Matt Cooper’s Blog - Weston Lodge (advised 11/4) was a winning NAP

Weston Lodge (advised 11/4) was a winning NAP for the blog yesterday just doing enough to land a gamble in Wetherby’s concluding novices hurdle. On to today, Cheltenham’s third and final day of the Open meeting is the pick of the day’s meetings. The card kicks off a good quality Grade 2 novices chase where Supreme Novices Al Ferof makes his chasing debut. A race I am particularly looking forward to is the 2m5f Neptune Investment Management hurdle at 3.30. Impressive Persian War winner Fingal Bay bids to keep his unbeaten record intact as he takes on 9 rivals in the Grade 2 contest. Philip Hobbs’s novice impressed me with his fluent hurdling when running out an easy winner on his debut at Chepstow. He has to potential to reach the top in this division and certainly warrants respect in this afternoon’s race. But at the current prices he doesn’t make too much appeal as a betting proposition. Another easy Chepstow winner African Broadway was priced up 6/1 on the first show yesterday evening but that price quickly went. David Pipe’s shock Newbury winner made the perfect transition to hurdles when running out a very easy winner of a Chepstow novice hurdle last month. The 5yo looks a future chaser but should be able to develop into a smart hurdler beforehand. With plenty of unexposed horses it the race it should prove to be an informative contest.   Any from Cheltenham Big Zeb makes his seasonal reappearance at Navan minus Barry Geraghty (could be significant he takes the ride on A Media Luz in the Greatwood instead). The 10yo has plenty in hand on official figures and should have too much for Noble Prince despite his trainer’s concerns regards the going. Today’s NAP is Oscars Business who makes her debut in the bumper at Limerick. Trained by the inform Robert Tyner the 7yo has some useful point form to her name and a repeat of that should be more than good enough to take this weak looking contest.     Selections (1-5*) L 4.05 – Oscars Business ***WIN at 3/1+
