Unexpected Party – 2.20 Cheltenham
Unexpected Party ran on Monday but there are only four runners here in the Shloer Chase. It’s a tight little race but with Jonbon in the mix it won’t be easy. All of the runners have nice form and we are the lowest rated so we are not expecting fireworks; we will just go there and give it our best shot.

Valgrand – 3.30 Cheltenham
He is in great form and we are very happy with him. His form from his last win will come under scrutiny in this and he was was visually impressive. I wasn’t surprised he won, I was more surprised at how well he won. We want to go and see that again. He takes on a hot fancy here in the form of Potters Charm and there is a lot of hype surrounding him from the Twiston-Davies stable, but we are very happy with our horse.
