Cheltenham Festival 10 Race Bonanza

After the postponement of Day 2 due to the high winds we have a Bumper 10 race card on Thursday.
Have given a few tips already but will keep them in time order.

12.30 NH Chase
Over The Creek , see Day 2

1.15 Sun Alliance Chase
Air Force One , see Day 2

1.40 Jewson Nov Chase
A typical wide open Festival Handicap, small interest in Paul Nicholls' pair Dear Villez and Arturio

2.20 Champion Chase
Vor Por Ustedes , see Day 2 (wouldn't rule out Twist Magic if ground has dried out)

2.55 Ryanair Chase
A guaranteed fast pace with The Listener in the field, i give Our Vic one last chance to shine.
He patently didn't stay the extended 3 mile last time but this should be right up his street.

3.30 World Hurdle
I can't have defeat for Inglis Drever, he has beaten most of these before easily and i am sure they won't turn the tables.

4.05 RP Plate
JP's Don't Push It goes in this Handicap and many feel he is very nicely handicapped but at the prices i can't have him on my mind. I go for a speculative punt on Borora who has run well in the past at the Festival.

4.40 Pertemps Final
Have absolutely no idea but if i had to choose one i would go with Nicky Richards Gunner Jack.

5.15 Kim Muir
At 7/1 or 8/1 the field it shows what an open race this is. My two against the field will be Bob Bob Bobbin and Newbay Prop.

5.50 Bumper
See Day 2 also beginning to fancy Zaarito now.

Plenty of stamina needed for this day and who used to say the Thursday of the Festival was rubbish ;)

With Cheltenham being off i turned up at Hall Green this morning to find that around half a dozen of coaches had been diverted to there. With the money burning holes in their pockets they soon got stuck into the action. Hope they didn't back any of ours cos they would have done there dough (results posted later)

Thx and GL
Neil
