Patsy, i spend literally hours studying stats and form figures but the best ever return i got from Cheltenham was a few years back on a 'coincidence' bet. My eyes had just lit upon a racehorse's name (think it was Bishop something or vice versa)when whoever was on the radio at that name actually said the word 'Bishop'. So, i looked through the ABC guide and found 3 others (all with holy connections) and put them in a 50p Lucky 15. Two of them won at fantastic prices (think my other winner was something Cross or vice versa - other 2 are still running, i think) and i collected almost £600. Never won that much by studying :-) :-/
