Yes, Spring has sprung and it's the time of year when every red-blooded punter's thoughts turn to ... no, not love, Cheltenham!
The annual National Hunt Festival gets under way at Prestbury Park this afternoon and the anticipation is as great as ever. Four days of top class jump racing - the best of British and Irish thoroughbreds, the best jockeys, the absolute cream. It's always something to saviour, and while I'm not going down to the Cotswolds this year all the usual preparations have been made: the form has been studied and studied again, the horses picked, discarded and reselected and the first day's bets have been placed. Everything's in place, the wallet's full - what could possibly go wrong now?
Tuesday's Selections (all each way):
1.30 Mikhael D'Haguenet, Torphichen
2.05 Imsingingtheblues, Calgary Bay
2.40 My Will, Star De Mohaison
3.20 Osana, Punjabi (I think BINOCULAR will win, but too short a price)
4.00 Freney's Well, A New Story (L'AMI should win, but again very short price)
4.40 Strong arguments can be made for Quevega, United and Chomba Womba - all can be fancied, but I'm taking a chance on outsider Oscar Rebel.
Blogging could be light for the rest of this week - if today's selections fail to deliver, I may have to sell the computer!
Good luck!
