlikely runners - Downmexicoway / Slade Steel / The Short Go & possibly Koktail Divin his likely handicap chasers for Festival.
Gorgeous Tom straight to National.

@jacobt19066 @mccueryan12 Would not of got anywhere near that close if they didn’t want to win, that will do no good for saratogas mark

Barry Connell the balloon man!! First it was Marine Nationale just had to jump around to win at the DRF, then it was the grounds a worry, then it was he runs no matter what, then he was “supporting” the race by running but it wasn’t ideal? now chalk and cheese to reverse form😂

🗣️ "Of course we can reverse the form with Majborough, absolutely. You're talking about chalk and cheese" Barry Connell is convinced Marine Nationale can dish out revenge to Majborough in the Queen Mother Champion Chase Read with Racing Post+ 👇

@paulfergusonJTF Thanks Paul does that give JPR some festival options now?

@scottda66354585 @RacingTV @kemptonparkrace Looked awful that, I don’t think anyone has picked up on it

@Goonyella_ Exactly how I’ve read it, it’s almost accepted. We will be sat waiting for hotel / flight prices tomorrow morning to stay the extra day - inconvenient but at least there’s a plan …
English

Would be a shame if they did have to move to the Monday but it's definitely the best move.
Fingers crossed tomorrow gets the go ahead but I think they've pretty much accepted it'll move? How I read it
