RACE COMMENTARY
Π Going: Going: Heavy, Soft in places.With the recent snowy weather, followed by alot of rain, I have no idea who to back at Cheltenham on the heavy going, and don't seem to do so well there anyway.
♠ So, this year at the Festival, my first 2 bets are Slate House (25/1) and Elgin (20/1), put up yesterday by national hunt jumps specialist Geedee.
♠ No Comment (9/1) in the 4.50 is my only poke for day 1.
