Cheltenham 2023 - Early fancies

Heading to Elliotts soon though apparently (thanks again to twitter).

Yes that's true. I just find it strange to see an entry. Maybe he won't run or Gordon Elliott has other plans. Likelier is I'm reading too much into it but thought it's worth mentioning on here.

Has Wayne Harrison made it to FatJockey?

Just a heads up guys but Jazzy Matty has an entry at Auteuil Thursday according to France Galop.

Buried away on page 35 too, it's difficult not to admire.

Inneston is mentioned in two different sections (Gary Moore and French recruits), not too much tbh other than background, form of previous runs and that he's going novice hurdling. Being given time to mature, lofty reputation, one to look forward to etc...

Irish Point mentioned in the French section, with Robcour. Reportedly did some good work at GE's with some smart horses last spring. James Reveley says 'he looks Cheltenham Festival material'.

There's much stronger write ups for various others tbh.

Cheers for that.

Can anyone tell me if Inneston and Irish Point got a mention in OJA? I’ve not gotten around to ordering yet and I’m impatient.

Cheer's Jim , I'd better hope he win's the Schloer then , Only got him for the champ. chase. .

Hopefully he'll waltz home in the Shloer (King has a fab record with recent runners in the race). I suspect they'll give him more than one chance over 2 miles before making any decisions. He looked really at home at Sandown which is a proper speciality course so I fully expect him to go to the Tingle Creek.

There is one horse flagged up in the top 40 of OJA with positive write ups, but not with as much a sense of a specific route is Fact to File who will be in the green and gold silks.

Few abridged quotes:

'rumoured to be one of the Monbegs top young pointers, unveiled him last Feb - at ease he tracked the pacesetters for over two miles and then inside the last 1/2 mile he improved to contest the lead, with a shake of the reins he hit the front approaching the last fence and drove clear for a 6L win recording the fastest time of the day.

Within hours was privately purchased by McManus and Mullins. He looks like a steering job for a bumper and ought to develop into a proper graded standard hurdler / chaser. He could be versatile top wise (possesses high cruising speed) and enjoyed a cushioned surface, and perhaps some degree of juice will be to his advantage. A real candidate for G1 prizes in future'

14/1 TWAR with Hills ( a rather dismal 8/1 comparatively on Sky )

Outside of the obvious Pointers who were well documented and went through the ring, he was top of my list to follow. Don’t have OJA but glad to read positive comments.

I have my own thoughts about him, and what we are likely to see from him, and ultimately where he will end up, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up over hurdles this season, as he's going to be 6 by the time the festival comes around.

I do like the look of him though
