Cheltenham-Early thoughts

Normans ride was pefect on the 2nd even had his nose in front on the straight. I wonder if Flagship hadn’t made the mistake would he have got there. Have a feeling nothing was going to beat them that day

That’s magic. All the spiel I said before about Cheltenham being too crowded nowadays and that I prefer watching it at home, well I’d jump on a plane right now again after listening to Hector there if I could savour that debauchery once more.

Looks like French Aseel has had a setback

He heard Zanahiyr can still run :laughing:

Magic tricks is meant to have worked very well for Gordon in the past few days which could be a pain for me.

I’m delighted for nick if this is true.

An awful pity we never saw the best of her. I nearly went hoarse roaring Jamie home. Some ride and some mare.

The shunter looks big enough at 16s for the coral cup if he wins today. 5 pound penalty on top of a 7 pound rise for his greatwood win but be far from harsh imo. He’d almost certainly improve for a trip too.

No guarantee that’s where he goes though. I think a strongly run 2 miles is more up his street

I’d have a feeling it’ll be the coral and it’s nrnb as well.

I could just as easily see him in the County or the Grand Annual. Nrnb is definitely needed. And I’d say they won’t even make a decision till the weekend before based on how today goes.

Today’s jockey booking would worry me too. He was a great price earlier in the week at 6/1 but I couldn’t touch him at 9/4 now.

Fancy Skeltons in this

I wouldn’t back him today.

He doesn’t jump fences great imo and he’s already 142 in England.

I’d be almost certain he’ll run in the coral.

You have your opinion, and I have mine :grinning:

Any love for Grand Sancy today? Off a decent break again

Ive backed him. A bit concerning that he has not had wind op since last run. Killer Clown would worry me most.

Senior Citizen was the other one I was looking at, sneaky trappy race if a few were to run near their best
