I was looking at Protekorat  in the PP the weekend and thought its a tough ask of top weight and surprised he's not starting off in a graded race somewhere. So I thought whats he trying to frame the Handicap for ? Skleton hasn't another runner in the race then as I went through the runners Madara that is down atm as being trained by Keiran Burke is actually having his first run for Dan Skelton and gets in off 10-1 if the unpronounceable one takes his chance. Madara is only 5 so open to improvement and he does have some decent form to speak of. He beat Excelsious who's 10/1 bp for this over 2 mile at the course and beat a useful type in Path d'roux to land the 59k Ryan air hc chase at Lep. He went off 11/2 for for the Johnny Henderson didn't disgrace himself  he made a bad mistake 3 out and got tired in the heavy ground. He's then changed trainer from sophie leech to Keiran Burke who gave him run around at Ascot the weekend before last and now switches to Skeltons yard. Admittedly its worrying firstly that Skelton won't of had hardly anytime to work with him and I wouldn't be sure he'll run and his comeback run was less than impressive always held up and never got into it but either way those 2 pieces of form from last year are strong and at least there is one win at the course. Its also a worry that having only had 11 days he might not be ready but Skeltons left him in at this stage.

On a bit of a wing and a prayer I've had a decent rattle at 33/1 in hopes he turns up. I'll be down at Cheltenham on Saturday if anyone fancies saying hello and maybe having a quick pint then you're more than welcome,those who might still have my phone number from a group i was in once feel free to drop me a message if not dm or pm whatever they are called me on here and we'll sort something.
