Ante Post for National Hunt 2021-2022 Season

Have backed The Big Dog for the Welsh National. It's been a long-term plan, and he's a dour stayer.

With Potektorat running away with the race at Aintree the Paddy Power GC form is red hot. The winner of the Caspiar will come from that race but not sure which one ! Midnight Shadow would have won a lot easier without the horrible jump at the last and was 2nd in the Caspian last year behind a plot horse with the 3rd miles behind so perhaps he's being dismissed a bit easy ?

I can see the argument here. I've put a point on farinet to cover him, but think both MS and coole Cody must have chances again based on that protektorat run

So will lalor on the stiffer track and softer ground

I also like alnadam too, looks like hes been laid out for this by Skelton

Really tough to pick which one ot two to go with

Atm I'm leaning towards midnight shadow and alnadam

Lalor, Zanza and Dosta Phil (who came from miles back to finish 4th) make up the 5 from the PP GC race. The winner will come from those 5!

I keep looking at the race trying to narrow it down but my shortlist keeps getting longer !

Just the 5 from the PP GC I'd say. Which one though is anyones guess. Just a watching race for me. Great race in prospect though.

I'm not disciplined enough to just watch, especially after a beer or two so I'll have have to whittle down my shortlist of seven !

Could have a few pulled out for Saturday due to the drying ground. G/S Good in places now.

Wasn't the course Good all over a couple days ago? if anything it's going the other way. We have 3-4 hours of heavy rain forecast this afternoon too.

Not according to turfax they haven't. Small amount possible on Saturday morning and that's it. Just 15 left after Decs. 2nd and 4th favs pulled. Lalor clear fav now.

The Cheltenham Turfax site. The one the trainers go to for information.

Didn't realise they had weather detail superior to that of the Met Office.
