Friday 16th November

This Friday meeting always looks disappointing. Cheltenham are such greedy buggers. Killing their geese in my opinion.


Still there must be some juice somewhere. Here's a couple of tissues.


1:20
Ofarel Dairy 7/4
Fundamentalist 4/1
Glasker Mill 5/1
Ballyfoy 6/1
Boychuk 6/1


These graduation chases are funny little things – chances for horses that have fallen to pieces to pull themselves together. On the whole they are more useful for having form lines to ignore in future than anything else. Nicholls seems to use them best.

Ofarel D'airey looks solid here. Glasker Mill coule be the challenger IF you are prepared to be very forgiving. He did look a decent horse at the start of last year.



Cheltenham 3:45
Imperial Commander 4/6
Over The Creek 6/1
Classic Croco 7/1
Nation State 9/1


I can't help but feel today would be a day to go against Imperial Commander. If Twiston-Davies form is about to downturn as usual he could be vulnerable. However, given I dislike the opposition it's not easy.



£500 Challenge
Ofarel Dairey £10 at 2/1+
Glasker Mill £5 at 6/1+


Imperial Commander £10 at 4/6
Classic Croco £5 at 12/1
