I HAVE a great chance aboard Pasco in a valuable two and a half mile handicap chase at Newbury this afternoon.

I haven’t been eating a whole lot over the past day or two, with Fistral Beach set to carry just 10-0 in the Racing Post Chase at Kempton this afternoon.

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.
