Jump racing ~ Friday 9th December

12:35 Cheltenham: Aathar 1pt win 25/1 Ladbrokes Aathar looks worth a speculative point at this point. In the past he has run well over course and distance, in particular when second off this mark in January 2010. Aathar has now joined David Arbuthnot and with claimer Ross Wishart taking off a very handy ten pounds a surprise could just be possible. 2:20 Cheltenham: Hennessy 1pt win 33/1 William Hill It may be worth taking another flyer here on the basis that Hennessy takes to this course. If he did then he is well handicapped on his Bet365 Gold Cup winning form. Hennessy joined Ferdy Murphy and ran a fair fifth first time out at Kelso, however his last two runs appear to be write offs. However, the first of those was a Grade 3 chase and the second was on soft where he led for a long way before tying up on the soft. This firmer going on the cross country course should be a lot more suitable today and he will stay this marathon trip. Out of the handicap here, there is outside chance of a big run.

Re: Jump racing ~ Friday 9th December Cheltenham 2.20 Scotsirish 3pt EW - 5/2 Coral Sky Looks like the money are already coming for this one. Class above all of these and if he stays the trip, he might be too good for them. Will love the ground and the way these races are usually run, I think he will outclass them turning for home. Patrick Mullins on is a significant booking, because he could've ridden Uncle Junior too.
