afternoon,all! cheltenham,3 05: a real headscratcher for me,and ive been thinking long and hard,who to back,but,in the end,i came to the conclusion,that old JOSIES ORDERS ticks most of the boxes here.we know,he stays the trip,he knows this track inside out,and isnt badly treated,so if fully wound up today,is a definite e w contender for me.
Good afternoon JF .... unbelievable price on Josie's today, but I'm going with Jess Harrington's Neverushacon. Whatever that means!
good afternoon to you too.well,what can you say..very disappointing from him.maybe,he needed the race more than expected.but still a shocking run. cheltenham,3 40: ASK BEN ran as well as could be expected in a valuable handicap last time out,and probably his biggest asset today is his ability to go very well on soft/heavy ground.i think,that counts more than anything else today,given how they finished their races so far.but he also was quite a useful novice hurdler,and still lightly-raced,so enough reasons to support him here.
Another race where the money talked. The disadvantage of backing your nag the previous evening! Pleased with Champer's run, giving lumps of weight to the winner.
