well,from me too!! cheltenham,1 20: CROCO BAY is,to some extent,the oldest horse here,but he proved his grand annual shock win here in march no fluke,with a very good run in punchestown on his last start last season.,and is still not badly treated for that,so,in an open race,he can go well here,at least e w..
Every time I watch a chase at Cheltenham I can't help thinking that powering down the hill towards the 3rd last fence must be one of the most frightening, but at the same time most exhilarating, aspects of being a jump jockey. I'm sure I would **** myself.
achso,ok,lol!alles gute,oddy! donny,1 35: this is a far tougher assignment for CURRAMORE,but i liked the way he went about his business at carlisle,so there might be more to come from this unexposed horse.not underestimated..
cheltenham,1 55: a slightly decimated field,but still a competitive race,and i believe,GOOD MAN PAT can run a really big race.he was going ominously well in the straight last time out,before getting tired.should be all the better for that run,and big shout today.
donny,2 10: hard to desert my old foe sam spinner here,but i do like WINDSOR AVENUE as well,and he might have a tad more scope for progress than his rival.may even get better still,for that step up in trip..
very much a wash-out day for me so far..but i hope,that will change in around half an hour,as then,its the international hurdle,and CH TI BELLO for me.with prominent racer gumball in it,a good pace seems nearly assured,and that will suit my choice down to the ground.he has enough high-profile efforts in his CV to be very competitive here..
Very much looking forward to Pentland Hills here - I think last season's juveniles are a decent bunch and hopefully Pentland Hills can take this today.
Champion Hurdle could do with an impressive winner here but Pentland Hills seems weak in the betting and needs to improve a bit in open company, same stables Call Me Lord has overtaken him in the betting. Elixir Du Nutz is stinking but the same owners Gumball looks interesting at a price after decent run in the Greatwood.
Ballyandy up there no Champion Hurdle contenders there, can see Mullins runner shortening a bit after that
