It was another good day for my picks,in the Turners Novices Bob Olinger won. After Galopin Des Champs fell at the last when 12 lengths in front Rachel Blackmore steered the 6/5 shot home with Busselton a long way back in second. Allaho took the Ryanair Chase, the 4/7 favourite jumped well all the way easily beating Janidil by 14 lengths. The only horse who didn't win was Klassical Dream he came home 5th in the Stayers Hurdle. Over at Down Royal my pick Samcro came 3rd.
Three final Grade one’s round off the Cheltenham Festival on Friday with the following being my picks.
1.30: JCB Triumph Hurdle
12: Vauban: Arrives here after a 3 length win in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown. Is the best on form and should turn the tables on Pied Piper who beat him at Punchestown in December.
2.50: Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle
7: Ginto: Has won 4 in a row including 3 from 3 over hurdles and should win here despite having the excellent Hillcrest in the field.
3.30: Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup
2: A Plus Tard: Was a close 2nd in this race last year and made an excellent reappearance at Haydock in November. Galvin was just too strong last time but those placings can be overturned here.
