Showcase Meeting - Cheltenham

Singlefarmpayment just prepping. Looks the instructions were to win if the race went his way otherwise don't mess the horse about.

Immediate impression is that Cogry might have improved again but I'll need to get down to the nuts and bolts of the race. He might have been the only 100% trier.
 
The 2nd and 4th should be capable of better. The 4th in particular seemed to be given a very quiet ride

I'm sweet on Stick To The Plan in the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle tomorrow with the bottom weight for Dan Skelton. I've put this horse as a dark horse in one of my ten to follow lists. I'm guessing he'd be higher in the ratings had he not unseated last time. I'm chuffed he has just made the cut.

Luccombe Down I remember from last season as an eyecatcher, so not completely ruled out, but no way I would have him over Stick To The Plan, who looks progressive, unexposed, and nicely handicapped.

Betfair were 28/1 on STTP earlier in the week which looks great value now. He'll go off a fair bit shorter than that. He's not banker material, but looks one of the better chances on this card.
Not a bad performance given the unseating that happened last time. The winner, third, and fourth are good yardsticks. I will be keen to see how the handicapper reacts to today. I haven't given up hope that Stick To The Plan will get some points for me in the competition this year!
