    My one real interest for Cheltenham 2020 is Battleofdoyen in this , a monster of a horse who I can’t wait to see jump a fence , what’s everyone’s thoughts …..when I watch him I see touches of Denman

    Think that’s a fair shout at this stage.

    Elliott rates him highly, so there has to be a good chance if he’s right, that he’ll head here or RSA.

    All roads point towards the RSA for battleoverdoyen HDLTG. He is regarded as a future gold cup horse and starts off in the drinmore. I would be very very surprised if he ended up here.

    Elliot in his stable tour today suggests there aren’t many he’s more excited about as a novice chaser this year.
    Another thing i noticed, which is probably just a one-off + not worth taking too much notice of, the picture in the paper today, he looked to make a much better shape than Samcro did when schooling lol.

    The other i like for this, but it might be the RSA is Bright Forecast.

    Superb run in the Ballymore last year, less experienced than Champ.

    Have backed samcro at 16s with bet 365. Over priced if back to his best. Cash out option is key if he crashes

    Solid start over fences for Samcro. Jumped slightly to the right at times but there wasn’t much pace on. Think they’ll be happy enough with that.

    Yes he made a nice shape over his fences

    I’d imagine the drinmore would be the next target like it was for delta work last year

    I’m quite a fan of Reserve Tank, and I took the 14/1 on offer last
    night (as in Pat’s ante post thread). I see he’s dropped a couple of points to
    12s this morning (nothing to do with my money) but I think that’s still fair.
    He did nothing but improve all last season, and whilst he was beaten in 2nd at
    slight odds on in his comeback at Chepstow he ran well enough but got the last
    all wrong and in any case he looked a tad on the bulky side to me, but this was
    clearly never a target. He will come on a lot for the run I reckon. I know Tizzard
    has had this race in mind for some time and I think he has a great shout.

    Faugheen entered in a beginners Chase for Punchestown on Saturday. Good few option for Mullins in that race so he mightn’t run but Punchestown seems like the ideal track to start him over fences.
