Cheltenham Festival Day 2

On day 1 we hit the post a couple of times with a few placings. Hope to be in the winners enclosure on Wednesday !!!!!

2.00 Ballymore Nov Hurdle
A cracking race in prospect with Forpadydeplasterer (lol at name), Aigle D'or, Group Captain, Fiveforthree, Trafford Lad and Breedsbreeze all with major chances. I go for the latter in Breedsbreeze to kickstart Paul Nicholls' Festival but it wouldn't surprise me to see any of these winning ;)

2.35 Sun Alliance Chase
Well here goes my NAP of the meeting runs in this !!!!!!
Air Force One is the horse i am siding with. The track should suit better than it did at Ascot last time where Albertas Run beat the selection, i am convinced he will not beat him today.
Tidal Bay would be interesting if he turns out again though.

3.15 Champion Chase
The betting has got really close in the run up to todays event.
Master Minded, Voy Por Ustedes, Twist Magic and Tamarinbleu head the market.
I feel Master Minded's inexperience will find him out, Tamarinbleu will not be quite good enough and with Twist Magic the ground has gone against him.
That leaves Voy Por Ustedes (who has an outstanding Festival record) to take my confident vote.
A few say Fair Along will run a decent race but with Tamarinbleu in the race he will not be able to dominate at the head of affairs.

4.00 Coral Cup
No real view in 'My' race, just a small interest in Junior.

4.40 NH Chase
I very much like the look of Over The Creek. He will relish this longer trip and he has good form behind top novices last time out. Old Benny and Oulart are others that make some appeal.

5.20 Bumper
22 out of the 24 strong field won on their latest start. In an open race i will take small chances on Lilywhitedancer and Gold Award.

Good Luck on your picks ;)

Tuesday we had 2 runners at Hall Green
Lulu (1/8) Found trouble in her 5th place effort.
Janey (2/7) Finished a tired 4th, will come on for the run.

March 1/16
Year 13/86

Thx and GL
Neil
