OOOOOHHHH....

Tmrw is the day , the start of a fantastic week....The CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL - A fantastic week of NH racing now stretching over 4 days in glorious techni-colour , with Bankers and dreams waited to be collected upon and Materialise...Big Bucks , Long Run , Sprinter Sacre , Hurricane Fly , Scotsirish , Quevega & Grand Crus are the main players this year in my mind and having those 7 with Montbazon as Value to make the Grande 8 in a mixture of 5/6/7 & 8 folds is the way to go....They may all lose albeit i think its 1.01 that wont happen!!...

Onto today we have 3 meetings to keep us ticking over and today i think we should have a Lite Card for Plumpton....
