Cheltenian

Runs at tomorrow against New Year's Eve and Snake Eyes. Race value less than £4k at Donny on a Wednesday.Course rewarded or providing better ground than most, I suppose. Interesting race, anyway.

would be a serious training performance if he comes out on top today..

Massive run from Cheltenian today,just got nabbed on the line.

He shouldn't be going to Cheltenham off the back of one novice hurdle, surely should wait for Aintree?

^ They won't be able to resist it.

Cheltenian was made a 16-1 chance for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle by Paddy Power and the same price for the Neptune Novices' Hurdle by bet365.

Sarah Hobbs, wife of trainer Philip Hobbs, said: "We're delighted with him. He jumped very well and was just a bit green at the end; he didn't know what to do by himself.

"He would have needed the run but hopefully it's on to Cheltenham now for the Supreme as long as his legs are okay in the morning - that's the main thing."

agree with Brooksie but also agree with unclepuncle.

For me was a very taking performance today especially as he ran all over the track from 2 out, found more when challenged by Valdez and just got mugged right on the line.

He's still available at 33s in plenty of places and 40 on here. Not really tempted even at those prices given the depth of the race but he looks like a very decent novice chase prospect for next season to me.

Anyone know how his legs are this morning?

Supreme bound,pulled really hard last time out.Surely must have place claims,if settled and improved for last run.
