Dec 8th @ Cheltenham

Cheltenham, gd/st

12.10 Class 2 (0-135) nc

Aces Four, Noted, has speed figure in favour & is the outsider here.
Patsy Hall, Noted
& the fav, Standin Obligation, has everything but a decent speed figure. Now is the acid test & I think he’s up to it. The fav has finished in the first two 9/10 times in this race, if he’s in for a fright today it should come from Aces Four. I'm tempted to suggest a reverse forecast with these two.

12.45 Class 2 (0-125) hc

(-32) Yaboya, Noted
(+8) Glengarra, Noted
(+23) Whereareyounow, Prev, CD
(+16) Glenfolan, BF

There is also the 4yo allowance of Original Fly to consider & on the figures wouldn’t like to recommend anything here.

1.20 Class 1 (0-156) hc

1 (+3) My Will, Noted & as ‘so consistant.’
4 Commercial Flyer, has never won in a field this size.
9 (+15) Nil Desperandum, Noted & sets the standard as solid recent form.
10 (+28) Liberthine, Noted. & trainer’s choice of three, including the highest figures. Stands out on the figures especially with jockeys (7lb), tempted to EW on this one.

1.55 Class 2 (0-144)

(-10) Spot The Difference, Noted, CD
(+16) Never Compromise, Noted, hvy
(+17) Heads On the Ground, Noted, BF, hvy
(+16) Lonesome Day, Noted, hvy

(+10) Ivoire de Beaulieu, Prev, CD

2.30 Class 3 (0-135)

(+12) Daryal, Noted
(+14) Manhatton Boy, Noted. & for this race. More to come from this one & could be the bet of the day.
(+24) Pilca, Noted. For being bttr than a ‘seller.’ At forecast odds of 16/s, what with recent rapid improvement & this being a 16 runner h’cap I suggest a little EW.
