Despite a losing day overall yesterday I thoroughly enjoyed the racing and Tea for Two's win was so heart warming. Following a stable does make a winner, especially in a big race, all the sweeter and the sky is the limit for this horse. As for the King George, Vautour ran an ungodly race to go so close despite losing ground by jumping to the left at a lot of his fences and if he were mine I'd be going for gold with him as Cheltenham will suit him much more and he will probably have his ground as well.
Just the one bet today. Sprinter Sacre should win the Desert Orchid but can we say for sure he's back? I kind of want to ask that question at 8/13 and with Sire De Grugy being if anything even less trustworthy I reckon Vibrato Valtat is worth a small play at 8/1. He finished legless in third at Sandown behind SDG but he got too far behind that day and had to use up all his energy reserves just to get on terms before the last couple of fences. Special Tiara doesn't go today so I expect lesser pace and the selection should be more in his comfort zone as they approach the business end of the race. To win he needs the big two to both run below form but given their overall profiles I think that's less than an 8/1 shot.

Vibrato Valtat £30w @ 8/1 (lost)
