CHELTENHAM March 16 (soft)
2m novice hurdle Grade 1 (Class 1)
High class winner
APPRECIATE IT (Willie Mullins) is a proper physical specimen and had this won before turning for home. He’s got enough pace to make a Champion Hurdle horse but looks a chaser and will be hard to beat in the Arkle back here next spring.
2m110y four-year-old handicap hurdle (Class 1)
Red-hot contest
HOUX GRIS (Paul Nicholls) was well fancied and looked ready to rumble. He travelled like a good horse but hit the front too soon and did well to make the frame. It’s easy to envisage this fella improving for a summers’ rest and he’s one to keep a close eye on.
CHELTENHAM March 17 (good-soft)
2m5f novice hurdle Grade 1 (Class 1)
Impressive winner
BOB OLINGER (Henry de Bromhead) is an exceptionally handsome individual and quickened sharply to win with plenty up his sleeve. A drop back to 2m shouldn’t pose any problems for this strong-traveller and he’s nailed-on to go right to the top over fences or hurdles.
2m handicap chase (Class 1)
Ultra-competitive event IBLEO (Venetia Williams) has improved physically and might have won but for being set mission impossible by Charlie Deutsch. A return to 2m4f will help and he looks tailormade for the big middle-distance chases back here next winter.
CHETENHAM March 19 (good-soft)
2m1f handicap hurdle (Class 1)
Red-hot contest
