Not necessarily a plot horse but 1 who hasnt really had his conditions to suit thro the winter hence gr8 hcap mark
Third Intention of Tizzards(143) in Byrne Plate needs decent ground ran an absolute stormer against Dynaste(rated 165) @ Liverpool 3 miles absolutely tanking /pulling double 3 out with Rocky Creek(rated 157)well back in 3rd. Won novice chase @ track albeit 2 horse race on good ground in autumn ran a promising race @ Ascot in Reynoldstown just couldnt pick his feet up in bad ground. |

Wetak, 33-1, ex French trained, 2nd run for Pipe(fell over 3m) back to a more suitable distance tomorrow, has course form in a 2m chase here around 16 months ago and ran well, dont know if its its best distance or not, looks like its spent most of its life on soft
But a very decent run here on better ground at CHELT....... WHO KNOWS, Pipe quotes "Could be a lively outsider" |

Now we're talking! It's my mission for the next 2 months to keep this thread near the top of this newsgroup! |

Regal Encore to start you off. Sent over fences and so far campaigned at distances well short of his best.

Wouldn't be the biggest shock if Minella Rocco rediscovered his form around March time, just wouldn't like to say which race that would be in!

I'm pretty sure my last handicap win at the festival was Young Spartacus in the 2003 Mildmay of Flete.

Wouldn't surprise me if Kitten Rock is aimed at the Centenary Novices Chase.

After his run this season John Constable off 139 is just 2lbs higher than his rating after just 2 juvenile runs last season. Ground would have been soft enough and look at what San Benedeto and Sternrubin have done for the form since to make him look very nicely treated. It's only those and the horse that came last (song light) that have been seen since and even that was a never nearer 5th behind Sternrubin in the ladbroke. Looking like a surprisingly hot little handicap now.
Even Altior is fluidly connected to the form too before he's shown himself as a bit of a beast. He met Ch'tbello of Skelton's who was behind Sternrubin and Constable next time. Not a lot between Altior and Skelton's so he's one to keep an eye on with wilberdragon and kapstadt who made up the race. Not surprising he hasn't been seen since November! 33/1 coral cup. |

Given one of the poorest rides 2014 festival you will see.
Beaten a total of 137 lengths so far this season. Winner of 2015 Grand Annual Within 1 lb of last years mark,144 current rating BHA website Not a trends horse ?Graded horse running in handicaps Watched re-run of every race last night.Next Sensation won in great style in the concluding grand annual on friday,runs well fresh,and hosed up last march despite clouting the 4th fence.If the words T Scu appear under the jockey column,and trainer gets him there in the same form,he will take the world of beating. Main problem might be having any tokens left by 5-15 friday  |

Probably not a dark one but Doctor Harper back up in trip over fences when he gets a mark.

Agree entirely with Noctural. Have backed him for the race the last two years running off 142 and 143 last year.
Most likely runs off 144 this year and won in style last year. Took the 25's last week in the hope that he comes back in the same form as last year as it seemed a big price as it is 100% the target if he's fit. Fingers crossed I'm not trying to claw back my losses by 5:15 on the Friday!! |

FB has been consistently placed recently but just finding horses "too good", won the Pertemps off 148 two years ago and now down to 142

Certainly had the handbrake on yesterday.

O'Grady surely thinks Kitten Rock is a bit better than a handicap. He hurt his back the last day and surely is a decent outsider in opposition to Douvan.
Bleu Et Roge could be a County Hurdle horse. |

The Young Master, 3 mile Handicap on the Tuesday. Not exactly a dark one but was given a very tender ride on his last start. Entered for The Cleeve on Saturday which The Druids Nephew ran in last year before going on to win the same race at the festival. Will surely run at Cheltenham as the Waley Cohens have bought into him & this is the only logical race to run in, 20s looks a fair price to me.
