    He has been hyped and a let down but Charli Parcs caught the eye in the betfair hurdle a long way before not picking up on bad ground. Could be one for the county?

    Was thinking the same he had an inexperienced amateur on board too. The betfair and coral hurdles will throw up plenty of winners

    Not an amateur, very accomplished. Think Charli Parcs is a bit of a hound myself.

    He’s a clarimer with 3 recorded wins to his name? Hardly tony McCoy

    And you still have it wrong :D He has a very good strike rate and 14 wins in just over two season, his strike rate for Henderson (his boss) is over 25%.

    Inexperienced yes but not an amatuer and a very promising jockey

    He has 14 jumps wins to his name from 70 rides including bumpers. Had over 70 rides on the flat before that. Hardly an amateur as you stated.

    Haha had it filtered to flat. He has 17 wins all codes. Still hardly tony McCoy :D
    In any event, focusing on the horse rather than the jockey, he was promising early in career but early to write him off at 5

    Can’t get any worse than last season when loads died or got injury nearly each week for about 8 weeks building up to Cheltenham.

    Confidence builder. If he can jump around Gowran he will jump anywhere. Gowran have the most difficult fences in the country and the result won’t be the concern for Jessie, his jumping will be. If he jumps around but gets done for pace over 2m 5f they won’t care. This is the perfect prep for the horse and for anyone out to back him I’d be wary of steaming in. He won’t be given a hard race at all it’s effectively going to be a competitive schooling session for him.

    Starting to think you're the Racing Blogger...or at least inspired by him.

    I am excited to see Douvan again, much more than I was for Faugheen.

    Personally still dont expect to see Douvan or VVM until Punchestown

    Be very interesting to see who went where if they were back

    RP tweeting that Douvan being aimed at the Ryanair not the QMCC

    Out of all the above mentioned you know who I'd be looking forward to seeing the most Bellshill.

    Funny ol sort Bellshill

    Had had stages in his career where he looked a potential star, then always comes to an abrupt halt

    Still have faith tho, if in the right race

    He'll absolutely piss up somewhere off 148. He hammered Balko des Flos in his beginners chase. I hope WP has his eye on the Irish National for him and stick to hurdles with him until then.

    Said it on the Opposite View forum recently that I'd fear the CH will be a 2 place market come the day as a lot of the entered 5 year olds will be out of it to. Hope its not
    Question is will Defi be at Cheltenham at all or where's next?

    Last few years the Triumphs have collapsed retrospectively

    Ivanovic in particular has just nosedived

    Defi looks similar now. This time last year Defi and Death Duty were all the rage pre cheltenham along with Neon Wolf

    S Royale is going to get a lovely tow in that Arkle, whether he wins is another matter but race will suit.
