Queen Mother Champion Chase

Nice winner for us with Jankovic not retiring but being thoroughly outplayed by Hampton in two straight sets tonight. Commentators now referring to the match as the first major upset of the tourney thanks in part to Janko's jet lag. Apparently the Serb described herself as being "lost in space" during the match.

On to Cheltenham again. I'd been looking to back something in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Lovely each-way contest with just 10 declared runners and Sizing Europe set to go off around even money. Latter will probably win again - as it did last year when we were on @ 14/1. But have to look for the value elsewhere of course because of the price. We may even see the field down to eight with one or two (including Somersby) running elsewhere.

News is coming through from Ireland that Noel Meade is saying Realt Dubh is "absolutely flying" and is almost certain to run in the QMCC.

This one is likely to shorten up a bit in the morning so I have had:

3 pts each-way Realt Dubh @ 25/1 for QMCC with Totesport (1/4 odd 1,2,3) NRNB

Six points invested.
