Talking of the Festival, don't be surprised to hear news about a former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner who was due to line up in steeplechasing's Blue Riband in the next few days.
Bit of a cryptic ending here from Mark Howard,only APT & Minella Indo are former winners due to run this year,might be an idea to keep a eye on the exchanges if you've backed either of the pair.
This doesn't sound like confidence at all to me, this is totally just my opinion but I think in the next 10 days we might get some announcement. Very similar case to last year when Matt quizzed Richard on Inspiral.

Got a few mixed signals from it myself. Thought he seemed very down beat about him making it with the lanaguage he used, letting it slip bit more work to do, but near the end of the interview he seemed to try and reassure he would be there! But Imo I would be like yourself and wouldnt be surprised if he doesn't make it!
Minella Indo really is in mighty form. Mark Walsh got good news yesterday and he hopes to be back riding before the festival, so he'll ride Indo if Rachael doesn't. He's a great rider and a great man to have on your side in a race like that.

I think he's one of our best chances of the week. It will be tough – all Gold Cups are – but I think he probably is my best chance since Kauto. We always had little doubts about the track for Clan Des Obeaux and Silviniaco Conti, who were good horses, but couldn't do it.
”starting to show the right signs” I’d bloody well hope so with the festival only a couple weeks away!
Surely only 1 or 2 proper pieces of work to go for most of these horses depending what day they are running. Archie et al will obviously know better on that front.

Just about the only option worse than last year's (Walsh that is)
It's an HdB quote that, not a Lobos original I assume.

Also the mention of Rachel possibly riding Minella Indo is off-putting.
