Ross To Find Cheltenham Gold

Good Morning/Evening racing fans, I trust we all had a good week and are fully rested up for a good weekend of racing. Last week didn't exactly go to plan with our selections with no winners and 3 places, but that is nothing to brag about and certainly nothing to 'Boom' about like many 'tipsters' on Twitter do. Tokyo Brown remains a frustrating one from last week and just came up short after getting second run on the winner. He will be winning next time out but I fear he wont be a huge price, but onto this week's racing.

They go to post today in the feature meeting at Cheltenham as they stage the International Hurdle which will see the exiting, The New One bid to boost his Champion Hurdle Credentials. Also staging National Hunt fixtures today are Doncaster, Lingfield and over in Ireland at Fairyhouse, they race on the Polytrack at Southwell and in the evening Wolverhampton.

As always we have prepared a video for you covering all of the Channel 4 racing tomorrow and some more. joining me this week is @Adamwebb121 and @Calummadell. Go and give them a follow on twitter and you can also follow me if you don't already on @Lukeelder13, you can watch the video by clicking the link below, enjoy!

12:40 Cheltenham - Sam Winner

The first three in the market today re-oppose after filling the first three placings here last month when Le Bec came out victorious. Sam Winner was back in third that day and is the one to take from the race after falling in his only two other starts over fences. On paper them falls look worse than they were as on the whole he jumped well both times but made two mistakes that cost him when looking like winning both times. He is 6 years old now and finally mature enough to make a name for himself over fences this season starting here. Paul Nicholls was in rude form last Saturday when notching up a treble at Sandown and this week should be like no other for the former Champion Trainer. Sam Winner to get his career back on track today. (4/1)

1:15 Cheltenham - Parsnip Pete

Most of these look handicapped to the hilt but Parsnip Pete could still have a little bit to come after bumping into one last time out at Newbury when beating Greywell Boy. The stable had two runners yesterday and both were in the first two with one winner ridden by Paddy Brennan at Bangor. It was a competitive race at Newbury last time out and in all honesty probably a more competitive one albeit off a 5 pound higher mark. Parsnip Pete to make amends for last time out and get a win to his name. (10/1)

2:25 Cheltenham - Double Ross

The main race of the day here and an interesting runner for Nigel Twiston-Davies after taking to fences pretty well this season. He started off when winning at Perth with Attaglance behind him and went on to chase home Balder Succes and The Romford Pele at Chepstow. The run that really caught my eye was last time out at Ascot when second to Niceonefrankie when conceding 4 pounds to him. In all honesty he wouldn't have beaten him off level weights as the winner was a full 13 lengths ahead of the selection. The reason it caught my eye was down to the fact that the Twiston-Davies yard were in a slump at that point and couldn't train a winner for love nor money. Double Ross put in a fantastic performance with all things taken into account and can go one better today. All rain is a big bonus. (11/1)

2:50 Fairyhouse - Rogue Angel

Mouse Morris has a consistent horse in Rogue Angel and he has held fairly high company since going chasing this season. First time out he should have beaten Bonisland but 'fell' when in truth he was all but taken out by the wayward jumping favourite. Next up he was 3rd in a Grade 1 over two and a half miles behind the exciting Sizing Rio but proved no match for him on the day. His most promising run however came last time out which was also his worst placed finish when completing over fences. He was the only one in the field that day who attempted to go with Champagne Fever and matched him for a long way before a mistake set him back. From that point he faced an uphill task and he probably lost a bit of confidence but still managed to beat home the useful Our Vinnie. He will be very dangerous today if he gets his own way, however he will need to brush up on his jumping. Rogue Angel to lose his maiden tag over fences. (No Price Yet)

NAP - Double Ross
Nb - Rogue Angel
