Interesting scenario going on here today:
A friend of mine went to Cheltenham last week and came back saying he got talking to an Irish trainer who gave him a couple of horses to look out for next time – one of them, GOOD FELLA (nice place record but has somthing to prove regards, trip, ground & course) 20/s generally, runs here….
But it just so happens that I am building a little band of horses from Ireland that look worth following and was about to start this thread anyway as just about half of them are due to run in this very same race. The last time TREACLE ran the first five made my notebook, the fourth, OPERATION HOUDINI, has won twice since & the 3rd, PADDY PUB, followed up too, they have both been raised in the weights & it might pay to stick with TREACLE but is unproven on this sort of ground at this trip & has never raced here before & while scanning the entries I came across another interesting contender who qualifies on my little h’cap process and is returning here to his optimum conditions and is also Napped by the Racing Post’s Spotlight, Ladbroke’s are 25’s while I am limited to Betfair at present & had to settle for 18.5 but really, BELLA MANA MOU looks to me the better EW option over my buds tip above?
