2m1f (2m179y) (New) JCB Triumph Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo) A race that’s been dominated by Willie Mullins with four winners in a row. His main hope Narciso Has was well-fancied to claim this but with his injury he is relying on an enviable bench who could…
1pt win Sixandahalf @12/1, 14:00 Cheltenham, Friday
2m1f (2m179y) (New) William Hill County Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) Winning this requires a strong traveller and SIXANDAHALF has long been on my radar for this race. Her yard have had a disappointing season but 3lb claimer Conor Stone-Walsh and Gavin Cromwell combined for a winner in the Cross Country…
1pt win Panic Attack 7/2, 14:40 Cheltenham, Friday
2m4½f (2m4f127y) (New) Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase (Registered As The Liberthine Mares’ Chase) (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) Dan Skelton has had a fantastic time this week and hirs mare PANIC ATTACK has been really impressive this season claiming the Paddy Power Gold Cup and the Coral…
1pt win Echoing Silence @14/1, 1pt win La Conquiere @16/1, 13:20 Cheltenham, Thursday
2m1f (2m179y) (New) Ryanair Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2) (Registered As The Dawn Run mares’ Novices’ Hurdle) (GBB) (Class 1) (4yo+) The line of thought all season has been last year’s Champion Bumper, won by Bambino Fever, was hot form. Results this week have suggested otherwise with RPRs from beaten horses El Cairos (145), Sortudo…
1pt win C'est Different @8/1, 1pt win Absolutely Doyen @14/1, 16:40 Cheltenham, Thursday
3m (2m7f213y) (New) Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) I think this is a cracking renewal of the race. Clearly Dan Skelton has targeted Supremely West at this race for many months and he is feared having run third in a stayers hurdle behind…
1pt win Kabral Du Mathan @5/1, 1pt win Ma Shantou @7/1, 15:20 Cheltenham, Thursday
3m (2m7f213y) (New) Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) Teahupoo and Bob Olinger come back to reclaim their crown, but I like the new kids on the block here. KABRAL DU MATHAN has looked a really class individual this season, he scooted away in a…
1pt win I'll Sort That @16/1, 1pt win Bossman Jack @18/1, 13:20 Cheltenham, Wednesday
2m5f (Old) Turners Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1) (Registered As The Baring Bingham Novices’ Hurdle) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) An incredibly open looking renewal of the race with No Drama This End representing the Nicholls connections as a short-priced favourite. He is definitely the right favourite but he’s clearly going…
1pt win Kaid d'Authie @13/2, 14:00 Cheltenham, Wednesday
3m1f (Old) Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase (Grade 1) (Registered As The Broadway Novices’ Chase) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) I have Romeo Coolio about a 7/2 chance on my ratings so if you’re with him at the current prices then it’s quite fair. I don’t see why he won’t stay this trip well and…
1pt each-way Iberico Lord @10/1, 1pt each-way Farren Glory @22/1, 2:40 Cheltenham, Wednesday
2m5f (Old) BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) IBERICO LORD has always shaped like a winner of this race. I’m not at all put off by his 8lb rise as he had dropped 8lb following his blowout in the Champion Hurdle two years back. That race must have left…
1pt win Jazzy Matty @8/1, 1pt win Release The Beast @10/1, 16:40 Wednesday, Cheltenham
2m (1m7f199y) (Old) Debenhams Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) JAZZY MATTY was a good winner of this race last year and he’s been trained for one race in mind ever since. He does carry 8lbs more but Cian Collins has…
