    Blimey. The 2.45 at Leopardstown looks all at once impossible and enticing. My ew two for this are Waterford Whispers 8/1 and Blizzard Of Oz 33/1. 365 go 6 places.

    You know, I've had a little look and I think a very suitable race for Goraibhmaithagat would be the National Hunt Novice Handicap Chase over 3m 6f at the festival. In last year's race, his current rating (125) would've put him in with 10-8. If he gets an extra, say, 3Lbs for today, that might...

    So he's now qualified. Ok. It's one to keep an eye on, eh?

    Cheltenham Trials Day- Saturday

    Off his current rating he would've got in last year on 11-5, which wouldn't be bad and he might just go down a couple of Lbs after today. I've a suspicion that he'd handle better ground should it turn up at Aintree.

    Cheltenham Trials Day- Saturday

    Yes. I did see how well this travelled for so much of the race with the jockey sitting motionless out the back. Then, at some point I thought "Come on, close up on them now; you've got the horse under you". But no. Whatever, I suppose they'll be pleased if he's got back unscathed after being off...

    Nice run and backed Ew so small profit. I think there's a decent handicap in this one along the line; maybe over further. This race was run at a decent pace, given the going. He has a full brother in Cadatharia, who won over 3m and does stay that distance, as proved by his excellent 4th in May...

    Well, not a bad run and although I'm disappointed with him being out of the money, he'll drop further in the weights and, given he ran well for a long way here, it could be they win with him soon enough.

    They're not taking any chances with the McManus trio in the handicap chase at 3.55 Naas, are they; the top three in the market. One might argue that it's a guessing game with two of them being their first handicap chase. Be that as it may, I have to pay attention to my note from November over...

    Equality - Newcsatle 5.25 - is on the comeback trail. In the past he's kept some high-class company and this is no group race, is it. The handicapper has relented and I'm not fancying the joint favourites that much here. For start, Quinalt must need further this 5f, surely. The same could be...

    Chhers, my friend. TBH, I didn't think he'd got up but think he would have won more cosily bar the mistake at the second last. Delighted, of course. :lolup:

    If Regal Blue could reproduce his win over The Changing Man, he'd look good here but what put me off was his PU in this race previously. Stable's not exactly on fore, either, Rob. As Outsider will testify, I've followed Whistlestoptour seemingly forever. With the stable form dire and the horse...
