Hi all,

I do not currently have a lot of time to input all the reasons why I feel that Mall Dini will be a good thing come March. However, I keep going over his latest run and note how well he seemed to be finishing off the latter part of that contest, and everything screams to me that it was a simple prep run. Second in the Kim Muir last year, I fully expect him to be on target to go one better this time around, and although I’m still tentative in terms of placing a wager, when the race is confirmed that he will be taking part in, I’m looking to potentially make him my NAP of the festival.

Interested to hear what you guys think on him?

Regards
David

Hi guys,

Really interesting to read your thoughts in regards to the festival. I will likely be doing a bit more analysis and digging a bit deeper in the next couple of weeks or so, and will try and ensure to post on here when I do.

There are three horses who I have entered into my Cheltenham bets tracker which match or are similar to some of your own shortlist horses, those being;

Lalor – Read same article as Rob, and also on my opinion of how the horse jumped at Cheltenham in the Arkle Trial, was a thing of beauty that day especially at the last fence and pretty much stuck in my mind ever since.

Commander Of Fleet – Was super impressed with this horse at Leopardstown, and thought he battled gamely to get his head in front near the finish. Just the type to appreciate the traits of Cheltenham, and in all honesty he’s the sort of horse who I’d want in a finish up the hill.

Santa Rossa – Another who impressed me with her attitude at Leopardstown, and again is one who I think like your good selves will more than appreciate the stiff finish at Cheltenham. Whether or not I back her on the day is another question entirely, but I’ve been known to back the winner of this race a few times over the years, and as you have highlighted, her price is more than a tempting proposition.

I have others in mind, including my long time fancy since March 18 in the shape of Presenting Percy for the Gold Cup, and also I have noted The Storyteller as a potential bet in the Coral Cup.

All in all, I’m not looking to get too heavily involved this year, as the adrenaline can sometimes get the better of me whereby I end up overthinking and worse still over betting with so much top class action at the fore. I’m going to try my best to be a little more selective this year, but I guess it remains to be seen whether I can remain in that mindset when the time comes.

Regards
David
