Cheltenham
2.00 Although the ground may be a slight concern Creepy looks to have more potential than some of his rivals. The trip should hold no fears and he has shown form at the track.
2.35 Easter Meteor and Vulcanite come from in form stables and both act on good ground. It is very tempting to go for Easter Meteor who was second in this race last season. He has however gone up a fair bit in the weights since then which just tips the scales in favour of Vulcanite who is the mount of AP McCoy.
5.00 Recent Chepstow winner Balder Success drops back to 2 miles here which should suit him.
5.30 There are some nice types in this race which should be informative. Regal diamond won well at Aintree and will do for me.
Kelso
1.35 Plan Again has shown from in point to points and when winning his bumper. He looks the one top beat.
2.10 Full Jack has form in France and plenty of experience. He is one to consider as is Green Flag who is very well regarded by trainer Lucinda Russell. My marginal preference is for Imperial Vic who has won 4 out of 6 when partnered by Danny Cook.
4.35 Mysteree is the selection.
