Diary: Cheltenham Day 2

 

I was pleased with the way our selections ran today let’s hope our luck continues.

1.30 Willie Mullins has made a good start to the week and his Faugheen can add to his tally here. Rathvinden, Red Sherlock and Cup Final can fill the minor placings.

2.05 I started with a short list of 4 for this. Don Cossack gives the impression that this trip will suit while Le Bec will like the ground. Ballycasey has won both his starts over fences and this trip should bring out the best in him. The other one I like is Morning Assembly who is an accurate jumper and a tough consistent type.

Morning Assembly is my idea of the winner with the other 3 mentioned filling the minor placings.

2.40 Ex French flat winner Renneti looks well handicapped and the other one I like is Clondaw Kempfer trained by Donald McCain who is another that is potentially well treated..

3.20 Sire de Grugy has serious claims here and I would dissuade you from backing him but my selection is course and distance winner Captain Conan.

4.00 The selection is Big Shu.

4.40 Goodwood Mirage looks to have the right profile for this race.

5.15 Selection Black Hercules – danger Modus.
