    Good racing today at Cheltenham and elsewhere....so surely a few of ye have some fancies today?

    Novice chase is coming up next and I will take an each way chance of the Irish novice Sizing Australia. Trainer has some useful horses this season and think this one could run a big race on this trip and going.

    Party Boss over a mile at Lingfield with Daryll Holland booked for this good front runner looks massive at 25/1. Little Edward and Binanti would have chances in the race before that too.

    At Cheltenham Sonnyandjoe is my fancy in the staying hurdle, Idole First & saver on Granit Jack for me in the big race.

    Shocking fall for Ruby. Hope he's ok and at least he's getting the best medical help possible.

    Question over who rides Granit Jack now - all the top boys have rides in the race, Tizzard anyone?
    Hurricane Fly - whatever he runs in he wins

    Sounds like he is going to be ok but doubtful for today or the near future maybe.

    Started with Alamiyan and watched the price drift out to 16/1 on Betfair, ouch! Fortunately extremely lucky win on Arnold Layne has put me in front.

    In the 2.00 I have a sneaking fancy for Lemon Silk who learned a lot during his hurdle debut and is much better than the 17/1 chance as on Betfair. Strong ew that could win.

    Dislocated shoulder for Ruby, but the fall was fatal for the horse.

    Terrible stuff, did they both fall at the same fence?

    no, GJ at the 2nd last. Willyandwoody, 3rd last.

    GJ looked the clear winner. Shame.

    Bad day for Nicholls losing two horses particularly Granit Jack who looked to be the winner.

    Jaunty Times did me a favour last season, so I've rowed in with him in the last.

    Agreed Martin. I cannot imagine what the connections are going through. Young horses that should just be starting out on their jumping careers. I really felt ill when I saw GJ fall.

    Was quite impressed by Franchoek today, didnt impressed me before. It was good to see Sir Rambrandt win as well, not sure, what he can do next......

    Pipe horses are running in and out, mostly out for the last couple of days, not sure if this bodes well for Seven in the bumper tomorrow. The big race, a shame about Granit Jack, winner did it well enough. Knowhere strikes me as a horse which needs further.
