A mixed bag of results today with only one winner out of our four selections.Spirit D’Armour put some early cash into our betting bank winning at 13/2.We had picked Quousko de l’Isop  earlier in the  day at Fontwell  but held our betting hand  in that race when it turned out to be a seven horse field.Had we been aware of that before publishing,we would not have made a selection in that race This blog does not, or will not ,knowingly select horses in fields of 7 horses or less neither would we be tipping horses at very short odds.Nevertheless, at the end of the day we did tip Quousko whats his name and he faded into the unplaced 3rd spot after showing up well for 2mls 1fur  of the 2ms/2fur trip. He’ll win over shorter  on better ground.We did have a bet on our third selection ,Spanish Cruise ,and this one was cruising along nicely for the majority of the  race until he did an Italian Cruise  and floundered on the rocks, ending up in 4th spot.He will also soon make amends.Finally we had  a  pretty hefty bet on Benny Be Good who was held up in last place for most of the race   only to finish in 4th spot.We could have done with the place but we’ll be depending on Benny to be good  in his next start when hopefully, losses could be recouped.All in all the 13/2 winner saved the day for us so we are not disheartened in any way.Turning our attention to today’ s card  ,it is a day of really top class racing action and we are hoping that our selections all  hit the board.Going straight into  the action, our first selection runs in the 1.30 at Cheltenham and he is one  that was tipped by us to win his race last Saturday only to come to grief when still in with a chance .ROYALE’S CHARTER was heavily backed  at Ascot  ending up as the 3/1 fav and was in 9th position when his rider parted company with him after a bad blunder.He is been turned back out very quickly so it seems that connections are confident in his chances  in what promises to be a very hot race.This horse is trained by Nick Williams and readers would recall that last Saturday in my post ,I tipped Royale’s Charter and three other Horses trained by Mr Williams.[I  also in that post tipped  Seek the Fair Land ,winner at16/1]The four Nick Williams horses tipped all failed to hit the board last Saturday but it’s going to be a different story today.DIAMOND HARRY is another runner from this yard  and this high class chaser 4th to Kauto Star and Long Run in the Betfair Chase at Haydock after an absence of 357 days will take all the beating in the Argento Chase [2.35 Cheltenham].He is a proven winner on this course and has won over the distance.He is a nap selection.In the following race ,the 3.10  also at Cheltenham look no further than the No 3 horse ,KNIGHT PASS.This one was a recent impressive winner  at Kempton Park over today’s trip.Oppose this one at your peril.Over in the 1.15 at Doncaster we fancy  No 8, JACKIE SOLITAIRE.This one finished behind  Baby Mix at Cheltenham and prefers this race rather than to reoppose Baby Mix at Cheltenham.It will not be a walkover but we expect Jackie Solitaire to come out on top.CORKAGE [tipped by us when scoring the first of his two victories] is a horse we like and  we expect him to score the treble. HE runs in the 2.20 at Doncaster .We tipped PRET A THOU together with Hey big Spender a couple weeks ago .Hey Big Spender won at 14/1 while Pret A Thou was scratched.He runs in the 2.40 at Uttoxeter  and must be in with a big chance.He has got conditions in his favor on his return over Hurdles.BET: 1.15 DONCASTER ,No8 :JACKIE SOLITAIRE …BET:1.30 CHELTENHAM,..No12, ROYALES CHARTER …BET 2.35 CHELTENHAM,No1:DIAMOND HARRY…..BET 2.40UTTOXETER ,No1 :PRET A THOU…BET 3.10 CHELTENHAM,No3 KNIGHT PASS…BET 2.20 DONCASTER,No 3 :CORKAGE.
