Un De Sceaux unopposable tomorrow for me. I think he beats Sire De Grugy comfortably tomorrow- possible 10L+ demoliton. Tempted to have a Cheltenham multiple with him in before he goes odds on tomorrow. Any word on where the likeable Vroum Vroum Mag is being tilted at in March? World, or Mares? or a chase??!
I read they were sending her to Ascot today to see whether she gets the World Hurdle trip. If she hoses up today I'd expect her to be World Hurdle bound, with Annie looking to make amends in the Mares Hurdle. The left-field option mooted by Beefy is the 3m1f chase on the Tuesday.
Can't be having Reve De Sivola at all - he may have a much lower chase mark than hurdle, but that is for a reason. Has looked about as comfortable over fences as my neighbour's Trabant and, only 4lbs higher, Fingal Bay looks much more likely.
The Govaness is a fair each way shout against Vroom Vroom Mag at 8/1. Un De Sceaux is a very fair price on this ground. When he wins today he'll be the same price to win the QMCC.
3 bets for me today. All win only. 1.00 Haydock. SHADES OF MIDNIGHT 11-2 3.40 Navan. OSCARS KNIGHT 6-1 3.55 Taunton. SPICE FAIR 7-1
14:45 Taunton - Tikkapick e/w. (Pretty grim event this and a very speculative Saturday bet for me. Showed a bit of promise over fences LTO before falling, Today's race will be second time only with a professional jockey. On breeding, should handle ground and get the distance. 16/1 e/w with Corals).
Done a treble at around 7/2 on Un De Sceaux, The New One, Vroum Vroum Mag. Racing Post intriguingly tips against all three, listing SIRE DE GRUGY, CAPTAIN CONAN, and DESERT QUEEN as the 3 to spoil the party.
Iv gone for the Nicholls horse in the first at Ascot. Form looks solid on his last run 2/1 currently.

That is 2 out of 2 for me today so far following the guys again here on the Saturday. Gibralfaro and Baywing....now looking to Otago in the 1.30 at Hay next.
