Cheltenham Tips

He was good. 4/5 shots are no fun! He was impressive. It's hard to know what was behind, but Smiler is probably 110-rated. He jumped well and hopefully now he'll go for the Galway Hurdle. He was a bit unlucky at Cheltenham where he pulled too hard and Ballinrobe probably came too soon. He's a delicate horse who doesn't take a lot of racing unlike Lindenhurst who is a tank. You'll probably not see Orgilgo Bay until Galway. He's a brilliant jumper and he'll be able to lay up with them in Galway. He'll have to go up, but probably will after winning by that distance. Hopefully he'll not go up too much!
