    9/2 e/w suits me fine about Silverburn! The more i look at the race the more
    he jumps off the page at me! All things being equal i cant see him out the 1st 4 and i cant see a single horse he should fear at these weights!

    I just hope everything gets the all clear at Jonjo"s being a big fan of Albertas run , Exotic dancer, and Wichita lineman! Having said that Exotic never ran to his ability after the Betfair ( handicapper take note! Why Exotic had to give Knowhere 18 lb in the roan chase having won nothing last year and Knowhere beats Our Vic who had beaten Exotic in the King George is a joke) Wichita never ran to his ability all last season and yet Albertas ran well all season! But ran a shocker 1st time out! Weird!

    The only thing that can beat JERED is Heavy ground! There is no horse better on Good ground!

    What about Robert Earnshaw! He must have been a fan of the great stylist
    Fred Archer! You didn"t say they had to be good Jockeys!

    BENNYB, I am happy to share my vast knowledge with you, although i must say FISTS appears to be an extemely knowledgeable individual! My
    advice would be to include next years Champion hurdle winner JERED!

    By the end of this season i am expecting Silverburn to be rated in the high 150"s, So to see him running off a mark of 143 makes him my Paddy Power selection! 21/2m on soft ground around Cheltenham will suit him
    perfectly! He strikes me as a slow learner, but one who has a progressive
    profile and i doubt we have seen anywhere near the best of him yet! His form with Massinis Maguire and Tidal bay is good enough for me! I have backed him e/w at 9/2!

    Equitrack, Gold Cup winners can be described as Workmanlike! Denman for instance Grinds his opponents into submission with his resolute galloping! Harchibald on the other hand wouldn"t have a days work in him!
    Breedsbreeze was not a flashy winner unlike his stable companion I"msingingtheblues was! Ruby had to get down to "work" on Breedsbreeze and the horse responded gallantly and won like a horse who will hold his own in Grade 1 company! You will hear the word again!

    Everything Aran Concerto achieved over hurdles was a bonus, He really does look a chaser of the highest order! i just hope he"s not too dependant on soft ground! Certainly looks like he would handle a quicker surface and 3m would suit him even more!

    Both Nottingham and Doncaster are superb for viewing the whole track and are easily accessible! Both tracks have seriously deteriorated in the
    catering department! Particularly Doncaster now they have stopped creating their unique Chicken Curry! It certainly made up for watching ORIENTOR get beat every year in the Cammidge trophy!!

    Having backed Denman Ante-post for the 07 Sun alliance ch at 7/1 and the 08 Gold Cup at 10/1 i could be bias to the Champ! But i am of the opinion that Kauto Star ran below his best in Denmans Gold Cup and believe that on Good/soft ground Kauto will seek his revenge on his stable companion! Neither appeal as Ante-post propositions as i believe in the
    Young pretender Albertas Run at 33/1 to be placed and i know his season will be geared to getting to the Gold Cup! Thats how highly he is regarded
    by connections!

    To date the Ryanair has 2 potential winners in Tidal Bay and Noland wether they end up there, time will tell, though both are quoted at single figure prices to be victorious. They both also look like being 21/2m specialists to me! Of the 2 i favour Noland at this time as Tidal Bay could end up in the 2m Champion ch or 31/4m Gold Cup!

    Breedsbreeze puts himself up there with the best Novice chasers this season with a workmanlike performance over 2m5f at Wincanton yesterday! I felt his jumping could have been better but he carefully made his way round! Still not 100% convinced he"s a 3m+ horse but defineately has a classy profile!

    TASTAHIL v MAGICALMYSTERYTOUR, Thats the formline i am interested in, i felt Tastahil should have finished closer the last time they met at Doncaster and have backed him e/w at 16/1. We shall see! Its just not a great November handicap!

    Marble, So and so being Mastercraftsman! Bills unfortunately come 1st
    thats why i am still playing after 25yrs! Seen people in bookmakers have £3000 trebles! 1st 2 win and guess what! they are what i call MUG PUNTERS and 90% of gamblers in this country are exactly that! Obviously to a smaller stake but the principle is the same! GREED!
