    indeed. , i've had a look at the race , and there is a piece of form from the Irish raider Thanks for Tea last october that jumped at me , finished fifth in a listed race , three lengths behind the second , Tiger Roll ......this horse has done all its winning on good ground , admittedly at two and a half miles but been running well over three miles on heavy this winter in graded races , down in class here , and gets the ground at 14/1 a live outsider

    Cheers lads. Really looking forward to this. She owes us nothing of course and goes back to her regular owner at the end of the month. Would be amazing if she could win or go close again.

    3.15 Cheltenham - Oscar Rose- 10/1

    Fancy FOB to have a good day at HQ tomorrow this mare was a sensation over bumpers and altho hasn’t matched it over hurdles- she seems to be improving and her last run has been her best in grade 2 at Newbury where the winner ran a blinder at aintree last week behind Santini. And the run before that she was sent off odds and got beat but was extremely unlucky her saddled slipped after he first and in her other races she has been unlucky. She really hasn’t appreciated the soft ground and the return to good ground should do her the world of good!! As her best runs have come on good ground. 10/1 is a huge price and imo can’t see her out the places!

    3.00 Newmarket - Le Brivido- 3/1

    Such an exciting colt and will be even better this year. First of all when Andre Fabre brings one over toy have to take note. He was second in the French Guineas and won the group 3 Jersy stakes at royal Ascot beating Spirit of Valor . Altho this trip maybe abit on the short side he has the pace for 6f. Has been off since but goes well fresh and the fact they are running him here and not France will mean he will be fit and ready to go

    Been looking forward to seeing Sheikha Reika this year, she is one of my favourites, price might have been a bit bigger if Soliloquy hadnt been running today. Expected her to go up in trip rather than back but id make her odds on to win this, happy enough with 7/4.

    Occupy is another one I like, has to give weight to a couple of interesting newcomers but they will need to be quite good to beat him first time out.

    All the best with Jen-Jen, Stick, my old love. Any ideas what the owner will do when she returns to his domain – continue running her or retire the old girl to the breeding sheds??? If it’s the latter does that mean that today is Jen-Jen’s final race???

    Three, I say THREE geldings running in the Wood Ditton - I'll wager that doesn't happen too often.
