Friday 13 November

Three great days of racing start today with the opening day of the Paddy Power Meeting at Cheltenham. Last year 2 runners on the card - Important Business beaten 11 lengths in the 'Boys Race' nad Bobby running a blinder in a very hot Handicap Hurdle on the Sunday. Just 1 runner this year - Il Duce in the big one on Saturday. He was flagged up on Racing UK yesterday as a possible place candidate 'if the Robeson magic can work' so fingers crossed he goes there with an outside chance, 2 placed efforts in the race in the last 2 years suggests he could run well. Good Luck to all.
