    Will do Colonel.

    Don't think it's an online publication though. Just did the Pertemps there, focused on the top 8 or 9 in the market. Cert about 5 of them won't run, and the other 4 will be tailed off.
    I gave a fancy and a danger at the end of each preview too.

    Probably more to do with the hype that the horse generates and the pressure they will be under, no harm and trying to play it down or at least attempt to.

    The cough in Nicholls yard is a non issue really, Kauto and a few more of the big guns are housed seperately and there has been no issue with any of them.

    Anyone know when the races , the handicaps in particular, will be whittled down to a manageable number, some still have over 70 entries? Too many to trawl through yet, gonna concentrate on the Arkle to begin with..

    You'd probably be asking for your money back... :p
    Will have to sit down and take a decent look at the entries before I make any selections - real life has been manic recently :(

    Weights will be confirmed next Wednesday so that should allow you to rule a good few out.

    Was very impressive last time out alright BUT will he get up the hill? He definitely didn't last year.. at 5/1 AL Ferof could be an each-way bet to nothing, he will definitely get up the hill. So much to take on board.. I LOVE CHELTENHAM!!!!!!

    English horses with published marks will run off them. Bit of a question mark over the Irish horses marks tho.
