Morning all, an absolute disaster for the blog yesterday. A few places at decent prices for you each way players out there but not a single winner. A bit of a shit really. I'll try a bit harder today!
CHELTENHAM
250 THE RACING POST HURDLE
A pretty competitve renewal, it doesn't look as though the AP favourite Darlan will run, some sites still have as a runner, some say not, it's Sunday am I'll let them off. I'm taking 3 against the field, hopefully one of them can land, and with 22 in the field at present we should comfortably get a 4 place payout if playing each way. Firstly Paul Nicholls PROSPECT WELLS, he pushed the very classy Zarkandar all the way to the line last week, this may come too soon but i think that run merits more than the 146 he still shoulders and with the very useful Harry Derham taking off 7lb,. (how does he still claim 7?) he looks very well in in 100%. The Nicholls/Derham partnership won this race with a prospect last year so know what it takes. Next I've gone with TED SPREAD, again from the Nicholls yard and arguably 1st string in some minds regards jockey bookings. Found out a little at this level back end of last season, was poor first outing this but perhaps needed the run. The handicapper appears to be relenting and he could be a big player today. Thirdly I'm putting up OLOFI. 2nd in this race on seasonal reappearance last year. That was his best run all season, but arguably going well when fell next time out, he also got within 5 lengths of Zarkandar, which could leave him a little short here but I'm taking a chance that he may have come on. One I did also like was Gordon Elliot's Cause of Causes, but I think he'll have a lot to do with a penalty in this classy field.
The rest of my bets today.
