Soldier Of Love deserves his chance after a productive summer but does not look quite good enough.Ģ.40 Doncaster Following a horse over a cliff is something to worry about with Jonah Jones, who is so often “slowly away” and “nearest finish”. Since then he’s had three confidence-boosting wins against small fields and we may see a more assertive performance this time. He was a maiden over fences when fancied for the novice handicap here in March, finding just one too good. Midnight River might have the legs of him, having turned over an odds-on favourite on his recent hurdles debut, the pair clear of a big field.Ģ.25 Cheltenham Having twice run with credit at the Festival, Galvin has a big chance of getting his first win at the track in this novice chase. Still, it may not be what Ask For Glory wants, the Paul Nicholls runner in this novice hurdle having done all his racing on genuine soft ground. Odds of 5-1 are fair.ġ.50 Cheltenham A GoingStick reading of 6.1 suggests the ground will ride a bit softer than usual for this fixture, recent rain having fallen on watered ground. Scardura managed to unseat at the first when fancied at Perth next time but made amends at Newton Abbot in a style that suggested there would be plenty more to come.
