CHELTENHAM WED
1.30 -- ALLEE GARDE taken to give Ireland another winner, with Harry the Viking a big danger on this season's form to date.
2.05 -- SIMONSIG can be the one to give Nicky Henderson his 41st festival winner. The McCoy/McManus combination can take a place with the lightly raced NELSON'S BRIDGE
2.40 -- The RSA Chase should see the progressive GRAND CRUS NAP now that he's been re-routed after being considered for the Gold Cup. Was busy giving Big Bucks plenty to think about over hurdles here last year and expected to be much better over fences.
3.20 -- QUEEN MUM CHASE next and while SIZING EUROPE is the horse to beat at 5/6 is no value here, we're on FINIAN'S RAINBOW.
4.00 -- David Pipe time now for the CORAL CUP, two lurking down the bottom of the weights POOLE MASTER 12/1 and BALGARRY 8/1 WIN /PLACE Bets on these two.
4.40 -- Vendor is the talking horse here from Alan King's stable, comfortable winner since coming over from France is trying this race instead of the Triumph Hurdle. Preference is for another French bred and that's KAZLIAN from David Pipe. The Irish trained Sportsmaster and Gorgeous Sixty look the best of the rest with McCoy and Walsh their respective jockeys.
5.15 -- And the traditional closer on the Wednesday is the Championship Bumper. Normally the preserve of the Irish particularly Willie Mullins who relies on the pair CHAMPAGNE FEVER and PIQUE SOUS this year.
The fav NEW YEARS EVE is way too short a price for his achievements so far, so we'll try two longer priced ones against the field...CIRCULAR QUAY (33/1) & VIRGINIA ASH (33/1).
ENJOY YOURSELVES.
