Farringdon: Consider, if you will, the horse.

CHELTENHAM once again takes centre stage with the feature betting race being the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at 1.55. I am going to go out on a limb here and nap the improving CLONDAW CASTLE.

Trained by Tom George, I think that this son of Oscar has been crying out for a step up to an extended two-and-a-half miles and that should enable him to make the step forward to be right in the mix here at around the 14/1 shot.

Ever since I saw the selection run over an extended two miles at Ludlow at the beginning of the year I have thought he needed a stiffer test of stamina.
