Final day of the Cheltenham festival. Vauban 1.30 has looked a very good horse, he was beaten by his rival today Pied Piper on his hurdle debut, not beaten far. I think the race could be between them today, but do think Vauban might well get his revenge. At 2.50 Ginto lines up, he has won well on his three tries over hurdles in Ireland, he has a good chance of winning today, in what is a very competitive field.
The ground has been drying out , so should be good to soft, ideal jumping ground for everyone.

More soon.

A good winner advised yesterday for my subscribers. He’s A Latchico 1.46 Lingfield was advised at 11/8 yesterday morning, well ridden by Rhys Clutterbuck who is good value for his 3lb claim.

Today at Compeigne, Influx 11.35 should prove too classy for his rivals, although the trip is a tad on the short side, he has the best jockey on top and runs here for a new stable today, he has also been gelded since his last run in June 2021.
I thought the UK cards were pretty tough to find winners, although a few i like.

More soon.

Already 3 races down at Marseille today. All three have gone to horses under Christophe Soumillion. He is riding very well, with an excellent strike rate. I did like the look of Jaafar in the 12.25 race at the track, he was unlucky last time, and if he gets a better ride today, he has a strong chance of winning.

Looking at the UK meetings, favourite backers should get off to a decent start at Wetherby, the 1.45 is an ideal chance for Our Bill’s Aunt to do the business. Slow ground at the Yorkshire track, although I do not think that will inconvenience the favourite.

More soon.
