Cheltenham has been taking up so much newspaper space for the last six months that I am going to try and avoid talking about the obvious horses and concentrate instead on not quite so obvious each-way shots. 5 to 1 or better is what I'm looking at.

In the first race, the Citroen Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Colonel Yeager looks ideal. On the formbook, he is the same horse as Joe Mac, who beat him a length and a half at Leopardstown but was getting 3lb. Yet Colonel Yeager is almost double Joe Mac's price. He is a good quality horse who looks the value of the race.

In the Guinness Arkle Trophy, I nominate my horse, Feathered Leader, as the each-way value. I think he has a sporting chance, and the more the ground dries out the better. I felt he was not handling the heavy ground during the winter, so we put him by for this. I've been happy with his preparation, he has schooled well, he was a very good novice hurdler and I will be delighted if he reaches the first three. His Song, though, will take all the beating.

Istabraq is the obvious choice in the Champion Hurdle but for each-way punters, Theatreworld, looks an ideal choice. Runner-up in this race for the last two years, it would be some record to end up placed in three successive Champion Hurdles. But with a fast pace guaranteed throughout, this race is ideal for Theatreworld. I think he can prove that point again.

"Statistically, not many Irish-trained horses win handicap chases in Cheltenham but I'm quite hopeful that Tony Martin's horse, Linden's Lotto, will break that mould in the Kim Muir. I think he has a great chance, and Tony has a great record in Britain this year and at Cheltenham over many years.

In the last, the each-way option could be Jim Old's horse, Three Farthings. I have an inkling that this one might be fancied.
