Cheltenham November Meeting.

[edgt]

A J Martin looms large over Cheltenham this weekend.
A lot of entries for a man just 2 weeks back in the job he could be the key to the weekend.
Local lad Daniel King has really come of age as a jockey this year, so knows where to find the lollipop.
Paddy Twomey /Billy Lee combine to give the fillies Bumper a fright Saturday .
The older among you will remember Billy's flirtation with Nh races as a boy; now he is fully fledged he will not be found wanting.

Very hard to be enthusiastic about tomorrows card but hopefully Jonbon can show his class.

This was also my first thought looking at the card. Rather underwhelming IMO

 

[Desert Orchid]

I only did two races today, two tomorrow and I haven't looked at Sunday yet although I always study the Greatwood.

Greatwood Topweight 137. That's really bad

 

[Tanlic]

Mr. Coffee has yet to deliver but I suspect with 10st2lbs he'll go close today. Looking forward to Jonbon strutting his stuff..amazing how Nicky manages to find there walkovers for him

 

[Desert Orchid]

Greatwood Topweight 137. That's really bad

Yes. I've only just started looking at it and thought similar but it's been a trend in recent years.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Greatwood - my main bet is on Jacovec Tavern (14/1, 5 places). He was sent off 5/1f for the Ces but didn’t get home. His juvenile form with Lossiemouth puts her in here off 140 and she’s currently rated 156. Very possibly an Emmet Mullins 'job'.

 

[Tanlic]

Proteltorat could go well even with the big weight...this to me is his best trip

 

[simmo]

Nice one DO, you called it!

It was my first and biggest bet in the race but it didn't stop me throwing money away on some disappointing ones.

If I was punting this Doyen Quest would be my idea of a banker..should maybe in the should be odds on thread he is so far ahead of these

Spot on Tan.

To be honest, if I had backed that it would have been a very uncomfortable watch for me but he got there eventually. I'll be rating him with a '++' as he has to have plenty more in reserve.

Interesting, too, to hear the trainer say he has a few others for the Haydock race next week!

And well done, Tanlic

Edit - they have 7 others entered at Haydock.

Bit of a heart in mouth moment at the second for Doyen Quest backers
