A very competitive renewal and another chance to pick up a decent priced winner, a low weight wand aged between 5 and 7 seems to be the key so with that in mind my shortlist is WHO'S MY JOCKEY, WEATHER FRONT and DEBESTYMAN.

How did we do?

All three mentioned ran in the race

Keith's Tip on the day:

DEBESTYMAN 14:50 Cheltenham 7/1 each way – Good performances when unseating at Kempton in January and here last time, that level of form will see him involved again. Wouldn't want too much rain but won on soft as a novice.

Sadly that unwanted rain just kept coming DEBESTYMAN did his best in the conditions but could only manage 7th place. Weather dron faired a little better and was 5th and WHO'S MY JOCKEY was 9th of the 10 that ran.
