Nothing more to follow for Friday, back tomorrow throughout the day for Saturday’s action.
3:00 Cheltenham
LATENIGHTPASS – 3/4 Pt Win @ 7/1 generally
The 11-year-old is back with Tom Ellis after being trained by Dan Skelton this time last year and his current yard is in red-hot form, landing five winners and four seconds from their last 18 Rules runners.
All of Ellis’ winners this season have had the benefit of a run beforehand, so I saw Latenightpass’ return over an inadequate 2m5f in the Grand Sefton as nothing more than a tee up job for this assignment.
He loves this course having finished second and first here from two goes and he has an excellent chance of going in again.
3:35 Cheltenham
AN TAILLIUR– 1/2 Pt E.W @ 45/1 boost Lads, 40/1 generally
Chasing career aborted but has some very strong C & D form over hurdles, especially at the festival. Too big a price not to chance.
