I have one major fancy today at Cheltenham and that is BENBENS(9/2) in the 4:20. This horse won me a tidy sum LTO (see comment below) and I fancy him to go very close today. Personally I think the handicapper has given this horse a major shout by only raising him 3lb for his last win as on his past form against Fox Appeal (rated 138) and Imperial Circus (won yesterday off 121) I think this horse should be rated at least 122+. Obviously the race today is competitive with 19 runners going to post but I think this horse will continue his improvement and should run a big race at a nice price.
Last time out comment from my P/L thread on GG.COM (http://www.gg.com/forum/topic.php?id=124020&page=3)
“2:05 Newbury - BENBENS (10/1) - 25pts e/w. Now if I'm honest I can't really understand why this horse is such a big price. Its last run was back in December when he went down by a short head to FOX APPEAL in a Class 3 event over 3m 1f at Taunton. He was racing off a mark of 107 that day and was subsequently raised to 114 for today’s race. The winner that day is now rated at 130 and that mark is due to rise again prior to his entry in the Albert Bartlet (25/1). Now a literal reading of that form would suggest that this horse is well ahead of the handicapper and although the Fav (Buck Magic) will be hard to beat, I just think that one may have bounce written all over him “
