Cheltenham November Meeting

12:15 -Spirtofthegames - 4lbs lower than last year when 2nd, barely runs a bad race a Cheltenham and has had a prep run. 25/1 e/w

14:50 - With Paddy Power doing money back on all losers up to ?10.00 then this race is worth a bet. I really like Proschema for this with Skelton sounding bullish over his chances. I just think if he runs up to the same level at Wetherby, giving away weight to the winner at his first attempt at this distance and beating Paisley Park a 163 rated horse (albeit not in his prime) he's going to improve again and it should be enough to take this. 11/4 with Paddy or 10/3 best price.
 
Paddy Power - lower weights usually do well and I like Greatwood hurdle winner Nietzsche and the game Coole Cody (and Funky Dady is Irish!)
But there are some really classy top weights and I wouldn't be surprised if Protektorat or Simply the Betts (beat Imperial Aura CD) defy the handicapper
 
Gutted for Coole Cody but the winner had beaten Paint Your Dream over CD I missed that: pleased for Sue and Harvey of course
Protektorat had a bad blunder which set him back but should be bidding for the best races on that. Simply the Betts ran well but may have neede the race.
Still gutted about brave Coole Cody but he's ok I believe
 
Some thoughts for tomorrow. I'll be in Tatts so make yourself known if you're about tomorrow. Always happy to put faces to names.

1:10 undersupervision
1:45 the mighty don
2:20 politologue
2:55 Cormier, Jesse Evans
3:30 Washington
 
Noticing lots of support on here for Politilogue in the Shloer but I can't look past Put The Kettle On.
 
Big thanks to Charlie, Saxon Warrior and all the other forumites for sharing their insights on Editeur du Gite, Gin on Lime, Back on the lash, Blazing Khal.

I was at Cheltenham on Friday and managed to back the first 5 winners and the 4th e/w in the last race.

Also landed the Placepot plus two trebles and a double making it a real day to remember.

All capped off with seeing that incredible recovery by Rachel Blackmore - absolute disbelief in the stands when that happened followed by the loadest roar I've heard in ages.

What a day!

I think flying sara has got a solid chance in the last today, backed her the last twice and shes been very impressive in her wins

Was just coming on to say the same Ray.

She was entered in the mares listed bumper yesterday but they have skipped that one for a go at the open listed race today. Big absence to overcome but did the same last season so shouldn’t be too much of a concern.
 
Only bet today, Cormier 7/2 to place in the Greatwood
Watched a few of his races, and has had excuses with less experienced jockeys finding trouble all over the place
Dont think he will win, but with Paddy on board (who's on fire) I'm more confident of a better ride. He may bump into 1-2 decent ones here, so down down this route instead
 
Pleased Yala Enki won - better jumping. I went against YE because of the ground but the small field enabled Bryony Frost to attack from the front - two front runners have won so far.

Can't see why Sharjah isn't favourite for the Morgiana.

edit: the good thing of the day!

Bua boy coming 2nd in that race at listowel back in september could look like a really nice bit of form now with dysart diamond winning earlier today and eskylane 4th in that race is also won since then, a nice bit of form on offer for the greatwood id say
 
My long shortlist for the Greatwood:
Jesse Evans, Camprond, Tudor City, Bua Boy, Straw Fan Jack, Rowland Ward
 
Glory and Fortune my only bet in the Greatwood.

In good form having won 2 on the bounce including the Welsh Champion comfortably. Will need to step up again but has a chance.
