Win Yankee for tomorrow: Young Rascal 6/4, Chairmanoftheboard 7/4 (NAP), San Donato 5/2 & Magna Grecia 6/4.
Couple I like @ Cheltenham too: Modus 9/2 - Goes incredibly well fresh. Rejaah 25/1 - course win and has a good record going on left handed tracks & Perfect Man 16/1 - Same race as Rejaah, will do split stakes. Dinons 11/10 (NB) - Looks a class act, would be unbeaten over hurdles but for falling when some 8 lengths clear on hurdles debut, has gone from strength to strength since and another victory awaits tomorrow.
For Good Measure in the first at Cheltenham. He'll enjoy the ground and is in this off a feather weight. The poor form of the Hobbs stable last season should result in some very well handicapped horses this season, and I think For Good Measure is one of them.
Strong Glance is highly thought of in the O'Brien stable so I've had a small bet on him in the bumper.
They both go in a Trixie with Magic Wand in next week's Breeders Cup filly and mares turf race. I think she's an absolute certainty.
That can't be right can it? - Even if it was 2 places you'd fancy Benbatl is a better horse than any of the others?
The dead 8 now, Rostropovich at 33/1 could improve for AOB again
I am not going to get carried away, as strictly I have never heard of some of the runners, but that does seem a bet too good to resist?
I'm thinking:
2 pts e/w 15/2 Benbatl
1 pt e/w 33/1 Rostropovic
Well played Kev - Benbatl ran a good race but ran out of steam towards the end. I’d like to see Winx come and race the best we’ve got but I can’t see it happening.

It's hard to pick at her performance today, she was far superior. Benbatl ran a great race though and was the ew bet to nothing that Kev and MrM suggested.

Agree Winx was clearly the superior horse in the race - great EW shout from Kev and MrM.
I had one of those days yesterday, the cash out on all bets was sat at 56 points and I decided to hold my nerve on Sebastapol (which was in all bets) only for it to finish 4th!
Kevin looks at the continued success of Wootton Bassett in producing top-class winners, and how his best days as a leading sire could still be ahead of him.

Unlucky OP - I thought he struggled at his hurdles yesterday and never really got into a rhythm. The winner looked a really nice horse and I'll be following him closely, especially if he is stepped up in trip.
She was impressive today and looked comfortable at every stage of the race. We'll probably never know just how good she is but, forgetting the level of opposition, it is some training performance to get her to win 28 straight races.

That's the one thing I will give my Aussie friends. Much the same achievement as getting Best Mate to Cheltenham in top condition 3 years in a row but it doesn't put Best Mate in the same league as Kauto or Burrough Hill Lad.
I don't think that Winx would beat Cracksman even with the fillies allowance.
I'm not a great reader of flat form but I can't see how Phoenix of Spain can be backed at 5/1, and 10/11 to finish in first 3, in the big race at Donny today.
I'm not sure I've seen a better performance than the one Too Darn Hot put in at Newmarket 3 weeks back and PoS got to within 1.5l of that one at Donny 2 weeks prior to that.
Has to be the standout piece of form in the race ?
