Lessons learned from Cheltenham 2023
+
Johnny Dineen was footing 'Questions from the Crowd' for the final time in his first season on Upping The Ante and, not remarkably, among those centred on lessons discovered from [Cheltenham](http://143.110.240.250/samiratruman4/the-bet-9ja-promo-code-this-2026-is-yohaig/-/issues/1) 2023.
+
[DJ yielded](https://proconcursado.com.br/2024/10/09/ola-mundo/) he's going to be more open minded in the future.
+
"You form an opinion on horses and, since of this program, you have a viewpoint months ahead of time" said the Racing Post Ireland's deputy editor.
+
"Just say, Ashdale Bob in the Stayers' Hurdle. I 'd put him up at a huge price, thinking at Christmas he was 2nd behind Home By The Lee and it could be a weak Stayers' Hurdle.
+
"Come the day, the horse had no possibility. It was an actually [strong Stayers'](http://bdbblinds.co.za/products/roller-blinds/scalloped-edge-blind-cream_4/) in the end, even though Sire Du Berlais won it.
+
"If you form an opinion [early in the season], its ok to alter your mind on the day. You almost feel guilty if you've tipped a horse on a sneak peek night or on Upping The Ante. I 'd say that to viewers, don't be afraid to alter your mind if the complexion of the race modifications - do not be so devoted!"
+
After confessing to [remorses](https://vcgsuites.com/author/hanscarper6004/) over siding with [Blood Destiny](https://www.lifnest.com/author/christalsunser/) in the Triumph Hurdle, Johnny outlined what he would be removing from the meeting this year, as a punter.
+
"The trainers that have shown they can do business are the one not to be writing off," he began.
+
"The similarity Paul Nicholls returning with two winners. That was a big achievement in my eyes with [the group] he had going there. His horses were knocking on the door all week.
+
"He didn't have a huge team and he didn't have a strong team, but he managed to pull two winners."
+
With Blood Destiny still really much on his mind, Johnny's 2nd Festival takeaway is one lots of punters might be adhering to in the future.
+
"If you have a horse concerning this meeting that has got soft leads, and they are not guaranteed to get them here - and you're practically ensured not to get a soft lead in any race here - they have actually no possibility.
+
"The similarity Hermes Allen, Editeur Du Gite was another one that got pestered this time, and Blood Destiny was a traditional example of it. If horses have type with soft leads, they are not going to carry out [here]"

Star efficiency divides the team

Johnny's Performance of the Week was obviously centred on what [unfolded](https://gitlab.dangwan.com/portersankt339/the-bet-9ja-promotion-code-this-2026-is-yohaig/-/issues/1) in the Cotswolds.
+
He had Gold Cup hero Galopin Des Champs, now 6/4 to keep that crown in 2024, at number 3.
+
"He didn't leap in addition to he did in other races. Even getting into the race [late on] he was banging fences. The very first time I believed he 'd win was kipping down - it was all over when he came back on bridle.
+
"Bravemansgame was clearly the second-best horse in it however I 'd state it's doubtful he'll ever win a [Gold Cup](http://218.245.96.10/paulinan18496) - even if [Galopin](https://125.131.112.45/berrybedford53) Des Champs wasn't in it."
+
Though he wanted to take on the terrific mare before her farewell win, Johnny bowed to Honeysuckle in second spot, crediting her with a 'strong effort' in signing off her profession with a satisfying win.
+
Top area across the four days went to Impaire Et Passe in the Ballymore, with Johnny remonstrating that everyone was 'anticipating' what Constitution Hill provided in the Champion Hurdle: "It was absolutely nothing unusual for Constitution Hill, that's all I'm saying. He's a dazzling horse, the best to run at the conference I 'd state."
+
DJ countered that he had actually 'never ever seen anything turn up the hill rather like Constitution Hill'.
+
"He was still quickening, even when [Nico de Boinville] wasn't even asking him to speed up. I believed it was remarkable."
+
Johnny, nevertheless, made the case for the Ballymore winner as one for the future with the Willie Mullins prisoner now 6/1 to win the Champion Hurdle in 2024.
+
" Et Passe is showing up as a top, leading horse," he stated. "I think it was a fantastic effort and you could see him returning for a Champion Hurdle if Constitution Hill wasn't there.
+
"I do not believe any horse next year can beat Constitution Hill. Every horse next season will be deciding their targets based on whether he goes chasing after or remains over obstacles."

Festival hopefuls for 2024
+
Their portfolios for 2023 might not have measured up to expectations but, as has actually become [tradition](http://121.41.2.713000/yettajenkinson) on Upping The Ante, the two [pundits completed](http://218.245.96.10/paulinan18496) the series by putting forward an early selection for next March.

Johnny Dineen provided some worth in his 'two-for-one' offering.
+
"I'll offer you 2 fast ones. I'm going to go Jonbon for the Ryanair. He stayed well [in the Arkle] and he aims to me as though two-miles is too short for him now. The Ryanair is large open for a new kid on the block.
+
"I believe he needs to have won this race this year and I think it's a department that there's not a lot in it. He's just 7 next season and I think he's a little worth therein."
+
Jonbon is 8/1 for the Ryanair in 2024 and Johnny's second choice was 12/1 Teahupoo in the 2024 Stayers' Hurdle.
+
DJ meanwhile puts forward 16/1 Ballyburn for next year's Ballymore Novices' Hurdle.
+
He stated: "I think he's Willie Mullins' best bumper horse and I love the [reality](https://www.techfus.com/index.php?route=journal3/blog/post&journal_blog_post_id=4) they've minded him [with an eye] on next season. We'll probably see him at Punchestown.
