1pt win Into Overdrive @5/1, 13:35 Wetherby, Monday
3m William Hill Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (Class 1) (4yo+) Shan Blue is being priced up on some of his old chasing form. He might be well-treated but he has to defy a lengthy layoff. This can go to an improving seven-year-old stayer and the choice was between…
1pt win Fury Road @16/1, 14:20 Leopardstown, Wednesday
3m Savills Chase (Grade 1) (5yo+) 1/5 1-3 It’s a few days before we get final declarations for this and there remains a significant doubt the antepost fav and Gold Cup champ A Plus Tard turns up here after bombing out at Haydock. It’s not a race Willie Mullins particularly…
1pt win Absolute Notions @25/1, Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, 17th March 2023
Entered this weekend in a Grade 2 at Navan over 2m4f, ABSOLUTE NOTIONS, an unbeaten son of Milan, looks an ideal Albert Bartlett type as he was all stamina on his hurdles debut and already proven on spring ground having bolted up in a bumper in May, which prompted Robcour…
1pt win Fantastic Lady @7/1, 1pt win Sole Pretender @12/1, 13:50 Cheltenham, Saturday
2m4½f (New) AIS December Gold Cup Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) Il Rodoto is favourite for this having finished fourth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup over C&D last time out when racing against several of the same opponents competing here. But I’m not convinced he…
1pt win Too Friendly @7/1, 15:00 Cheltenham, Friday
2m1f (2m179y) (New) Catesby Estates Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) (3yo+ 0-140) With the Skelton yard in savage form, this looks a good opportunity for TOO FRIENDLY to get his next win off a mark of 123. He was only 4l behind Brazil and Gaelic Warrior in the Boodles at the festival, getting just 4lb from…
1pt win First Street @7/1, 14:25 Cheltenham, Saturday
2m1f (2m179y) (New) Unibet International Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) Whether racing actually goes ahead or not come Saturday is one question, but why on earth FIRST STREET is 7/1 for this race, receiving weight from Knappers Hill and I Like To Move It, and only giving Epatante 5lb, is beyond me.…
1pt win Path D'oroux @10/1, 13:25 Fairyhouse, Sunday
2m (Inner) Bar One Racing Royal Bond Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) (4yo+) It’s a super renewal of the Royal Bond on what is a cracking day of racing in Ireland. Champ Kiely has looked highly impressive in both his hurdles wins for the Mullins yard, he’s firmly the stable’s first…
1pt win Pink Legend @16/1, 14:55 Huntington, Sunday
2m4f (2m3f189y) Fitzdares Peterborough Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) My cliff horse Millers Bank has a right good chance in this race as he’s shown a high level of ability when getting his jumping right, which is never guaranteed unfortunately. I think he’s a very fair price at 3/1-7/2. The value…
1pt win Banbridge @3/1, 13:55 Sunday, Fairyhouse
2m4f (2m3f165y) Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase (Grade 1) (4yo+) An excellent race that can go to the ‘now’ horse BANBRIDGE, whose excellent jumping has improved him for the switch to fences. He has speed, having won over 2m recently, and we know he stays really well too. He looks the complete…
