2.30 South Dakota (must turn around form with Pencil Hill when conceding 6lbs and only beaten a snot.)
3.05 Bentley Biscuit (my mate in Oz has been raving about this nag for months, reckons it has the beating of the fav and Ill go along with that, especially with the draw)
3.45 Cockney Rebel
4.20 George
4.55 Som Tala (backed it at Chester and wasnt impressed with the ride he got that day. Track prob didnt suit. Travels well in his races)
5.30 Vhujon

Ive backed Adam Scott at 33s e/w.<br>Just in relation to those comments about Donald. Augusta favours the short drivers with exceptional iron play. Donald said in an interview yesterday that the course suits him.<br>My other e/w punt will be on The Goose, cos i always back him!
With the ground being as bad as it was between Oct-Feb I can fully understand why connections might want to go down the flat route, then give him a break, and bring him back for next years champ hdle. It makes a lot of sense if your horse doesnt act in a bog.
All it takes is one nice priced winner to pay for the week. I was at Chelts for the first time this year. Brilliant week. Was losing my stones until the thursday when I had a nice e/w bet on L’Antartique in the opener at 25s, and then I backed Drever, so I was well up going in to the Friday, and I could afford a sizeable bet on Kauto. It could easily have gone the other way, thats the nature of Cheltenham, but I did quite well all told.
I dont think Nickname will act around Chelts, soft ground or not. Well Chief for me.<br>I am getting quite concerned though that I am fancying too many favourites. I cleaned up in 2003 when I landed a lucky 63 with 5 favs, but that was an exceptional year. Can it happen again?<br>Anyone else have this concern?
The two mares are mud lovers, Labelthou (also entered in Brit nov, but will run in WH if v soft) and Celestial. Blazing Bailey seemed to act on soft v well the last day. Thats who Ill be on.
Lounaos is my banker for the week. Im on at 8s and I’ll be going in again.<br>I like Den of Iniquity for the bumper. Llewellyn has two live ones for this, but Im pretty sure he will only run this one so as he can take the ride himself. Of course the owners might have something to say, but I thought I read somewhere that he would keep one for Aintree.
It is fairly obvious these days to concentrate on the top 5-6 in the market. With much of the chance eliminated due to safety etc, the market will invariably get it right. The housewives will still have their few bob on the 66/1 shots but surely thats about it.<br>Ill prob back Numbersix again, and FFT if he lines up. Im not in to choosing more than 2 horses. I dont see the point. I wouldnt do it in any other race.
Obviously the weights will be all important. Numbersix is sure to go well again. Ive been following Kilbeggan Blade all season and he owes me nowt. He’s a good jumper and stays very well.
