MOST people probably think the last week has been all about the likes of Master Minded and Denman, but I disagree.

NEWBURY this afternoon is all about two horses, Master Minded and Denman.

I have decided to ride Kauto Star, in preference to Denman, in next month’s Cheltenham Gold Cup.

I RIDE in all seven races at Cheltenham this afternoon and will certainly be disappointed if returning to Ireland tonight without a winner.

THE countdown to Cheltenham has really started now and it promises to be a revealing weekend, between Ascot and Haydock this afternoon and the two days at Leopardstown.

FOLLOWING a break of some two weeks, it will be smashing to get back into the swing of things at Kempton this afternoon.

THERE’S a strong possibility this could well develop into a hugely frustrating weekend.

INSTEAD of teaming up with the likes of Big Buck’s, Pepe Simo and Big Fella Thanks at Ascot today, I will be spending the afternoon at home.

THE last three Saturdays have been terrific, with Kauto Star, Denman and Twist Magic, and the plan at Cheltenham today is to keep the run going.
