This looks a vintage renewal of the Champion Chase with the big showdown between ALTIOR and Douvan finally materialising – not to mention Altior and Min clashing for the first time since they finished 1-2 in an equally-vintage renewal of the Supreme Novices’ in 2016. Throw in reigning champ Special Tiara, Tingle…

1pt win The Last Samuri @6/1, 16:10 Cheltenham, Wednesday
Wednesday’s Cross Country Chase looks a proper race this year with the trend of increasingly classy horses and larger yards targeting it continuing. Last year’s winner Cause Of Causes, a three-time festival winner who went on to place second in the Grand National, is back to attempt a fourth consecutive…
1pt win Monalee, 14:10 Cheltenham, Wednesday
A tricky looking RSA Chase this year, but there has to be a bet given I don’t fancy the favourite Presenting Percy one bit. He won at last year’s festival in the Pertemps final, a handicap, and has been in fine form recently despite some curious placing from his lesser…
14/1 Yorkhill is overpriced in the Champion Hurdle
Cheltenham Festival finally kicks off tomorrow (Tuesday) with the course the softest it’s been for this meet in decades. For some stupid reason I’ve been golfing on top of a hill at Lilley Brook in Cheltenham today and it was decidedly squishy underfoot, while it drizzled all day too, so…
0.75pts each-way Vintage Clouds @12/1, 14:50 Cheltenham, Tuesday
Unusually heavy going on the opening day of The Festival with the first handicap, the Ultima Handicap Chase, failing to attract its full compliment of runners with just 18 lining up. It has been a graveyard for favourite backers with just one winner in the last ten runnings. I really…
2pts win Min @12/1 non-runner no bet, Champion Hurdle, Cheltenham, Tuesday
Ruby Walsh has several enviable choices to make ahead of the Cheltenham Festival, none more so than which of Rich Ricci’s ex-Supreme Novice winners Min and Douvan in the Champion Chase. However, I’ve heard Ruby Walsh talk about the favourite Altior and I though it was telling how highly he…
1pt win Waiting Patiently @9/4, 15:35 Ascot, Saturday
The Betfair Ascot Chase is the final piece of the domestic challenge’s Grade 1 form ahead on next month’s Cheltenham Festival and we’re treated to a brilliant renewal this year despite a deluge of rain guaranteeing testing conditions. Defending champ’ Cue Card is back for more and gets his favoured…
1pt each-way Baie Des Iles @10/1, 16:20 Punchestown
BAIE DES ILES faces its first marathon chase trip of the season over perfect conditions at Punchestown today, as the seven-year-old mare goes in search of her second victory in this race having hosed up off a 4lb lower mark last year. (more…) Tweet
0.75pts each-way Silver Streak @18/1, 0.75pts each-way Misterton @20/1, 15:35 Newbury
There are cases to be made for many in this field and Irish Roe looks an interesting favourite for the richest handicap hurdle of the season. The last ten winners of this race have been aged five or six so it certainly pays to stick with the unexposed horses and…
Joel's Betfair Hurdle selection: Kayf Grace
KAYF GRACE looks the bet in a rock-solid betting puzzle that is the 2018 renewal of the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. Nicky Henderson sends five, all with decent chances, and stable jockey Nico de Boinville has opted for the inexperienced mare, . The speed she showed in her bumper days coupled…
