Cheltenham
Thu 12th Mar

Formscan  - Paul Nicholls won this with Caldwell Potter 12 months ago and the Ditcheat maestro saddles an interesting runner in the shape of Regent's Stroll. The form of his second here on New Year's Day has been franked, although there has to be a worry that the atmosphere of the Festival may just get to him, especially given how keen he has been at times. Meetmebythesea will appreciate a sounder surface after qualifying when not sighted in the Game Spirit and the step up in trip is another angle for improvement, while the same owner's Stencil needs to prove his stamina after impressing at Chepstow. Jordans Cross won over C&D on Trials Day in a race that has a terrific record of throwing up Festival winners, but a chance is taken with OL MAN DINGLE. The seven-year-old scored on his first two chase starts at Galway and Cork before finding the ground too soft in the Drinmore. Freshened up since, the application of cheekpieces is another potential source of improvement and he may well prove to be overpriced.

Quotes on Gold Dancer (FR)

Of my runners, I thought Westport Cove would win but Gold Dancer is by Doctor Dino, who is a horse we like, and Sean gave him a lovely cute ride. He left Paul (Townend) do all the donkey work, had one crack at him and it all worked out. Westport Cove basically races flat-out so you just try to get a breather into him and while Paul thought he had enough breathers got, Gold Dancer is just improving. There is probably more improvement in him than the other horses we ran in the race. Today was the first time he showed me on the racecourse what we thought and think of him at home. We'll go down the novice chase route with him now at the big festivals and hopefully he is good enough to go on to the Drinmore Chase in December.

Quotes on Slade Steel (IRE)

I’m delighted with him, Rachael gave him a super ride and fair play to the Robcour team – they said Ballyburn has beaten us twice and we need to just avoid him, so that’s what we did and it’s worked out really well for us,. It’s lovely to see young horses like him coming through, we’re very fortunate the support we get from everyone and thankfully we get the odd result. Cheltenham is an amazing, special place. We’ve had a lot of luck here and it’s a cliche, but it’s our Olympics and we’re lucky to be able to take part. You definitely breathe a sigh of relief (after having a winner). We’ve never won the Supreme before so I don’t know this feeling, but it’s good. When you’ve had one winner you want two, but we’re delighted to get one. He was one of our big hopes coming here and it’s great for the team.

Quotes on Ol Man Dingle (IRE)

we had really been looking forward to today and that is my first Graded win since 2011. It is a long time since we’ve had a horse like this and we’ve had a few false dawns, so it is brilliant to have one like him. I put the tongue-tie back on Ol Man Dingle today — he doesn’t need it but I wasn’t taking any chances. Ricky gave him a lovely ride, the horse has brilliant scope but can be a little brave. During his career prep, we thought an awful lot of him so went for a bumper, but he made a noise and choked. He had never given us that indication beforehand so he had a wind operation but it took him a run or two to get his confidence. He had a bad virus at the end of last season, my yard went down with something around April and May when we had few runners and he has done well to come back from it.

Quotes on Wingmen (IRE)

It was a good performance, I thought, because he went a little bit right the whole way,. Jack said when he let him on a bit he was better, and he was half-idling in the home straight. He’s a smart horse, so we’ll see where we go. Maybe he will go the other way around. He’s a big chasing horse, he’s a horse for next year really. He has (a fair engine) and they pulled well clear of the third. He (Kennedy) said he won snug.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Intense Approach (GB)

It has been painful! Going from his bumper wins and the way he works at home, it has been a calamity. He is a work-in-progress regarding his jumping. He has been very slow to learn and Ger Fox schooled him at the weekend and Ger couldn't believe how he hadn't got the hang of it. When he left him alone at a hurdle, he still needs a lot of help. It is a mental thing with him and hopefully he is switched on now. I told Alex to be very definite with what he wanted him to do at each hurdle - either to go short or to go long. It will come and that might boost his confidence. He has the engine there if he put it all together that he could turn into a really nice horse, but it is great to get that over with.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Where's My Jet (IRE)

He didn't get home in Galway but went to the start very fresh and we thought he was a much better horse than that. He won nicely in Killarney though and today beat Willie's other horse who is no slouch. I was happy that I was able to get a few lengths away from the others and his jumping was making ground, rather than me using petrol to do it. That is always a help when it comes to the business end and it was a good performance.

Quotes on Dr Eggman (FR)

The second is probably very good and it was a winter class of bumper, I'd say. I think he was a bit dead in himself, he usually takes more of a tug which is why I dropped him in a bit, and he didn't really pick it up for me. The ground tonight is beautiful but he's a Saint Des Saints and I think he probably wants soft ground.
