Before we start let's go through how we have done here in the last few days, we have gave out two selections in every race and the the odd each-way alternative - we have been backing both horses and a reverse forecast and we are quids in folks - list of winners from 13 races which has thrown up NINE winners - amazing!
GO NATIVE 12/1 WON,
FORPADDYTHEPLASTERER 8/1 WON,
WICHITA LINEMAN WON 5/1,
GARDE CHAMPETRE WON 7/2,
COOLDINE WON 9/4
MASTER MINDED WON 2/5
NINETIETH MINUTE WON 14/1
SILK AFFAIR WON 11/1
DUNGUIB WON 9/2
Big question is can the winners continue to roll - we enter the third day well in front and to be honest are now playing with the bookies money - so here we go with Thursday selections

The scene is set for a fantastic third day at Cheltenham and the performances of Kasbah Bliss and Voy Por Ustedes will almost certainly determine whether it's punters or bookmakers who come out on top.
The former is the red-hot favourite for the World Hurdle at 3.20pm while Voy Por Ustedes tops the betting for the Ryanair Chase at 2.40pm.
However the early money has come elsewhere, with Finger Onthe Pulse already cut in places for the Freddie Williams Festival Plate at 4.00pm.
Trained by Tom Taaffe who was among the winners yesterday, Finger Onthe Pulse has been tipped by our very own Simon Holt (who flagged up Tricky Trickster at 20/1 on day two) and the Racing Post's Pricewise service.
And that's all seen the early 11/1 with bet365 backed off the boards, with the firm now offering 9/1.
ItK
Next Friday!
There's mixed news on today's big two 'bankers' at the Festival - Voy Por Ustedes is proving popular in the Ryanair Chase but Kasbah Bliss is on the drift in the World Hurdle.
Nearly all the odds against about the former has disappeared, Hills now taking a lone stand with their 11/10. Ladbrokes, Paddy Power and Sportingbet are all evens from 11/10.
However it's a different stort as far as Kasbah Bliss is concerned, with no fewer than six of our featured bookies easing the price on the French raider, Ladbrokes among them at 5/4 from 6/5.
Both main market rivals Punchestowns (3/1 from 10/3) and Big Buck's (11/2 from 13/2) have been cut by bet365.
And in the same race outsider Mobaasher has also been nibbled at in the betting and trimmed into 25/1 from 33s by Blue Square

Tiger plays his first matchplay tournament in 9 months tonight,the WGC-CA Championships at Doral,10/3 he is priced.
Not a bad price

For sheer excitement the finish of Tuesday's Champion Hurdle will be hard to beat. In terms of quality, this afternoon's Ladbrokes World Hurdle already has the edge. Whereas Binocular, with a mark of 169, was officially the top-rated runner going into the Champion Hurdle, today's three-miler brings together three high-class stayers rated 170-plus.
It will be a huge shock if the winner does not come from the trio in question, Kasbah Bliss, Big Buck's and Punchestowns. Fifth in 2007 and beaten a length in second spot 12 months ago, Kasbah Bliss (3.20) can make it third time lucky.
On both occasions François Doumen's seven-year-old came up against Inglis Drever. He drew seven lengths clear of the third horse last year but, like so many, could not get past the now-retired Howard Johnson star. Some point to jockey Christophe Pieux as the weak link, but I did not see him do a lot wrong in last year's race.
Pieux cruised to an eight-length victory on Kasbah Bliss at Haydock last month, the gelding's first taste of hurdling since showing much-improved form on the Flat last autumn. Kasbah Bliss won a Group Three at Longchamp by six lengths in September, revealing the sort of ability that sets him apart today.
Punchestowns may nevertheless provide the favourite with a stern test. Trainer Nicky Henderson admitted Punchestowns was not fully wound up for the Cleeve Hurdle here last time, and in the circumstances the six-year-old ran well to be beaten four lengths by Big Buck's, who received 8lb. He should take his revenge on the winner at level weights today.
With Master Minded not exactly overwhelming his rivals in yesterday's Champion Chase, it might have been interesting if Alan King had taken on his old rival with Voy Por Ustedes (2.40). But last year's Champion Chase second looks set for Grade One success in the Ryanair Chase.
Voy Por Ustedes is already twice a winner of top-level chases at the Festival, taking the 2006 Arkle Trophy and the Champion Chase the following year. He seems more at home over distances in excess of two miles nowadays, and was hugely impressive when sprinting away to beat Gwanako by 14 lengths over two miles and five furlongs at Ascot last month.
Tidal Bay, last season's Arkle winner, tackles Voy Por Ustedes on the back of a rushed preparation, having picked up a cut to his leg on his last run here in January. He will have to be at his very best to cope with the favourite, who is officially rated 7lb his superior. Last year's winner, Our Vic, has amassed a good record round Cheltenham, but this looks tougher than last year's race.
Don't Push It (2.05), who has had the misfortune to run up against Big Buck's and Fair Along, both World Hurdle contenders, in handicaps here on his last two starts, has sound credentials for the Pertemps Final. Though yet to live up to his smart novice hurdle form over fences, Tranquil Sea (1.30) is interesting in the Jewson Handicap. He ran well for a long way in the hot race at Leopardstown where Cooldine beat Forpadydeplasterer and, rated 139, Edward O'Grady's gelding is 9lb below his hurdles mark.
Horse sense
Murphy can play his cards right with Poker de Sivola
Ferdy Murphy, narrowly foiled with Kalahari King in the Arkle Trophy on the opening day of the Festival, bids for consolation today with the horse many at the stable believe to be their best bet of the week - Poker de Sivola.
Nina Carberry, winner of the cross-country chase on Garde Champetre, has long been booked for the ride in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Chase for amateur riders. Poker de Sivola was going well when he fell two out in the Grade Two Towton Chase at Wetherby and is well handicapped in arguably one of the weakest events of the meeting.
Murphy's Three Mirrors is also expected to be in the shake-up for the Freddie Williams Plate, having undergone a wind operation since his last run. The drying ground is greatly in his favour, but the Irish have a few handy cards to play here and our best news concerns Tony Martin's Clarified.
Imperial will make sure Voy has no romp in Ryanair
Everything looks good for Voy Por Ustedes in the Ryanair Chase, but the Nigel Twiston-Davies team are very happy with Imperial Commander. Buoyed by yesterday's victory in the opener with Tricky Trickster, the local yard will be looking to Imperial Commander to leave his poor Kempton run a long way behind.
Nicky Henderson's runners in handicap hurdles at the Festival do not have a great recent record, it must be said, but the improvement in ground conditions brings Galient right into the picture for the Pertemps Final. Well handicapped - he is 20lb better off with Ballydub from their Newbury running - Galient is reported in great form.
The blinkered Au Courant is expected to go well in the Jewson Chase, which Henderson very nearly won with Barbers Shop last year. But Chapoturgeon looks rather tasty here.

Police are investigating an allegation of common assault made against Jose Mourinho after a Champions League tie.
It has been alleged the Inter Milan manager punched a supporter as he left Old Trafford stadium after his team's defeat by Manchester United.
Police have contacted United to request CCTV footage of the area and have confirmed a complaint has been made.
A spokesman for Manchester United confirmed they are aware of the allegation but made no further comment.
The fan is alleged to have chanted, "You're going home, you're going home" to the former Chelsea manager.
The man later went into Stretford police station, close to Old Trafford, to report the alleged attack.
