Promising Village looks poised to follow up at Cheltenham

I’ll ride far more horses on the gallops this weekend than I will on the track, as I have just one mount, which comes today at Punchestown aboard Myles Ahead, trained by my father. 

He didn’t get home over today’s trip, two miles six, on his last start, but that was because he was far too free in first-time blinkers.

The headgear has been taken off him and, with only nine runners in the race, it’s almost each-way-punting heaven. And that’s what he is – an each-way bet. He’ll be an each-way price, and I’ll be disappointed if he’s not in the first three.
