AP "7/1" ?

VICTOR CHANDLER make Ruby Walsh their hot favourite to lift the top jockey prize at the Paddy Power Open Meeting, which gets under way at Cheltenham on Friday.

Walsh who has a strong book of rides over the weekend, including Paddy Power Gold Cup favourite Silverburn, has been chalked up at 4-5 with Victor Chandler and it's 7-1 bar, a price which includes Tony McCoy and Barry Geraghty.

Other possible mounts for Walsh include Rippling Ring in Sunday's Greatwood Hurdle, who like Silverburn is trained by champion trainer Paul Nicholls.

Timmy Murphy who will no doubt get the pick of the David Pipe runners over the weekend is rated a 14-1 chance, in what looks a very one sided betting heat.

Scotia - I'm absolutely drooling. Last weekend at Wincanton was sublime. Had almost forgotten how lyrical it is to see top jumpers in action.

Cheltenham rocks!

Don't let Magic "hates the jumps" Lips see this!
