Thank you very much to those clients who purchased the One Jump Ahead Cheltenham Festival Update over the weekend - the response has been fantastic and very much appreciated. Just a reminder that the Update will be emailed to clients on Sunday (8th March) pm. If you haven't already ordered, please head to the Publications section of the site.
As stated, the Cheltenham Update will include a report from my trip to Paul Nicholls' yard over the weekend. The fourteen times champion trainer was in excellent form and very much looking forward to the Festival. Having paraded a selection of his team for Prestbury Park, which included No Drama This End, Regent's Stroll and Tutti Quanti, plus some interesting contenders for the handicaps, we had a Festival preview in the Ditcheat Village Hall. I was on the panel along with Paul, Anthony Bromley and former bookmaker Andy Smith. There were some interesting views and snippets of information which I will relay in the Update. They included a 'live outsider' for the Triumph Hurdle who is very highly regarded. Paul also informed me of a recent arrival who will be running in a bumper in the coming weeks.
It is a busy week ahead with the Sky Bet Cheltenham Preview at Headingley in Leeds on Tuesday evening, Haydock Park on Thursday for Racing TV and another couple of interviews for Ahead On The Flat - as well as continuing to write the Festival Update. I will therefore be back to update the Diary with any news over the coming days.
