yeah its been of the big talking points this season - he had an irregular heart beat and was treated. he didnt look great on his comeback appearance, but he certainly needed it and he doesnt like going right handed. It would be great to see him back to his best on Friday, but to be honest, no-one really knows if last years Denman will show up.
Other than the highlight of the Gold Cup, it should be another great weeks racing, as long as the weather holds off which seems unlikely at this stage. I prefer to see these championship races run on the best ground possible rather than in a slog!

Everyone needs to cross everything that Cheltenham doesn't get all of the rain they have forecast on Monday night (the worst time possible for heavy rainfall). Still good to soft with a gutsy wind at the moment. If they miss the rain (the track itself often does miss the worst of it) it could be Good for the opening day.

I'm praying that it isn't soft ground because it ruins everything (not least my ante post vouchers!!). I've just about had enough with soft ground now. Bring on the flat and fast ground!!!!!

Praying most of the rain stays away tonight for Red Moloney in the first race. He is some horse.

Aachen is also very interesting now that he's been left in the race by connections. I don't really like Cousin Vinny, not at the prices. I don't think he jumps that well (especially not at speed) and with him not travelling over very well and not eating up, I'm against him.

Interested in Tartak in the Arkle. I'm on at 25/1 and now only 12's. Follow The Plan would be my alternative.

Harchi is running tomorrow.

Voy Por on Thursday, but no Monet unless I've been completely blind.

I should really look when I'm not rushed, huh?

Thought Monet was here...

Godspeed, Harchi! Won't win but whatever!


Good luck to Simon and United tomorrow!
