Two to keep in mind going forward post-Cheltenham

There are two horses that got beaten at Cheltenham who are worthy of the closest inspection going forward, namely Alpha Des Obeaux and Valseur Lido.

They are owned by Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud and both finished second in their respective races at the festival.

Regular readers of this column will be aware I am a big fan of Alpha Des Obeaux’s, although at times he has more than tried our patience.
