    Off to Kempton for obvious reasons tomorrow evening and there is one I am having a dabble on in the last.
    HEADING TO FIRST 16-1 Kempton 8:10 is having its first run for the Best yard and looks very interesting. Its off a very low mark and if the boys have worked their magic on this one then surely first time out will be the time to catch it. I know nothing about the lad in the saddle except that he takes off what they are out of the handicap. I could be completely on the wrong tack with this but if you sit and wait the market will surely tell you all you need to know! I am getting in early!

    Good luck with Squire tomorrow Stick. Paddy Butler one of the worst trainers around so if that yoke has any ability at all Best should find it!

    The horse who will be my NAP of the Cheltenham Festival Paint The Clouds runs tomorrow in the Hunter Chase at Doncaster. Will be very disappointed if he doesn't win very easily and he'll surely be favourite for the Foxhunters after winning tomorrow. I'd highly, highly recommend taking the 8/1 on offer as he's not going to be that price after tomorrow.

    Already heavily involved with Paint the Clouds. Considerably my largest ante post bet this season.

    Stick are you worried about the draw tomorrow, regardless of the gamble going on?

    Just found out Betfair Sportsbook allow you to back the same horse for 2 different races in the double so you can get 14/1 for Paint The Clouds to win tomorrow and at Cheltenham. Fantastic stuff.

    Very concerned wardy, we will try to pop him out and hopefully get a nice sit just off the pace. The problem then is that he wants to go and just like Lingfield he could tug the jocks arms out for the first quarter! Should go a good clip tomorrow but we will still need luck from that draw. He hasn't had luck in any of his races so far but maybe tomorrow huh. The gamble is on the one I feared four days ago...Don will back that up, but all its doing at the moment is giving us a price!

    Roto do u mind me asking why you are so confident about paint the clouds.on the fridge and salsify are decent sorts and have course form.id also be wary about backing one before nrnb, got burnt by old mossey joe last year so swore to wait for nrnb in the future!

    5 for 5 over fences and never been troubled once and I just think he's better than a Hunter Chaser. Had won 5 on the bounce including a Pertemps qualifier off a mark of 130 over hurdles before he got injured and Greatrex revealed McCoy got off him and said he'd win the Pertemps Final. That didn't transpire as he didn't stay fit but it's a mark of the sort of animal he is.

    Greatrex has had this planned since last year and, for all I rate Salsify as decent opposition (OTF hasn't stayed up the hill twice), I just think PTC is a way better horse.

    If he was running in a handicap instead at the Festival off a mark of 137 he'd still be my NAP of the festival.

    I got stung by Mossey last year as well antepost but he was always a rush job to get fit. Greatrex confirmed again on his site that Foxhunters is the aim so unless he's injured between now and then he'll be turning up.

    Good luck with Squire Stick. Should win as I've not burdened it with any of my dough. Hope he runs well for you.
    Mighty Missile in the lucky last at Ludlow is my selection for today @ 7/2. Is up against 2 very decent flat performers neither of whom have sent the world alight over hurdles yet. MM ran a nice race from the front at this track lto. He gets weight off his rivals today and Costello goes to Ludlow for this one ride. Also interested in that hunter chase at Donny. Henrietta Knight has Calgary Bay 11/2 in there getting 8lb off Paint the Clouds. Entitled to improve on his last effort following a near 2 year absence from the track. Has a good record at Donny so should give the favourite plenty to think about. Good luck all.

    Good Luck with Squire tonight, may have a little dabble later but not nearly as much as last time. Think the draw may be too much to overcome tonight

    3.10 little king robin should take all the beating here.6/4 isnt actually a bad price
    3.40-Realdealholyfield.been told this one has a good chance of placing (16s)
    4.40-Samanntom-won at thurles last week and should hopefully oblige again(7/2)
