Tuesday 13 March

Cheltenham ~ tuesday

First day of the festival has just the two live bet situations for Dutching today, from the five potential non-handicap races. (Good luck with the Cheltenham Handicaps!!)

Both the Champions Hurdle 15;30 and the OLBG Mares Hurdle 16;10 have strong favs. in Henderson's Buveur D'air and later Apple's Jade. Grade 1 racing to savour at last, neither fav. is a well clear proposition off most speed figures!

Plenty of factors in play with the first two days on the Old course and potential heavy going.

I will just be trying to get through day~1 without mishap and take the available Dutch Frames of 5 runners with Buveur D'Air and the tighter 3 runner Frame with Apple's Jade.

The Supreme Novice Hurdle doesn't qualify and Footpad's  market in the Arkle novice chase  14;10 is currently too tight although it may imrove towards the off - I would be taking the Target bet on Footpad if the market does ease?
