Secret Dancer for me in the County - a horse who's been the victim of some particularly easy/poor rides for whatever reason in recent times, most notably on his return to action this season at Ascot when held up and notn asked for any effort at all. He has good course form and it's possible he would have won a Grade 2 Novice Hurdle here back in 2009 but for his rider losing an iron at the second last. He was a closing 7th in this race in 2010 and races off a 5lb lower mark. He had other engagements this week and was declared to run in the Coral Cup on Wednesday but seems to be over whatever was ailing him (officially given as "other"), he's from one of the best gambling stables in the land (only try 3 or 4 times a year but invariably they're highly successful) so the only concern for me is the jockey - Timmy Murphy who tbh always seems keen to steer the widest possible course here at Cheltenham.

Peak Raider at about 14's in the Grand Annual could well be the getting out horse for me should things get out of hand...
A pity he didn't make the cut for it, I know some of the owners and they really fancied him.
