Posting tonight so that I can have a lay in,well until the 1st race that 
is.Its gonna take time for me to adjust to the winter early starts :-(

CHELTENHAM

12.55 I`m going to take achance on AUGUSTINE who showed the expected 
improvement lto in her 1st h`cap,there are many others with probably better 
claims but at the price she`s likely to be available is better value imho

1.25 Quite simply ALBERTA RUN disd not like Aintree or the fences and this 
will be more like it.

2.00 the first of my frencies ;-) Won a marathon on the Flat in L`Francais 
and won well on uk debut,looks the type to do well.

2.35 Backed L`ANTARTIQUE already and he was backed to favouritism until 
GRANIT JACK got "in" but have no reason to change my mind,when standing up 
has an impressive record,won so well at rthe Festival and can add this to 
his Cheltenham list.

3.10 BLAZIN BAILEYS The class act and should win imho on seasonal debut.

PUNCHESTOWN

2.25 O`MUIRCHEARTAIGH..go on you say it lol...honest performer who will 
appreciate the step back 4F after pipe-opener.

UTTOXETER

12.30 Frenchie 2. Won his bumper and looks to be the type to do well over 
hurdles flws

2.10 Frenchie 3. Won by 10 Ls in France over 2m 1f flat,and would be no 
surprise to see PLEIN POUVOIR  win here on debut.

WETHERBY

2.50 Improved immensely,and has a great chance to continue here..

3.25 In great form although prone to the odd mistake(or 3) ELAAL will finish 
the day nicely..thank you.

all the above imho

now back to the Rioja *GRIN*
