Sadly we just missed getting into Cheltenham by one place. A real shame as he was absolutely spot on and would have been one of the only genuine pointers in the field as opposed to under rules horses with high ratings from previous runs when trained professionally.  However, on the bright side he can now have a spin in the Men's Open at Whitfield on Sunday, his favourite point to point track, and we can get him primed for the hunter chase evening at Cheltenham in April. We will be going to Cheltenham tomorrow anyway, in a much more relaxed frame of mind and will very much be supporting our English jockeys. So huge good luck to Andrew Barlow, Clare Hart  and Joe Hill and all the other Brits as it would be great to beat the Pesky Irish for a change, they are just too good!
We have just got back from walking Whitfield where the course is in great order. Depending on how much rain we get between now and then we have entered Exclusive Rights, Sea Rock, Endofdiscussion, Ponty Pandy, View the Dance, We Never Give Up, Val D'Auberge and Doctor Kingsley . We will decide on Saturday who is running.
