Cheltenham Thursday 15th March 2007

If the real Our Vic turns up he should just about win The Cheltenham Ryanair Chase. The obvious dangers are Monets Garden, Taranis and Racing Demon as the betting suggests. Hi Cloy could spring a surprise for Ireland, but I am going to stay with Our Vic and hope it gives his owner David Johnson a change of Cheltenham fortune.
Now that the ground has dried out The Cheltenham Ladbroke World Hurdle looks set up for Black Jack Ketchum. The dangers would appear to be Inglis Drever,Mighty Man and Blazing Bailey. The Alan King stable is having a wonderful meeting and perhaps it can continue with Blazing Bailey. He looks a good eachway bet.

For all the runners and riders with the jockey's colours go to Paddy Power and click on "Horse Racing".
