Well i'm back after moving house and just in time for the opening Cheltenham meeting. There's plenty of potential on show today and I'm really looking forward to the racing.
Starting things off is the 2m5f novice hurdle and The New One looks a solid favourite here, very well regarded by Nigel Twiston-Davies he won as he liked at Newton Abbot on his hurdling debut 18 days ago but didn't convince me with his jumping, there's no doubt he's got a engine but until I see him jump a bit better I'll let him run. Village Vic has been backed this morning, goes well fresh and I can see him being involved in the finish along with Special Account who has looked a natural over hurdles rattling off a hat-trick over the summer in lower class races, but the way he has gone about his business suggests there is plenty more to come.
Next up is the 2m4f novice chase and Go All The Way rates a strong fancy for this Jim Dreaper's gelding finished 4th in the Champion Bumper here in March 2011, he has really impressed with his jumping and has improved tremendously in his two unbeaten starts over fences, there is plenty more to come. Domtaline is a danger as he goes well fresh, he's unbeaten over fences all be it at a lower level but this is a big step up in class. What A Warrior and King Of The Night are others to take a close look at.
Over to the 3m1/2f novice chase on the card and I really like the look of Sire Collonges who is built to be a chaser and I expect enormous improvement over fences this term from this through stayer who was an impressive winner on his chase debut at Fontwell in May.
Bets
1445 - Go All The Way - win single @ 2/1
1555 - Sire Collonges - win single @ 4/1
