Cheltenham
14,05 Flintara 12/1 e/w PP and betfair three places, 10/1 others
17,00 Anno Power 7/2

 

Newmarket 3.00 Marshman

 

In the Mares' Bumper at Cheltenham (17:00), the possible favourite, Anno Power, will take some beating. Favoured by current track conditions, she showed a good turn-of-foot to win LTO after running second on her debut run. Wears hood as in previous run. Jonathan Burke rides for the in-form Harry Fry stable.

3/1 (Wm.Hill/BetUK) top price early-doors, on the ATR site.

 

Newmarket 2.25 - Cavalry Call

 

Why do a lot of the fences look like hurdles at this Cheltenham meeting?

 

because they are jumping from good ground for the first time in 8 months?

 

Agree that Lead Artist is the one to take out of the Wood Ditton. By Dubawi out of a Frankel mare who hales from Juddmonte's best family (the Hasili family of Dansili etc.). Can see him being a force over 10f in the future.

 

Taking a chance with Champagne Prince ew in the Craven. Has won both races easily so could be anything. Although just seen him and doesn't exactly (as they say) fill the eye. French horse looks good

 

Haatem impressive at Newmarket

 

The ultra-consistent Northern Express has solid claims in the 15-runner Handicap at Newmarket over 7f on good ground. Paul Mulrennan rides for the Michael Dods stable.

11/1 (Wm.Hill/Coral) top price atm on the ATR site.E/W best option.

 

Agree, has blown the Craven field away. Surely Rosallion is better than this colt.

Also thought Sons and Lovers ran a hugely promising race. Is he worth a try at a Derby trial?

 

**** race. Champagne Prince found the step up in class on turf far too much and was out of his depth here. The favs ran stinkers and the winner was fully exposed. Pity Vandeek isn't running in the 2000 Gns (as long as he stays 8f). 1/10 City of Troy

 

I would be very grateful if Vandeek would not be mentioned too much

 

Endless Victory made hard work of that

Anno Power won.
Flintara 2nd.

 

Sorry we clashed on this one, Pilgrim. Did not notice you had already put it up earlier, otherwise I would have mentioned it. Never mind, Anno Power delivered the goods, that's what counts!
