4:00 Cheltenham
ST IRENE– 1/2 Pt EW @ 20/1 Bet365 4 places, 16/1 Skybet 4 places, 20’s & 18’s drifting generally
Needs to step up on form but she was most impressive LTO and 4 year old’s have a tremendous record in this. Her small time trainer is excellent with his National Hunt Flat runners and is not one to over face them so it is very interesting he sends her here for this as he has ONLY EVER run 2 horses in these type of races at Cheltenham, which yielded a very impressive winner & a close 3rd! Both of those were similar types stepping up in class and the Racing Post have her 2nd in on their Topspeed figures so, with stacks of improvement to come no doubt, I thought she could go well at a price with the favourable place terms on offer.
