Cheltenham Day 3

1.30. It is unthinkable that Mullins/Walsh will not have a winner at this festival. Although after Douvan flopped completely, this may become a reality. I will believe that this will not be the case. YORKHILL was superb last year in the Neptune, and he beat Yanworth who I believe is a better horse at that sort of trip, rather than 2 miles. This is my idea of the best bet for Thursday.

14.10 Near impossible handicap. I will take 2 against the field. Ballymailin & Theo's Charm. No point talking much more on this race quite honestly.

14.50 UN DE SCEAUX There can be no doubt whatsoever this needs to jump better than he has of late. I think this move up in trip will be ok, and within the compass. On a straight match I would expect him to beat Empire of the Dirt. Uxizandre is not as good on paper. This is looking like a strong next best.

15.30 Uknowwhatimeanharry will likely win. I will happily watch him do it

16.10 This looks really hard. I will take 2 against the field. King's Odyssey & Henryville.

I will skip the 16.50. The 17.30 Looks another ridiculously hard race. I ran filters through on previous runnings, I was left with 1 runner, I have absolutely no faith in at all Southfield Royale.

YORKHILL Best Bet
