Orphee des Blins arrives safely in Cheltenham and is ready to go

 

According to the Dostihovy Svet Czech language web pages, Orphee des Blins has arrived at Cheltenham none the worse for her long journey, is eating well and has had a good training session. Trainer Greg Wroblewski is hopeful that she will run well, but points out that the mare's form in the past has been inconsistent. In fact, he seemed to imply  that females of the species in general have a tendency to be inconsistent. No doubt he will claim credit if she does run well tomorrow.
The Glenfarclas Crosscoutnry Chase is on Friday at 16.00 Central European Time, 3 p.m. in Cheltenham.
