SIMON GILES "OVERTURN SET FOR SUPRISE SATURDAY MISSION
"OVERTURN looks set to get a surprise opportunity to further state his Champion Hurdle credentials in what is shaping up to be a fascinating Stan James.com International Hurdle at Cheltenham on Saturday.
"The presence of Britain's premier duel-purpose performer among the ten-strong entry, which includes GRANDOUET and MENORAH, was unexpected after connections had initially suggested he would be given a break following his four-and-a-half-length defeat of BINOCULAR in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle last Saturday week.
"However, with Cheltenham officials announcing they intend to water ahead of this weekend's meeting following the continued dry spell, Donald McCain revealed the prospect of good ground was the major factor in deciding to reroute the Tim Leslie owned seven-year-old to the £130,000 contest on Saturday, for which he is a 4-1 chance with the sponsors.

"LEADING OWNER ANDY STEWART WAS BANG - ON IN HIS COLUMN IN YESTERDAY'S RACING POST AS
FOR RACING TO ENGAGE STUDENTS.
"WALK INTO a betting shop nowadays and the young clientele will be predominantly playing the
FOBT's rather than taking an interest in real life-horseracing. For decades an interest has been passed down through family members, but those days seem to be over and if racing relies on this generation game to attract new fans then, like the cuddly toy, we're going to be stuffed. Universities are untapped gold mines for discovering long-term followers of racing. There are loads of racing-obsessed students on Twitter and writing blogs and the combination of a day out with a few drinks involved and the ability to be academically competitively with their peers (by picking winners) makes a trip to the races an attractive pursuit for undergraduates.
"The main gripe, as highlighted by Stewart, is that a day at the races is too expensive for most students. Given that many will eventually have decent jobs and be affluent, racing should be providing them with as much as possible for as little as possible until they graduate, so when they do have enough money, racing can start reaping the benefits."
