Mine for tomorrow:
1:30 - Highly unusual to have the opportunity to dutch Mullins & Henderson runners in this but we have that opportunity here. Klassical Dream & Angels Breath are my selections. I don't like Al Dancer for this at all, don't think his form stacks up. I loved Klassical Dreams run last time as I said in here, I think he has plenty of experience in France and with this being only his third start for Willie I expect another jump forward. Angels Breath I think has bags of talent, I also loved his run at Kempton the last day, he looked run off his feet and the stiffer track at Cheltenham should really suit.
2:10 - All about Hardline here for me, I thought Le Richebourg was an absoltute banker and Hardline has the best form in a line through Us and them with Le Richebourg. Don't fancy any of the British, Lalor would be a threat but he's a horse I struggle to get right.
2:50 - Going three pronged here, Minella Rocco, Calipto & Vintage Clouds. Minella Rocco in Handicap company makes great appeal, he's very rarely run well out of the Festival and if he's even close to his Gold Cup 2nd or win in the 4 milers he absolutely bolts up here. 8/1 makes great appeal about a horse that beaten the current Gold Cup holder twice at the track. I've been very taken with Calipto since stepping up to three miles for Venetia. I thought he looked outpaced on a flat track at Doncaster before running a very big race at a stiffer track at Ascot. I think he's still unexposed at the trip and has run several good races at the track over 2 miles, I think there's some improvement in him. Finally Vintage Clouds is a horse I'm a huge fan of, hes run two big races in this race in the past along with placing in the scottish national. I think the wind surgery he's undergone could be key to him, he didn't always seem to be finishing out his races.
4:50 - Two pronged here and both the front end of the market. Case is easy to make for both. A Plus Tard is highly unexposed and jumps really well, he seems to be progressing with each run and should be bang there at the end. The other is Tower Bridge, he was run consistently in Grade 1 level over hurdles by connections who know a Grade 1 horse when they see one, including a very creditible run in the Alber Bartlett. He's failed to sparkle over fences for some reason, I actually quite like his jumping so I feel he could be chucked in in a handicap here.
5:30 - Finally this is one of my NAPs of the meeting, Ballyward. I genuinely think he'd go close in the RSA. He looks like a proper Grade 1 animal.
