CHELTENHAM DAY THREE THURSDAY 14th March

Well day two was a bit of a comeback and a pleasure to watch two champs in action.
I still had a few flashbacks to “BENIE” but it’s now one day each for the bookies vs punters and two rounds to go.
Must admit day 3 was never going to be my fav day and actually will only be having the one punt.
I am rather disappointed that the PA carry over is not going for the Gold Cup day to reward the CHELTENHAM loyal supporters. ( I am sure we all won the jackpot today)
However here goes for day 3.

JTL:

Lostintranslation small ew.

RERTEMPS:

Samburu Shujaa small ew

RYANAIR:

Footpad, Mondale and Un De Sceaux probably enough exotics.

STAYERS:

I have a small niggle re: Faugheen but make no mistake I make PAISLEY PARK a strong punt.

BROWN CHASE:

Azzerti a small ew

MARES HURDLE :

Epatane should go close.

KIM MUIR :

Measure of my Dream in very open race.

Summary

Have a punt on Paisley Park and possibly double with SIR EREC
Exotics should pay well.
Keep some money for Gold Cup Day
Enjoyed the bumper (nice one)

Good Punting

Day 3


Race 1 - JLT Novices Hurdle - Defi Du Seuil 3/1

Posh Trish in the Mares Novice Hurdle on Thursday.

R 3 Ryan Air Chase: FOOTPAD is a class horse to be ridden by Ruby Walsh for Willie Mullins.
He was entered for other races including the Gold Cup(3m).
Has not won over this distance but Mullins wouldn't run him if he didn't think he could win.

Does anyone knows if Southwell installed flood lights because the last race is 20h30 UK time

WINS ON VINNADICTION

@ Naresh It's the first meeting since the lights were installed.

Was meant to be sooner but those meetings were moved due to a delay in the job being completed.
