A disappointing return of just 3.42 points for 3.63 staked means a slight loss for the Salmon on day one.
Day two looks deceptively tricky and as such probably a day to punt with caution. The first race is a 4 mile lottery which we won't get involved with. The highlight of the day at 3:20 is The Queen Mother Champion Chase. My selection for this race is not one of the big two heading the market, but Sizing Europe. Last years Arkle winner has been steady rather than stunning since, but will carry my colours for one simple reason. The last TWELVE Arkle winners who returned the following season to compete in this race ALL finished in the first 3, five of which were winners. No further explanation required, as, with his price thrice that of Big Zeb or Master Minded he is the race value surely.
In the previous two races (The Neptune and The RSA Chase) I'm afraid I'm with both favourites, so we'll just have our loose change as a 0.21 point each way double on So Young and Time For Rupert, to keep us interested.
Sizing Europe (3:20 Cheltenham) 1 point e/way [9-1 Sportingbet 1/4 odds 1,2,3]
So Young & Time For Rupert ( 2:05 & 2:40 Cheltenham)
0.21 e/way double [3-1 & 5-2 Totesport both 1/4 odds 1,2,3]
