With 5 days to go to Cheltenham, the anticipation continues to rise ahead of the Olympics of National Hunt Racing. I attended the Westmanstown preview night in Dublin on Wednesday, and spoke to top jockeys Ruby Walsh and Bryan Cooper about the Festival. You will hear more from them next week, but for a teaser, here are Ruby and Bryan's NAP (Banker) and Each Way selections for the week...
Annie Power is generally the 7 to 4 on hot favourite for the Mares Hurdle, which is on Tuesday. Abbyssial is a 40 to 1 outsider for the World Hurdle, the feature race next Thursday.
Very Wood is currently a 5 to 1 chance for the 4 mile National Hunt next Tuesday. Stone Hard is available at 16 to 1 for the Champion Bumper next Wednesday.
