Agus A Vic in the Foxhunters for the win and Theatre Knight each way in that.

Starluck had major breathing problems at Cheltenham LTO coming over the last and hopefully will bounce back on a more suitable track.

No great thoughts on the other races at the moment, Denman's very weak - people wanting to back Exotic Dancer against him.

Ive had a good word for Trust Fund in the Foxhunters mate and although Starluck should go close, Nicholls loves Herbidian, the horse used to belong to Aiden O'Brian and is known to have good speed, i think the speed over the flat track could help it into first.

Thanks - Trust Fund is an interesting one, Barber is one of the Nicholls satellite yards ie. TF will probably end up at Ditcheat next year.

Can't see the point of backing the first three of those each-way

Playing it safe, it's better to get money back than none at all, if you backed them to win and they don't, your screwed.

Also many horse have E/W claims in the first 3 race's so if you picked a 8, 9 or 10/1 shot and it finishes 4th your again screwed.

I always feel better when doing Lucky 15's, 31's, Heinz etc to have 1 or 2 relative outsiders and 1 or 2 near favs, your pretty much guaranteed to get money back, plus i won just over a grand at Cheltenham so im confidant in my own methods.

2:00 - mighty man

Theatre Knight has strong course form which is why i went for him. Agus A Vic was a strong fancy of mine but i just feel the price is too short. Also heard positives for Trust Fund so your comments below are of interest. I may leave McEvoy alone with that in mind.

Like Latchford says Nicholls really rates Hebridean so im happy with my bet there, although it looks a good race.

Denman seems very weak doesnt he and Nicholls didnt seem overly upbeat about Big Bucks in the first either when inteviewed on Sky Sports News this morning.

Interesting day i think.

Some interest in the Market Movers.

16:20, I'm So Lucky 20s into 14s, Valanin 16s into 9s.

15:45, Mcevoy 16s into 10s.

15:10, Star Du Mohaisan 9s out to 12s.

14:00, Hill Of Aran 11s out to 14s.

Johnson had a good record with his horses over the fences and Theatre Knight is used to them (though he's now changed to a smaller yard), not certain he stays the trip as well as he should but his form is bang there with some of the lesser lights in this and at 33's he has a good place chance.

Nicholls has a number of associated yards - most notably Chloe Roddick, Richard Barber and Emma Barber in the UK and a lot of Nicholls young prospects start out in Point to Point's in Ireland.
