    Whats the latest Bob?

    See his drifted from 7/1 to 12/1 this morning on Bet365.

    He's now being backed in - 8/1 with Laddies, 17/2 with Betfair.

    He has an each-way chance, no more. I wouldn't recommend too much!

    Latest from trainer - he's sharpened up from last race and will be bang on! It's a hotter race than Wetherby but still solid each-way. There are no negatives to report.

    He clearly doesn't get anywhere near 2 miles - which is a bit of a handicap for a NH horse!

    Greatrex has said that he's still off a good flat mark so we might be able to fiddle an AW handicap.

    You would think that on his flat form, 2 miles over hurdles shouldn't be a problem. Looks like he needs to be taught to settle and to race less prominently.

    You might be right. This from Warren:

    Bob's Boy was running really well until his wind caught him out 3 out, Andrew looked after him after that point. He seemed fine after the race, my view would be to give him one more run so he gets a handicap mark which will then give us more options down the line. Andrew thought better ground and even a tongue tie could help him, but he still felt the horse ran a solid race and will win his fair share of races.

    Definitely makes sense to get the handicap mark.

    Annie Power will miss Cheltenham - leg injury.

    Melon doubly entered this week - tomorrow and Sunday. Searching for the best ground but will definitely run in one of them.

    Well, there goes my acca on her (4s for the Champ Hurdle), Vroum Vroum Mag (10/1 Ryanair), TC (7/1 GC) and Altior (5/2 Arkle). 2 quid would've returned 3 grand!

    Not as much of a loss as my mate though, who probably had her in about 40% of his accas...

    Great racing today at Cheltenham and Doncaster - some short prices but all look nailed on (famous last words).

    Melon definitely goes at Leopardstown tomorrow. Best price now for the Supreme is 10/1 but will be favourite after winning with ease tomorrow! If you are going to back it for Cheltenham then do so before 1.30 tomorrow!

    Moon Racer's the one. Mainly cos Moon is my mum's name, and my friend raved about him for ages when he was 16/1, and is now 6/1, and I had a fiver at 16/1 so... Yeah.

    And that is where the novice can be found out. Jumping under pressure causes mistakes and takes it out of the horse.

    So sad for Many Clouds. Won the race and looked really good and then that happened right after
