    I read that Charlie Longsdon is keen to try forum favourite, Snow Leopardess, in the X-Country sphere. In fact you get the impression he is full of bullish re this plan.

    It would appear that they are looking to go for the rearranged X-Country race, on Trials Day, and then if all goes well the X-Country race at the Festival. Those bookie chappies are currently offering 25/1 re the 11YO mare and this latter race.

    A plan that is very much ground dependant so wouldnt be an antepost play for me. The X Country course is left totally to the elements so could be anything on the day. I see Samcro is in the top 6 in the betting. It wasnt that long ago he was being touted for great things.

    So then after 1,121 days away from the old track Angel's Breath looks set to reappear on Saturday - has been declared to run in Kempton's Grade 2 Silviniaco Conti Chase (2.05).

    Incidentally, this entry has caused his chasing perch to be reassessed by the handicapper. Now down to 148. Saturday though is, of course, a non-handicap and Angel's Breath is the lowest rated (on official marks) of the 6 decs.

    His last three races have been PTPs.

    Gavin Cromwell has stated that Flooring Porter is only '50-50 to make Cheltenham' after suffering a setback.

    Flooring Porter now as big as 12/1 to win a third consecutive Stayers Hurdle.

    I'd be tempted to lay off your bet if you can. Not saying he wasn't impressive today but he beat very little and 5/1 is just crazy for the Champion Bumper. Lay lay lay all day but well done on getting some 33s <ok>

    One that i know nothing about but am interested in is Encanto Bruno currently a best of 20/1 at the moment...

    Won lto at Cheltenham, unbeaten in three and some of the ones he had behind him have gone on to either win or place...

    Plus it's a bit of value considering the way the market is set at the moment...

    excellent looking card at Cheltenham for trials day on Saturday, Lots of E's in the Clarence H chase, Edwardstone to beat the odds on for me.
    Then Protektorat and in the Cotsworlds and P Park in the Cleeve, what a day to see some class racehorses in action. I'd love to see Cool Cody in the frame at a big price too.

    Galopin Des Champs shortens for the Gold Cup without even leaving his box. Hopefully he wins at the DRF next weekend because there literally isn't another staying chaser around who seems capable of stringing together a couple of wins at the highest level (perhaps Bravemansgame)

    Looks like Gerri Colombe is going for the Scilly Isles - will have a big impact on the Golden Miller Chase market

    If he goes to the Festival I would have thought the most likeliest race for him would be the NH Chase. I know he, potentially, could go over much shorter at the weekend but to me Gerri Colombe has always screamed Stayer with a capital 'S'.

    For quite a few weeks now the syndicate who own, Arcrlight, have been very loudly in the media proclaiming how much they think their filly will win or go very close in the 4YO Handicap at the Festival. With a formline of -112, over hurdles, I expect many thought they had a sound argument as well. Arclight's genius of a trainer also enhanced her value, last week, by achieving black type for the filly courtesy of that 2nd in a Listed 4YO hurdle.

    Everything looked very, very good then until this morning. Cor bally blinkin' blimey!!! Anyone see Arclight's opening handicap mark. It is just 115. This surely, surely, surely, must be one of those rare cases of connections tearing their hair out re a horse getting a lower rating than they envisaged - next to no chance of getting into the race off that rating.

    33/1 now available, for that Cheltenham race, and a couple of bookmakers no longer even quoting her!!!

    A couple of negatives re her for me - Greyval reversing form with her was disappointing, as was the proximity of the 3rd and 4th horses (rated 110 and 114 respectively). I suppose the latter point forced the handicapper's hand really.

    I think Bet365 are now NRNB on all 28 races at the festival so you could back Geri Colombe for the 3 mile Turners Novice Chase at 5/1 and for the NH Chase at 10/3 and get your money back on the one that doesn't run. Or you could take 8/1 (Coral, Ladbrokes) for the Turners and NH Chase 7/1 (various firms) and get a better return if he wins either race.

    Fecking Bet365 and their NRNB <doh>
