I think this is the right place

Burn And Turn: She was second in the Galway Plate to Road To Riches, which is quite good form and she’ll run in the two-mile-five handicap chase provided that the ground is reasonably good. She always goes well fresh, so I’d be happy that she’d run a good race and she’s a good jumper. She won at Punchestown last year over two-five so I think it’s the right distance for her.

You see MrMcGoldrick in that list for 2008, gave me my biggest priced Cheltenham winner ever in that race, awesome.

He finished in front of Moscow Flyer and Kauto Star one day.

Terrible race for fancied runners, but I did land a nice touch on Something Wells in this one at around 50/1 on the Billy Goat a few years back.
Venetia usually targets it and the stats boys tell you that French Breds go well in it.

A shocker for favourites (to win)

The handicapper gave him his first break in the plate, he got a few pounds off some relatively ordinary horses, then Sue Smith had the common sense to put Dominic Elsworth bak on, and he was superb, there can't have been many wider margin victories in the history of the fez than his

Ericht will run in the two-mile-five handicap chase (Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate). He ran very well in the Paddy Power and good ground helps him a lot. We might run French Opera in that race too as I think he just wants that bit further now, while Tanks For That will go for the Grand Annual.
