    the national award for worst jumpers?

    Cannot have Well Chief on my mind; nor the game Ashleybrook. More bounce here than kickout time  in a Walsall nightclub.

    Nickname is not going to like that ground, (on all known form) and Newmill won a forgettable renewal last year.  

    VPU is the most solid of the market leaders and is the most likely winner in my book – but is an unremarkable price.

    To this end, (and agreeing with Danny above), I have backed River City (win and place) at prices. With every ray of sunshine falling on Prestbury Park, his chance improves.

    Fat as a friar at Ascot; a Spring, good ground horse with high class track form and from a yard that exists only for Cheltenham.

    (As for Monet’s running in the Ryanair. What an opportunity wasted! Could have won this with pony jockey Rose Davison on top. *grumble*).

    No he’s not going for that the competition is to strong Dempsey is by far a worse jumper than Sporazene, which Dempsey will prove tomorrow.

    I hope you’re wrong, GH, but I’m prepared to listen.

    What about the bounce factor?

    You do no Sporazene isn’t running don’t you Grasshopper. and i agree with you Well Chief will win easily with Newmill and River City making up the places.

    I agree Grassy.

    If the real WC turns up, he will hose up imo.

    I really cannot see why so many people rate this VPU so highly.

    I don’t buy this bounce factor at all.

    Only thing I am worrying about is how much bottle I can conjur up tomorrow to put on Well Chief.

    There’s a very good chance that Newmill could run better than he did last year and fail to win. If Well Chief is as good as he was, he’ll win comfortably, the winning distance will depend on where Murphy asks him for his effort. Newbury suggested to me that he probably is as good as he was. Wouldn’t be worried about the bounce as I’d imagine he’s had harder races on the gallops.

    "bounce" for me is simply when they are rushed back a little too quickly

    Unlikely here…

    Not quite sure i can back him at 7/4 (tomorrow is a very tricky day all round) but would love to see him win…would be a massive cheer too

    I’m pretty sure you can’t back him at 7/4. More like 2.44 on betfair.

    Oppose Well Chief at your peril, imo.<br>Anyone who thinks it wasn’t a proper test lto, or that Ashley Brook ran below form, should maybe look at the s/f’s for that race.<br>WC ran a 185, a top class figure and a lifetime personal best.:cool:

    Evens now Well Chief. Favourite has won in Denman gotta feeling Well Chief is going to make it two in a row now, little confidence behind anything else it seems. Evens is way too short but I think Well Chief will win now.
