Diary: March 6 2009

 

Although there are 4 jumps meetings tomorrow it is typical pre Cheltenham stuff with not a lot to comment on.

At Ayr Breakwater House, who runs in the 3.30, is one I have been keeping an eye on. He was 4th on his reappearance at Wetherby last time and should strip fitter for that run. A lightly raced sort he is bred to appreciate further than this 2 miles but should go close off his mark of 95.

At Sandown the Nicky Henderson pair of Ravello Bay and Tanks For That look the ones to concentrate on in the 5.05. Ravello Bay has the better form so it is interesting that Barry Geraghty rides Tanks For That who is making his hurdles debut after a couple of decent runs in bumpers last season.

Today Cheltenham hero is Kicking King, Gold Cup winner in 2005. The picture is by kind permission of the artist Sarah Aspinall.
