    Delighted to see Cheltenham back today, some nice races there to look forward to and I really like Panxtoa's chances in the 3:50as Oddy has already alluded too.

    Elsewhere I like two at Dundalk tonight in the shape of Under Review 7/2 5:40 who races off his AW mark of 57 and may be able to turn the tables on both Almadaa and Summer Isles and also Wagadoogoochoochoo 11/4 8:15 (what a name for a horse btw) who had an emphatic LTO victory at Gowran and an 8lb rise may not be enough to halt him getting the double.

    I dont think were gonna get a roar at Cheltenham as the first race gets under way, but its good to see all the same...

    Just fancy this could be a tricky one to call, but i would go with The Saint...<ok>

    NTD "sweated" at the start! Does this indicate over excitement? Novicey at jumps when the pace increased but finished credible 4th!

    Cheers Oddy <cheers>

    Both looked very impressive, shame about the NR in the 2nd I thought mine would have been infront of that one. Lets see what the rule 4 is...

    Viking Blond in the next at Chelts, 2nd last year off a 2lb higher mark. 1st time Visor today might just bring about a little bit of improvement and has some good form from the back end of last year including a couple of lengths defeat by Monbeg Dude over larger obstables. Could be relatively well handicapped on old form over hurdles here.
