3m (2m7f213y) (New) Paddy Power Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) (Class 2) (4yo+) Super competitive with 14 runners. I fancy BOTOX HAS to run another huge race after being narrowly denied on his first go at three miles in handicap company, also on the New course at Cheltenham where he has never finished worse than second.…
1pt win Alnadam @11/2, 14:00 Cheltenham, Saturday
2m4½f (New) Paddy Power New Year’s Day Handicap Chase (Grade 3) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) He might currently be favourtie, but I think ALNADAM is a cracking bet for the big handicap on New Year’s Day at Cheltenham. Plenty of runners are coming into this having contested two similar…
1pt win Guard Your Dreams @7/1, 15:10 Cheltenham, Saturday
2m4½f (2m4f56y) (New) Dornan Engineering Relkeel Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (5yo+) GUARD YOUR DREAMS looks overpriced for Relkeel success after winning the International Hurdle in impressive fashion. Course form is assured and we know he stays the extra distance having beaten three subsequent winners over 2m4f on the old course earlier this…
1pt win Flash Collonges @4/1, 15:35 Newbury, Wednesday
2m6½f MansionBet Proud To Support British Racing Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race) (Class 3) (5yo+) FLASH COLLONGES was by far the highest-rated hurdler out of this crop of novices, but was always fancied to be a better chaser than hurdler. He was set a very tough assignment being put…
1pt each-way Kamaxos @18/1, 14:00 Newbury, Wednesday
2m4½f (2m4f118y) Bank A Winner With MansionBet Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race) (Class 2) (4yo+) A wide open handicap but I’m taking a swing at KAMAXOS hitting the frame – as he has done when chasing home two well handicapped horses on his previous two starts. He races 6lb out of the handicap, which would…
1pt each-way A Great View @12/1, 1pt each-way Authorized Art @16/1, 13:10 Leopardstown, Tuesday
3m Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Qualifier) (4yo+) The top two in the market look well overbet now with the tips from pricewise yesterday evening. But I’m going to side with a proven performer in this company with A GREAT VIEW. He put in an eyecatching performance in a similar test…
1pt win Defi Bleu @16/1, 14:40 Limerick, Tuesday
2m3½f Tim Duggan Memorial Handicap Chase (Grade B) (5yo+ 0-150) There are several second-season chasers that make appeal in this Grade B handicap at Limerick, but none more than DEFI BLEU who comes into this off a very workable mark of 135. Defi Bleu finished third in the Martin Pipe…
1pt each-way Highland Hunter @10/1, 1pt each-way Mighty Thunder @14/1, 14:50 Chepstow, Monday
3m6½f Coral Welsh Grand National Handicap Chase (Grade 3) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) The Welsh National features four previous winners with the young, progressive, Secret Reprieve set to go off favourite for this twelve months on. He could join an elite group of consecutive winners and being only 6lbs…
1pt win Captain Morgs @4/1, 1pt win Stream Of Stars @10/1, 15:40 Kempton Monday
2m (Winter) Ladbrokes Committed To Safer Gambling Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) (3yo+ 0-140) CAPTAIN MORGS should be favourite for this as he’s got form with Betfair Exchange Hurdle 2-3 Onemorefortheroad and Garry Clermont, and has been consistently running well in handicaps amongst a high standard of British hurdlers including Soaring Glory and Guard Your…
1pt win Porticello @4/1, 13:40 Chepstow, Monday
2m (2m11y) Coral Finale Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (3yo) A tricky race but PORTICELLO should be favourite based on the form of his narrow second to leading British juvenile Knight’s Salute last time out, when an untidy jump at the last cost him the race. He rallied and stayed on…
