In the 1.30 Cheltenham i have several horses from my notes in three with Thattldoboy, River Dor and Night Alliance but Im surprised to see Bottman this high as RAG in the extremes of 130 BSP and 12.0 Place SP. Has in this field size 2-0-3 record, is course winner on Hurdles and finished 3 lenghts to useful Helpston who finished 2nd in a 22k Chase next time out with 161 rated runners behind him. His 2nd to Bold Addition 130+ rated on Hurdles over Course distance is a also not too bad and today Bottman starts out off a very low weight inclusive the claimer who takes 5lbs.
I dont think it has a huge chance, but there is some ability and these prices are just mad i think, considering that the step down will also suit Bottman. Im trying to trade this one inrunning and see what happens.
Back Bottman 160 BSP down to 25 Inrunning
Back Bottman to place 12.0 BSP for 4 places down to 2.0 Inrunning finishing head 5th
Cheltenham 15.40
I have the feeling Dynaste at 2.92 to place is a very solid bet, in this reappearance against Big Bucks, they will have learned from LTO and I still have the feeling this horse is one that can beat Big Bucks on a good day.
Edit: This are two high class hurdlers Big Bucks 1st and Dynaste 2nd 7 lengths, who looked today much more in style like in Haydock on this galloping track and went home applying quite some pressure trading down to 2.0, but Big Bucks is a horse of a lifetime and replied nicely, but would say this was the closest a horse came to put Big Bucks under pressure this time. Dynaste for sure one to follow over hurdles again on the right tracks as this is only a 6 year old.
Boooom!

first handicap makes sense it is pretty dark horse Rade seems to be too big a price but the yard could come back for a surprise and I like Byrne as a claimer here is the quote from trainer "he won a smart bumper at Chepstow and disappointed me on his hurdling debut at Wincanton but had an infection; he is a horse who doesn´t show anything at home and he is a bit of a picky eater but hopefully he will improve. AP said keep him at around two and a half miles at the moment on better ground"
Already steamed down from 130 to 65 for a nice prerace trade.
The odds discrepancy in this race between Thatlldoboy and River Dor is a joke.
