UK racing

Cheltenham's cross-country racing returned with chaotic scenes as favourite Tommie Beau was pulled up dramatically after taking the wrong route, with  Sweet David  going on to land the Glenfarclas Handicap Chase.Jockey Micheal Nolan was given a 12-day ban for going on the inside of the rail after jumping the third-last in front on the 100-30 favourite. Moments later Sweet David clattered into the side of a rail, which launched it on to the course, but nothing could stop the French raider and he charged six and a half lengths clear.

Numerous options on SATURDAY 

The big one is Cheltenham good racing 

LEAU DU SUD the best 👌 

Well done again to Sir Alex as he had a double at Cheltenham and LEAU DU SUD looks special 👏 

Cheltenham has been great with some strong 💪 hints for Cheltenham 

Today Ace of Spades and Dysart Enos are best 👌 

Some superb racing this weekend from Cheltenham and it was a good time for the punters and a few strong pointers for festival.

Breaking:
sevenbarrows has announced Constitution Hill is lame and is unlikely to run in the Fighting Fifth...

Plenty options and good racing from Punchestown 

Just looking at an ATC short prices but hard to beat 

One Stripe local
Ballyburn over jumps Punchestown 
Pic Dorhy at Ascot 
Boks with handicap to win 

Around 4/1 

Good Punting 👍 

Just a few notes about Punchestown today and Cheltenham festival 

Constitution Hill might not run at festival and is now 4/1 
State Man runs today and is 5/2 for festival 
Mullins has scratched Lossiemouth and was 3/1 for festival, this is for Champion Hurdle. 
BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD is also a decent sort but might battle to beat State Man today.
She is also fav for Mares Hurdle. 

Ballyburn is hot fav today in its first run over the jumps but was exceptional in bumpers and Hurdles and even before he takes to the larger obstacles he is fav for Arkle chase.

Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown have all three runners today and 3-2-1 should give them trifecta. 
Gordon should also win bumper with Jacob's Ladder 

Champion Chase 
Jonbon , Gaelic Warrior and El Fabiola should be the favs 

Gold Cup 
Galopin Des Champs is always my favorite 😍
