We’ve had four winners already this week and I’m expecting a big run from one horse in particular at Cheltenham

I STILL get a due buzz jumping successful the car and heading to Cheltenham.

Don’t get maine wrong, weekends similar this are afloat connected from the connection go.
We person owners successful from archetypal batch to mid-morning, past I person to look astatine the horses earlier the income and then, of course, the racing itself earlier I’m definite determination volition beryllium immoderate benignant of socialising tonight!

Hopefully aft a mates of winners. But I’m not complaining — I emotion it. It’s what we bash the occupation for. And it’s decidedly amended to beryllium engaged than not!

I retrieve going to this gathering with my mates increasing up. We had the 16-24 rank and would crook up twelvemonth aft year, drinking plentifulness but enjoying the racing too.

I retrieve horses similar Senor El Bruttiti winning the Mackeson — arsenic it was known for 35 years earlier yet morphing into the Paddy Power Gold Cup —  and getting roared backmost successful arsenic a section winner.
I had a brushed spot for aged favourite Fondmort (below), too, who won it backmost successful 2003.

We’re a fewer shorter astatine this gathering than I would person liked but everyone volition accidental the aforesaid thing, it’s conscionable due to the fact that of the ground.

I don’t deliberation immoderate of them are certainties but I genuinely deliberation they should each tally large races and get amongst it. The squad are successful large nick, we’ve had 4 winners this week already.

The horses moving present with an outing nether their loop volition beryllium acceptable to stone and rotation — and adjacent those making their archetypal starts person present done plentifulness of work.

I’m expecting a large tally from CHAMPAGNE TWIST (3.30). I’d beryllium disappointed if helium doesn’t spell precise close. We’ve done plentifulness of enactment with him and I would anticipation there’s much to travel from him this play implicit hurdles.

After helium won the EBF Final astatine Sandown helium didn’t tally his contention erstwhile we fancied him again astatine Aintree but I deliberation the interruption has done him the satellite of good. He’s 1 of our starring lights this weekend.

HARDY BOY (2.55) has been engaged but we mightiness arsenic good support going with him with the ground. He has the fittingness borderline connected a fewer and volition similar the crushed much than a few, too. It’s a pugnacious inquire to triumph but if helium runs similar helium did astatine the October fixture there’s nary crushed helium couldn’t nick immoderate prize money.

I’m hopeless to tally LEADER IN THE PARK (1.45, Sunday). He’s been connected the boil a portion but we haven’t been capable to tally him due to the fact that of the ground. I’m definite helium volition marque up into a beauteous chaser.

Lucinda likes Primoz and I cognize Nicky fancies Peaky Boy but we don’t tally distant and spot our horses wherever we deliberation is best. If it rains helium has a close chance.

FIERCELY PROUD (3.30, Sunday) goes for the Greatwood. I won’t prevarication helium has had astir arsenic mediocre a mentation for this arsenic you could imagination of fixed helium got escaped successful October and past fell erstwhile excessively keen astatine Ascot.

But we deliberation a batch of him and this has been the program a mode out.
I’ll archer Ben Jones to driblet him retired and if helium settles I deliberation helium volition tally a mighty race. He mightiness beryllium going nether the radar.
