Just means he’s gone, I’d think.
Barber’s Shop has a kind of Sizing Europe destiny feel. Shorter to just put that now as I’ve argued his chances all thread long
I’m a huge Barbers Shop fan, too.
Nicky felt that he paid the price for trying to go with Denman at Newbury and Kauto at Kemmpton.
If you look back at those races, he was travelling as well as anything in the Hennessy before his stamina gave way. The horse kept on admirably at the end, but it was a step too far for him.
He was the only one to emerge from the pack at Kempton before a combination of that effort and trying to go with Kauto took its toll on the horse – he only just managed to scramble over the last that day and was caught on the line by Madison Du Berlais.
He’s shown his liking for the course in the past and I agree that two miles-five around here is perfect for him.
Doesn’t have an impressive win – run ratio so it’s difficult to have any real confidence in the horse, but it would be another grand moment if a horse bred by the late Queen Mother could do the business at Cheltenham.

Schindler’s Hunt appears to be in reasonable form – his third to Joncol in the Irish Henessy looks on a par with anything else he has achieved – and he’ll handle good and soft ground.
A tentative selection.
VPU is now 11 years old and I’m pretty sure Alan King hasn’t been pushing him. I think he’s trained him in the hope there’s one good race in him and this is it but he’s flogging a dead horse and his time has passed.
VPU is 9 years old and here’s hoping he puts in a good round tomorrow.

Can’t be right i think he scoot up.
The top 2 surely win it….way way to classy for the rest
I like Poquelin, but I do think VPU has a decent EW chance. It seems like connections aren’t entirely sure what trip suits him these days.
For stats fans, his Cheltenham record reads 11222.
Certainly worth a look, IMHO.

So don't run, just like the others always do
Why is Deep Purple 25/1?
On his form of the start of the season he has the beating of plenty of these.

Had a small wager on DP last night, but main money goes on Poquelin – just hope the rain stays away

I can’t see this horse being anywhere else but in the thick of it coming over the last.
It’s pivotal that he has this type of ground and he ran a cracker in this last year.
I’d be surprised if he was 12/1 by 2.40. My ew selection in the race.
Shouldn’t be any rain today or tomorrow, maybe a little over night but not much apparently………the driest Cheltenham for a while…….I think Schindlers Hunt, Poquelin and VPU will be fighting it out in the end although TS and BS could have a say (hedging my bets I know). A cracking race in prospect.
No concern for Deep Purple backers that his form in fields of 11+ runners is 1460009P? That victory came on his debut on the flat.
Im personally expecting a huge run from Voy Por today.
Will probably be wearing blinkers too, which have sharpened him up.

Barbers Shop was giving weight when 2nd to Imperial Commander in the PP 08. That form is good for this race. Planet of Sound is too big and a good e/w. Form from arkle has worked out and wont mind extra 1/2 mile.
