We kick off the year with the traditional meeting at Cheltenham, it is now only 10 weeks till the festival so each meeting has it's own clues to the future.
Today it's a 7 race card, the feature events are a pair of Grade 2 contests, the Dipper Novices Chase over 2m 4f and the Relkeel Hurdle also over 2m 4f.
Here are our selections for the card;
12:10 -- 2m 4f 56y Novice Hurdle
CAPTAIN CHAOS (for those of us that remember the original Cannonball Run films). [7th 7/2]
12:45 -- 3m 2f 70y Handicap Chase
DE KERRY MAN [U/R 3 out]
13:20 -- 2m 4f 166y Novices Chase (Grade 2 The Dipper Novices Chase)
SEEYOUATMIDNIGHT [WON 7/2]
Stays well and the heavy ground might find it hard for some of the others here.
13:55 -- 2m 4f 166y Handicap Chase (Grade 3)
JOHNS SPIRIT [6th 11/1]
A decent price (16/1) and a horse that does his best work around here, could well spring a surprise under Josh Moore.
14:30 -- 2m 7f 213y Handicap Hurdle
Pairing ACCORDING TO TREV [12/1] and BATAVIR [Pulled Up] against the field here sure to be fast and furious up front where I'd expect to find these so if they still there 2 out well in with a chance.
15:05 -- 2m 4f 56y Relkeel Hurdle (Grade 2)
Top Notch looks a risky fav given there's doubts about whether he'll stay further so looking at COLE HARDEN [3rd 9/2] to beat off Whisper who has been a bit disappointing.
15:40 -- 1m 5f 209y Open NH Flat Race
Very open bumper to end with so we'll chance two at good prices with CABLE [8th 25/1] and ONE OF US [4th 8/1] against the field.
Will aim to update results later in the day
