    Minella Rocco going the hurdle warm-up route at Exeter today in a Pertemps qualifier. Run well and I will find it hard to resist him in April.

    A bit of promise in that run QF, certainly cut for The Ultima off the back of it.

    taken some 20s on Rathvinden after today. Probably backed too many for the race now. May have to trim nearer the time.

    I might rue the day I abandoned Rathvinden! All the same though, I just can’t have a runner whose National prep has started so late.

    I can’t believe I’m so out of touch that I haven’t even looked at the weights yet. But I do know I backed Abolitionist, Rathvinden and a few others ages ago [Missed Approach, Traffic Fluide, Ballyoptic]….

    Missed Approach misses the National due to injury.

    Just noticed that Blaklion has been transferred to Phil Kirby and stands his ground in the National but probably misses Cheltenham.

    Lieutenant Colonel and Skipthecuddles were not qualified.

    What’s that about?

    Lieutenant Colonel hasn’t placed 4th or better over fences at 3m+.

    Skipthecuddles has only run in 2 chases not the minimum 3.

    Will be keeping an eye on how one of my picks Abolitionist gets on today in his prep.

    That’s just about the least enthusiastic I’ve seen The Last Samuri run. I’ve not backed him
    for the National, but if I had I’d be a bit concerned. He didn’t want to get involved almost
    from the start. Disappointing.

    Also, along with Moe and VTC, bit gutted Missed Approach wont make it. He was an ante post of
    mine, which just leaves me Traffic Fluide.

    One For Arthur was withdrawn at Kelso today because the ground was not soft enough and now goes direct to Aintree. His performances this season do not inspire confidence, but I hope Lucinda Russell can turn things around.

    At least he’ll be a fat price, Rob. I have not lost faith in him.

    I’ve just added Singlefarmpayment at 50s NRNB – twice the price he should be in my book after 2 cracking runs this season. This could be exactly what he needs.
