Far West can get me off to a flier

Today's meeting at Chepstow is what I consider to be the start of the proper national hunt season and Paul Nicholls likes to make a statement on the first day so I'm really looking forward to my six mounts.

There was a time - when I first started going to England for Paul - you could bank on the one in the novice chase at this meeting but other trainers have started to target this race now, which I'm not too happy about.

Last year Silviniaco Conti ran into Cue Card and Micheal Flips, and this year Poungach runs into Tiger O'Toole and, even more so, Fingal Bay.
