Finally we get a bit of action over the sticks again today with the Cheltenham meeting going ahead with some nice racing, a handful of tricky handicaps and of course the Cross Country race. I realise its not everybody’s cup of tea but I am a fan of the Cross Country races; if you ever get the chance to get into the middle of the track and get up close to the action I would thoroughly recommend it.
I am going to have a small investment on Sizing Australia.
Garde Champetre is obviously a past master of this game and has won this race twice, but at the weights and with the Bolger trained gelding not get any younger, I think the Henry De Bromhead eight-year-old might be able to get the better of his old rival on this occasion.
Be nice for Australia to get a win - have I mentioned the Ashes yet?
Be lucky
UPDATE: If that's not a sign I don't know what is - no sooner do I put a tip up than the race is abandonded! The meeting goes ahead but the Cross Country race is off due the the course being frozen which is a shame as it is a great spectacle and adds something to the meeting. The first fence on the chase course will be omitted due to ground conditions.
