I've got a horrid cold so not saying much today.
A quick note about the card:
1:30 Cheltenham -
Either the favourite here or an each-way poke at fair odds. I'll side with Willie Mullins' Sir Gerhard at odds-on.
1st Sir Gerhard 8/11 +0.72pts
2:10 Cheltenham -
Will go with Paul Nicholls' Bravemansgame who is unbeaten this year.
NR
2:50 Cheltenham -
An open-looking race. A small each-way bet on Indigo Breeze for Gordon Elliotte.
8th 20/1 -1pt
3:30 Cheltenham -
A calls race: The Queen Mother's Chase with just 8 runners. Shishkin has been in excellent form and with will primed for the day. No price but lovely to Nicky Henderson's eight-year-old run well today.
PU 5/6 -1pt
4:10 Cheltenham -
Tiger Roll favourite to go well here. This stamina test over 3m 6f. Be lovely to see Gordon Elliott's charge get back to winning ways. Will have a win bet on Prengarde and hope for the best.
PU 9/2 -1pt
4:50 Cheltenham -
A 20-strong field over this 2m. Will have a bet on Amarillo Sky for Colin Tizzard ridden by Brenden Powell.
5th 5/1 -1pt
5:30 Cheltenham -
Another giant field for this Champion Bumper. Quite a few lightly raced horses here. Willie Mullins has plenty of horses racing here and I'll go with Facile Vega who looks impressive.
1st 15/8 1.875pts
Total on the day -1.4pts
Good luck to all.
