A great days racing lies in store today on touch ground - Cheltenham has gone Heavy, soft in places while the testing conditions at Doncaster have seen Rock on Ruby withdrawn from their exciting Novice Chase. These conditions will certainly not be a hinderance to my Ante-Post tip of Harry Topper for the Argento Chase earlier in the week; only three of today's have won over 3 miles on soft/heavy with my selection being one of them. Lets hope Jason Maguire gets a good round of jumping out of him and gets this blog a 1/1 for Ante-post tipping!
Away from Harry Topper there are a few more fancies for me on Saturday, make a note of these and avoid them down the bookies!
Impressive Kempton Winner Amore Alato goes into a handicap for the first time in the 4.10 at Cheltenham. Trip and ground will be fine for this horse who has a pedigree laden with stamina and he should go very well under the champion jockey.
Shooters Wood can outrun his price of 9/1 in the 1.30 at Doncaster. He will have come on bundles for his reappearance and is not just 4lbs above his last winning mark, a win gained on testing ground. If the dead eight remain in this race then he is a great looking e/w shot.
I didn't think I would be able to do this on a blog but you can back Big Bucks at odds-against today and this opportunity should be grabbed with both hands and maybe your toes as well. Nicholls is a great trainer and won't have left anything to chance with this great horse, he will have him as fit as he can get him for his comeback run. The ground is in favour of Reve De Sivola but last time these two met Big Bucks gave Reve weight and an almighty thrashing. Racing off level weights today if Big Bucks still retains his old sparkle, and I think racing fans as a whole hope he does, then he can make the quotes of 6/4 offered by some firms look like the bet of the century.
There are a good deal of races which look certain to provide a wealth of clues for the Festival in March and I will be looking back at these later but for now enjoy a great days racing!
