My lucky green coat is coming out of the ­wardrobe for its annual appearance. Cheltenham will be ­bouncing on St Patrick’s Thursday — if you can’t beat the Irish, there’s no better place to join them. Things get more competitive from then on and I will be siding with JORDANS CROSS in the ­ferociously competitive Jack Richards Novices’ Chase (2.00). Something, however, is drawing me to KABRAL DU MATHAN. In a stable packed with talent, this gelding might just be the best horse Dan Skelton has on his hands.
