Well, TIME FOR RUPERT came through Cheltenham yesterday with flying colours. When you watch the replay, you really wonder at why we got so nervous and worried, as 'RUPERT' and Will Kennedy put in a faultless round together. They know each other so well and look to have great faith in their partnership. What i admire is 'RUPERT's' determination and willingness to eye up and then attack that Cheltenham hill.
SCAMPI BOY's run was disappointing and puzzling, i have no answers yet but have a sneaking feeling that he is not suited by the track and should run next on a flat track. DANVILLA was unlucky as her effort was left a bit late, but she did also hang right a little and may be better suited by a return to Kempton.
EDGBRIAR has a mountain to climb this afternoon in The Paddy Power Chase. He has improved from his winning start at Cheltenham last month and with a 8lbs rise in the weights, he have to have done and more. I hope the ground has not softened too much, but feel that he'll run a big race, but he could do that and still finish fifth today!
