This month has been geared around getting our final preparations ready for the Cheltenham festival. It's hard to believe it is time again to be heading over. Our 2013 team consists of Jezki, Oscar Wells, Bostons Angel and Jetson. Steps to Freedom is entered in the champion hurdle but now is heading to Sandown on Saturday to run in the Imperial Cup. The improved going is good for all our runners. I'm very happy with Jezki and, as I said last week, I wouldn’t swap him for anyone in the Supreme Novices’. His form is in the book, with two Grade 1s to his name. Oscars Well has two entries in the Arkle and Jewson which race he goes for hasn't been finalized yet. I am waiting to see where other horses are heading to try and pick the right race for him. Bostons Angel is also ready for a crack at the Cross Country chase and has been hunting, which has worked well for him in the past. Although he was slightly disappointing at Punchestown, he is fit and well and should run a big race. Jetson will have to have a bit of luck to get into the Pertemps final. I hope he does as it’s been the aim all along and he is in great order. He really seems to be bouncing. Let's hope they all run well and come home safe and sound
Jezki after working at the curragh today can't wait for next Tuesday! http://t.co/RPrEUq7Arf

Hope he turns up in the arkle as I had a £20 saver on him at 12/1 which I could then never lay off!! At least it would give me two runners

Me too Tory. On him e/w at 14's and still think he'd have a decent chance of a place. Had already written that bet off so good news.

phuck me if he places in the Arkle it will be the biggest come back since Lazarus.
I like Bostons Angel of all her runners tbh, pulled a muscle last time out, still ran well considering. |

yep, he is not even in the Arkle.
I WILL NEVER BACK THIS HORSE AGAIN ANYWAY. CERTAINLY NOT THIS SEASON. Illionois, there is an audio interview with robbie power on sporting life website |

I keep looking at Bostons Angel myself. The previous winner thing always looks very attractive to me,

15lb better off with Outlaw Pete from their run at Chelts too. Still think Arabella Boy looks very well in though.

Hello,
I would like to invite you to an open morning in Jessica Harrington's on Saturday 16th March for the launch of Merrion Racing. Guests are invited to arrive at 9 am to watch the horses on the gallops after which breakfast will be served. It will be an ideal tonic following the excitement of Cheltenham and all are very welcome. Hope to see you there and should you require any further details or directions, please do not hesitate in contacting me. Hayley O'Connor Mobile: |

I'm also rather keen on Bostons Angel, was it confirmed that he pulled a muscle lto as I'v never seen that?
If true he must have cracking chance at the weights, Chelts form spot on too. |

Harrington: 'Steps to Freedom is entered in the champion hurdle but now is heading to Sandown on Saturday to run in the Imperial Cup.'
Put a free bet on this, any reason for the sudden change of heart? |

Don't know. Bit weird that.
Robbie Power said in his audio video BA pulled a muscle lto. |
