Promising Hinterland looks my best chance

I KNOW the Paddy Power at Cheltenham today is the major contest of the weekend, but let’s start with the horse I consider my best ride over the two days, Hinterland in the first, a three-year-old hurdle.

He won by ten lengths at Auteuil in May and we think he’s very exciting. To look at him you would never guess he was only three and is more like a four-year-old with a win in the point-to-point fields under his belt.

He is a fine big, strapping, mature horse, who is working well. I schooled him last Tuesday week and he more than pleased me.
