Cheltenham Festival Handicaps 2018

[Marb]

Vaniteux in the getting-out-alive stakes..... I'm just hoping the jolly wins the Foxhunters at 4:10..... so I can get more on...

I've not really landed a proper blow since Shantou Flyer placed and Mister Whitaker won on Tuesday, apart from the odd placer.

With Vaniteux, I believe I will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!!!!!!!

Might break my rule of no more than a tenner ew in these handicap if Dream Berry is placed.............

Le Prezien was a big gamble in the Johnny Henderson last year and ran well enough considering the ground was a bit too lively for him.

In the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup Handicap Chase he was recorded as making a mistake at the 3rd last what was more like a trip when he landed.

Whatever!!!!! it stopped him dead and that was that. What the form book doesn't tell you as he was a bit unsighted is he really clouted 1 possibly 2 prior to that so it wasn't his day.

He ran a very good race in the Bet Victor Gold Cup Handicap Chase behind Splash of Ginge over slightly shorter again on this course.

If he can polish up his jumping this 2 miles on Heavy ground might be exactly what he needs and that man PN seldom goes home empty handed

Le Prezien 14/1 EW to go home OR maybe

Well done mate you're too good for this place
