Hello and welcome to the Cheltenham Preview Morning with Colossus.

I'm joined here today with Tony Calvin, horse racing journalist and broadcaster, which Johnson and I don't need to give him an introduction.

Darryl Carter on also Dave Young on the panel with me today and my name is Elie Hudson.

Guys, I think we just got to start off really with the Supreme Novices Hurdle and Richard, You want this in 2010 on Missouri?

Can you explain to us what the Children war is?

Sze is only one challenge, I think, and you've only one chapter festival.

Those four days are the biggest of all year.

Um, even when we get to start, you know everyone's excited.

Anything else then, Nikki, When you jump off, you can hear a CZ.

You're jumping off in the race a lot of noise, but amazing.

Once you turned off in any race, even at the festival, I think you're so consumed by what's going on, what's happening in front to you, your horse, everything else.

To be honest, it blows out to nothing, and it's only after the William Line suddenly hits you again.

It's amazing how you you seem to sort of drowning eight and then then all of a sudden victory.

You're excited as well, then that that noise.

And does anyone say there's only one job?

I was trainers in the previous years, and obviously we've heard Gordon Elliott, 2017 winner Let Bake.

And then we've also had William Mullins quadruple.

And this year, how do we kind of way up the novice form between UK on dhe and Irish?

That is very interesting from the supreme point of view, because obviously everyone expects envoy Alan maybe to go for the Ballymore between 25 But Cordelia has said Envoy Island.

If it's soft or heavy ground, he will consider the supreme.

Now she skins a current favorite for the supreme around about 321 mark.

But envoy Alan, if he goes to the supreme, will be the favorite because obviously he's a really big reputation and Carol before I mean island.

So it all depends on the ground on the opening day.

It's not about the realms of possibility.

You could have envoy and running over to two miles in the Supreme.

And if that's the case, he will be favorite.

But you know, the island aren't a really strong hand in the costume for long shoes.

Really good in episode three Weeks Eso ago.

But the main English challenge of shit skin.

There's a bit of a culture about sources in there because, you know, when he he's got a push button acceleration.

Yes, and he hasn't won the grated races that some of the other horses in here as but the manner in which he's been winning.

And you didn't didn't have to be anything special to Huntington, but the way this horse just quickens up your pores way off the last is very impressive.

So I'll be in the shit skiing camp here over the island.

But like I said, it's it's fascinating what they do with them everywhere that if it ground comes up soft or heavy on the opening day.

Okay, that's interesting because classical Dream won this race last year.

Do we believe that chicken hasn't done that?

I don't think we should be concerned about it cause the manner of his victories have been quite impressive.

And as Tony's touched on there from the vibes from the yard are that this is an out your esque course, so it wouldn't necessarily worry me.

But, um, there is some good greater form on the table from other horses are steering four longe is the horse that I really like in the supreme.

I think he's got a massive chance in here.

If the ground does come up soft, heavy and Envoy land does divert to here.

Obviously, that will suit him because he stays.

But I think it would suit the likes of vast area for launch.

He'd looked a horse that could be an Albert Bartlett prospect at the start of the season.

Hey, is hopefully gonna come to the Supreme?

Shishkin wouldn't mind if it was slow ground, either.

He's got stabbed in abundance, So we're talking about a number of horses in here that are coming in with actual genuine chances.

They obviously can't finish in the 1st 3 so it might pay to look at something, maybe a bigger price, that I could sneak into a place and provide a few units coming out, the one that I do like.

And he does have graded winning former Soviet Pimpernel.

He should be within the supreme, but he won a great free last time out.

He run, really when a four year old heard or at Cheltenham has recently been purchased by Rocker.

It was Kevin Sexton the road in that shelter on the last day, and he didn't I don't think he gave him the best of rise.

But maybe that's lack of experience around the course, so I don't know who's gonna ride in at Cheltenham.

Robbie Power will be on Fiddler on the Roof.

Rachel Blackmore probably grown Captain Guinness, but I think so.

I think the price could be an interesting want to think about away from the head of the market.

Or it's moving on, then to the Arctic Challenge Trophy and Richard you rode the fourth favorite Captain Quest in 2011.

Since then, the last six of the last eight favorites have one.

I think I think he's also a very good horse has improved dramatically since you jump fences any.

His office do seem to always take a step forward.

When your offenses jumped well again in an article, Jumping is so so.

He deserves a favor and what he thought he's done yourself.

So you sent in Ireland the last date you did well to win because he basically bolted on the way to start.

He went right there, went the wrong way when they should have annoyed you, went left, bolted and he still wants.

But whether Shelton little, the atmosphere, nothing else, whether it be insurgency, where they do anything to try and keep him relaxed, because if he balls over, that would be a big issue.

I bring up a storm and look, I think he's He's ideal for the race.

He's only other two runs because he's jumped very well.

He got better and better the 1st 8 color, which is a good performance, and then you sort of wonder they should have the next day it Thornton But, you know, for me, he's very good.

Heard I Yeah, I think he's one of my best Rises a z out of the issues that we had a small a small victory banged a joint just for Christmas, which meant he was He was, Yeah, he had a couple weeks off on Dhe again every year.

Didn't didn't want to rush him back to try and get him half contingent.

But he said he was gonna be a rush to do that, and he'd rather come here, Just sit down.

Give us our school before, before your company e He's He's in very good order.

Because the favorite here, I think they're gonna put earplugs on that horse after what he did in Ireland last time.

In fact, do Dory's big cash back last time as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if that forms turned around, but I think it is pretty pretty difficult global citizens for being rude thief.

Last time has been frank kept the last time he is a bit.

He's a bit kind of like headstrong, and there's plenty of there'll be plenty of pace in this race.
