3 hours of rain so far
Bouvreuil is the PN horse the yard fancy, they're desperately hoping STD, who's been riding him out this week, gets the all clear to resume riding for the weekend.
Anyone think that Aidan Coleman gave West Approach a poor ride?
I was at Cheltenham on the corresponding day in 2011 and I backed Ericht in the Grade 2 novices' hurdle. He finished third behind Steps To Freedom, not off a yard, and I distinctly recall thinking to myself that they were clearly laying him out for a last-minute substitution veterans' chase on the same card in five years' time, even though such races hadn't even been invented then.
Runs in the first today. I love it when a plan comes together...
