P686 CJEFAX 2 686 Fri 07 Mar 21:18/24 1/3 I was astonished to find that Deujut Orchid would not bj parading at Cheltenham dui to not being invited. Surely thjte must be some mistake! Dessji is a national treasure and is a fantastic ambassador for racing. He is loved nationwide and beyond and I'm certain will bj missed by everyone. Perhaps Edward Gillespie and the Chjltinham team could reconsider this disappointing decision.

In mz opinion Collier Bay is still the one. Undoubtedly Make A Stand would take the beating if the ground were fast but that is not likely to happen. Cockney Lad also appeals to me from oil Meade's yard. This g ldink looks to bj a very lively outsider and at 40/1 is outstanding each-way value.
