2m (Old) Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) Look, I know he’s quite short, and I know I’ve tipped him twice before. But I just don’t see any reason not to be on FINAL ORDERS again. Yes, he continues to go…

3m1f (Old) Ultima Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) Although the Irish are likely to be dominant throughout the week, the Brits normally have the edge when it comes to the handicap chases. The Ultima is a race which normally sees returning horses perform admirably. Un Temps…

3m6f (Old) WellChild National Hunt Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Novices’ Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) There isn’t that much to like about many of the runners entered in the National Hunt Chase this year. None more so than the fav, Gaillard Du Mesnil, who seems to snatch…
1pt each-way Punta Del Este @16/1, 16:50 Tuesday, Cheltenham
2m½f (Old) Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (Registered As The Fred Winter) (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo) A pretty mental race to try and find a winner in with SPs of 80/1, 33/1 and so on regularly popping up over the last few years. French imports have generally had…
1pt win Regarding Ruth @11/2, 1pt win Annual Invictus @15/2, 13:50 Newbury, Saturday
3m Betfair Multiples Offer Every Saturday Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) (4yo+ 0-140) It doesn’t scream quality, this Class 3 handicap hurdle. But it’s intriguing enough. Barbados Bucks is a weak looking 7/2 favourite having folded tamely in each of his last two starts off his current mark to finish 3rd.…
1pt win James Du Berlais @3/1, 13:40 Leopardstown, Sunday
2m5f Ladbrokes Novice Chase (Grade 1) (5yo+) A cracking renewal, which looks on paper to be between Mighty Potter, Gaillard Du Mesnil, and JAMES DU BERLAIS. Mighty Potter was an impressive winner of the Drinmore and is a chaser on the up. He raced in all the top two-mile novice…
1pt win Final Orders @7/1, 16:10 Leopardstown, Saturday
2m1f Paddy Power Cheltenham Fanzone Handicap Chase (Registered As The Sandyford Handicap Chase) (Grade B) Wave Of the Sea looks like he has had an identical season preparation for this handicap as he bids to complete three victories in this race off just a 2lb higher mark than in his…

3m Sky Bet Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) Ga Law was a good winner of the Paddy Power Chase at Cheltenham a few months ago and connections may have long term aspirations to take their stable star to a Gold Cup in 2024. He was given…
1pt win Dalamoi @7/1, 1pt win Malinello @9/1, 12:10 Cheltenham, Saturday
2m4½f (New) Timeform Novices’ Handicap Chase (GBB Race) (Class 2) (5yo+) I’m not sure how strong a favourite the Venetia Williams trained Fire Dancer is for this Novices Handicap Chase. The French import jumped well on his first start in GB after a significant layoff, but only just got home…
1pt win Watch House Cross @8/1, 14:20 Leopardstown, Tuesday
2m Paddy Power “Je Suis Une Baguette” Handicap Hurdle (4yo+) WATCH HOUSE CROSS has already shown a liking for the track at Leopardstown having won a maiden hurdle over this distance on this card last year. He then ran in the Grade 1 Irish Tattersals Novice hurdle, finishing last to…
