All the 2nds were over 6f, but the only win came last time out at 5f, which is todays distance. Has gone up 6lbs for that win, but the jockey Adam Carter claims 5lbs. My only worry would be the stall draw, but seeing as he is stall 12 today and his last win came from stall 13, i cannot be too concerned. All in all i think this horse has a great chance

Ballywatt is todays NAP *****3:00 Leopardstown - HIDDEN CYCLONE 9/1 e/w***** I think this horse has a great chance in the Gold Cup, he is against 2 other amazing horses Felemnestar and Sir Des Champs, but i think this horse is just as good, and for those odds worth a e/w 12:00 Lingfield - Bold Marc 3/1 2:40 Leicester - Ballywatt 9/4 5:20 Wolves - Mezzotint 5/2 6:50 Wolves - Alazan 4/1 Patent £2 x 7 = £14 12:30 Lingfield - Consign 15/8 2:00 Lingfield - Norweigian Reward 6/4 3:00 Lingfield - Bowstar 6/4 £25.12 F/C - £5 x2 = £10 5:50 Wolves - Day Of Destiny 4/1                          Reaction 10/1 (i also like him for a e/w bet)£17.50 single e/w £84 stake - £42.62 returns = -£41.38 Todays Nap 2:40 Leicester - Ballywatt 9/4 Going up 6lb tomorrow for his 2nd at Hereford last week, so Kin Baily is making the most of it before his rise.So connections are quite hopeful.

WELSH NATIONAL NOW MOVED TO THE 5TH OF JANUARY 2013 1.    Tidal Bay 12/1 – Horse that comes here in great form even though he is 11 now. Goes very well on soft and has won over 3m 6f on soft. Not really tested on heavy, but that shouldn’t pose a problem. Paul Nicholls and Ruby Walsh have been in great form recently too, which is an added bonus. He is shortlisted, but is top weight, so that could be an issue. 2.  Hold On Julio 20/1 – I personally am going to rule him out. Although his trainer thinks very highly of him. In his last race, his jumping was patchy and ultimately he unseated Robert Thornton. After that race his trainer said he now needs a confidence boost and they looked at putting him back over hurdles.   Also ground is not certain either. 3.  Quartz De Thaix 14/1 – Ground should not be a worry, will be the furthest he has gone and on heavy is a big ask, but I cannot see any reason why he cannot be there at the end. Venetia Williams horses have been in

Paul Nicholls rates this horse highly, and in fact thinks he is massively overpriced at 10/1. Had breathing operation during the summer . Won 2 out of 2 on comeback and they were races that didnt really suit him. Today he will get a strong gallop, although this is a much hotte

With no Kauto Star this year, the race is as open as ever, and it promises to be a good one. Will Kauto Stone jump into his half-brothers shoes? Or will Long Run reclaim the title he once won in 2010? Here is my guide to the runners in the race and my thoughts on their chances. 1.   Captain Chris 14/1 – 3 rd in this race last year behind Kauto Star. However this year I would be concerned about the ground, although last time out he won a Grade 2 in heavy ground, which was over 2m 3f and although the official going is soft, by the 26 th , and lots of rain forecast, expect   the ground to be heavy. And Captain Chris would be expected to get another 5f and I just think it might be a big ask against some of these horses. However if the ground dries out, then I would certainly give him a chance at a place at least. 2.  Champion Court 33/1 – As with Captain Chris I would worry about the ground over 3 miles. However he is consistent, and will not go down without a fight,
