DEFI DU SEUIL will win. 1pt win Defi Du Seuil @3/1, 13:30 Cheltenham, Thursday Tweet

1pt win Frodon @15/2, 14:50 Cheltenham, Thursday
Thursday’s Ryanair Chase looks brilliant, with so many holding live chances. The first and easiest to rule out on price grounds would be last year’s Arkle winner Footpad, who has been poor this season and has no right to be favourite for this race. His stablemate Un De Sceaux is…
1pt win Topofthegame @7/2, 14:10 Cheltenham, Wednesday
Wednesday’s RSA Chase is one of the races of the week with the big Irish hope Delta Work heading the market from Santini, Topofthegame and On The Blind Side. I like last year’s Pertemps Final winner Delta Work a lot as he’s progressed into a Grade 1 horse in subsequent…
1pt each-way Dancing On My Own @14/1, 1pt each-way Cracking Smart @12/1, 14:50 Cheltenham, Wednesday
Day two; the Coral Cup; 26 runners; two bets. DANCING ON MY OWN is the first name on the list, stepping up in trip and representing the same form-line that provided Tuesday’s runaway Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner Klassical Dream. Collateral form with that horse, which surely ran to a mark bordering…
1pt win Mulcahys Hill @33/1, 17:30 Cheltenham, Saturday
Tuesday’s closing race, the four-mile National Hunt Chase, can go to lively 33/1 outsider MULCAHYS HILL for Warren Greatrex. Last seen over two-and-a-half miles in Grade 1 company at Sandown, which was his first run back after a wind op that ‘transformed him at home’, we shouldn’t take that form literally as…
1pt each-way Aramon @14/1, 13:30 Tuesday, Cheltenham
Final declarations are in for the curtain raising Supreme Novices’ Hurdle of Cheltenham Festival 2019, due off Tuesday at 1:30, and the predictable market mover is Ruby Walsh’s choice Klassical Dream. I wouldn’t rule out him going off favourite as punters love that combo in the Supreme, but that ship…
1pt each-way Song For Someone @12/1, 14:25 Kempton, Saturday
Lots of good racing at Kempton on Saturday but the cards are real head scratchers. In the Adonis Juvenile Hurdle there’s a scarcity of hurdles experience in the race, which is why I’m backing the super-slick jumping SONG FOR SOMEONE to make his experience count. He seems to have improved since being gelded…
1pt ante-post win Fast Buck to win the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at 40/1 non-runner no bet
We’ve only advised one ante-post bet so far for the Cheltenham Festival – Clan Des Obeaux to win the Gold Cup at 10/1 – and it’s high time for another with just three weeks to go. The Supreme Novices’ and Ballymore Novices’ hurdles are open betting markets – and perhaps…
1pt win Coneygree @11/2, 14:20 Ascot, Saturday
Reikers Island looks the wrong favourite in the 14.10 handicap chase, as his price suggests he’s definitely got improvement in him when that’s not assured. He’s up against an ex-Gold Cup winner in CONEYGREE and might be in for a shock when the old horse blasts off at his fairly…
1pt win Fox Norton @6/1, 15:55 Ascot, Saturday
Despite picking Waiting Patiently for last year’s renewal of the Ascot Chase, which he duly won, he looks a horse to take on this time around having run just the once this season when lucklessly unseating in the King George. He’s a short price and this looks a deeper field…
