It’s great when you are on Sean Bowen, but not so great when you are on the second. Think some other jocks would have given up on Wade Out. Typical the way my betting is going at moment

Sensational!!!
 
That will take some beating for the ride of the season. He is utterly superb. The horse ain't bad either. Could be a live BANC horse.

Doesn't jump well enough for that. Apparently Murphy name checked the NH Chase which looks the logical option.

Hell need to jump for that as well 😂

Think he'll be so much better in decent ground. He hated every bit of that.
 
Fellas, someone has obviously made a mistake, I got a very small % back on cashing out on Jasmine De Vaux there with PP.

It’s probably just a mistake and you’ve done well to get out, but I’m always a little nervous with this stuff. Have they added him back to the market as there’s a chance he’s back earlier than expected?

…..Racing Post;

We HAVE racing at Cheltenham today!

It's good news for everyone concerned after the track passed its morning inspection. The ground is described as heavy, soft in places, and the Paddy Power Gold Cup (2.20) is the centrepiece of Saturday’s seven-race card, which is due to get underway at 12.35pm.

The forecast is for light drizzle on Saturday morning, followed by a dry period.

First horse added to my list for the Ultima Handicap Chase in March.

Hoe Joly Smoke - 3rd in Paddy Power today, jumped nice, charged home, 3m on better ground in March right up his street.
Just a note that Dan Skelton said they wanted to run him today over 2m4 as they thought he didn't stay 3m1 on his debut, so could also be one for the Plate.
