Looks like there are just two races this weekend worth more than £30k or, more pertinently, 30 points (x2) for the winning selection.
It'll be a brave punter who looks beyond Cheltenham's International Hurdle on Saturday where odds on
Peace And Co is an obvious Elite transfer today. The Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at the same meeting looks a lottery with eight of the 15 runners priced between 8/1 co-favourites and 10/1 (
Irish Cavalier happens to be in own team in any case). Beware: a course inspection is scheduled at Cork, where a 30,000 Euro race is due this Sunday.
