Looking at today’s racing, Cheltenham is the main card.  Some useful horses on show, a lot of them having their first run of the season, many will have long term targets, a lot will be aiming for the big festival meeting in March at the track.  I think one of the most fascinating races today is at 1:25, a Novice Chase with four horses heading the betting at around 3/1, it’s one of those races were you wouldn’t be surprised if any one of the four won it.  Black Op would be my choice if I have a bet, but it would only be small Stakes! Defi De Soil beat my selection last time, he is a good horse and I think the main danger, On The Blind Side, has looked as though he would be a nice chaser when winning over the smaller obstacles, he is having his first run of the season, so may well improve for it.

At Fakenham today Blu Cavalier 12:45 is a surprise runner is a seller for his big yard, he looks a class above his rivals if within 7lb of his best!
