Long Run to sluice home IMO.

If he jumps well and uses his speed then he potentially could. The jury is still out on him for the minute for me, at Cheltenham anyway.

Can't see past IC, but don't fancy Kauto or Denman either, so that leaves Long Run as my second consideration.

If it is soft then Pandorama would probably be capable of a bold bid.

Backed Albertas Run at 4/1 (no Poquelin)

I got him at 10/1 before everyone started defecting so sitting happy with that.

Had a bit on Wishful Thinking and and took 28/1 on Celestial Halo ew for World Hurdle.

Wishful Thinking and Big Buck's double appeals too.

Poquelin 4/1 with Hills from 8am having some of that.

Back in Focus flew home at haydock could be one to watch in the 240 on friday

My only winner of the day thanks.

Saved the day. That's two days where one horse has saved it. Need to get in front tomorrow.

Depends on the ground mate, Howard Johnson wouldn't be keen on running him unless he could get his toe in. He loves heavy ground but it won't be that bad. Can't see him doing anything if the ground stays on the fast side of good, if he runs on less than ideal ground it will only be because Wylie likes having festival runners.

Like the look of Lush Life in the Pertemps @ 14's.

Not given much of a chance by the starter last time out.

Also taking a punt on Pause and Clause in that race I think.

Always annoying when we get runners due to this, same reason Henderson ran Erict today. Would never have gone had it been his decision but the owner had a box for the week and wanted runners.

Johnson said after Haydock that the plan is to go chasing in the autumn with BIF, and that he wasn't guaranteed to go to Cheltenham, but had been entered as the owners like to have runners there. If the heavy rain comes that is forecast for Friday morning, then that will make things a bit more interesting...
