The first two saturdays in January must be just about the most boring of the year - the Lanzarote Hurdle yawn, the Warwick classic chase snore and the Tolworth and a 3m chase last week that even beefed up by Levy Board cash was boring in the extreme .
Surely these two Saturdays need an injection of excitement ? Shame Sandown let the Anthony Mildmay Peter Cazalet Memorial go to the wall like all its other top staying chases - the Gallaher Gold Cup long history, the Gainsborough ( which Dessie warmed up for Cheltenham in ) now a ropey handicap and even the Whitbread now a joke of a race compared to its past
Roll on Cheltenham trials day .
