Good results for my followers yesterday. Leopard Du Berlais won easily in the 1:15 at Auteuil and looks like the best young horse in France at the moment.

Kaadam, in the 3:07 and backed each way by me at 22/1, was travelling strongly and looked to have a big chance when he landed too steeply two fences from home and fell. He had every chance of winning at the time. He has been prone to jumping errors this season, but if he puts it all together, there’s another big prize in him.

At Cheltenham, Alexei — whom I backed on Saturday at 9/1 — won the big handicap hurdle comfortably at around 3/1. He was well supported in the betting throughout the day.

More soon.
