RACE seven of day three is the Kim Muir Challenge Cup and is run over three miles and half a furlong. Kim Muir Challenge Cup Mall Dini – Patrick Kelly 10-1 10bet Won at the festival last year for me at 16-1 in the Pertemps, he jumps well and travelled well last time at Fairyhouse when beat by a couple […]

RACE six on day three is the Mares Novices Hurdle and only the second running of this race. Willie Mullins won last year with Limini “my bet of the meeting”. Mares Novices Hurdle Airlie Beach – Willie Mullins 7-4 10bet We don’t know where she will run but has a massive chance whichever races she goes for. As I said […]

RACE five on day three is the Brown Advisory Plate or the Byrne Group Plate or whatever it’s called now as it’s had so many names. But I still call it the Festival Plate, run over two miles five furlongs. Brown Advisory Plate Frodon – Paul Nicholls 14-1 10bet Must have a chance at big odds, won six of his […]

RACE four on day three is the Stayers Hurdle or what was the World Hurdle but was originally the Stayers Hurdle. Last year we got a good antepost bet in Thistlecrack at 20-1. Stayers Hurdle Unowhatimeanharry – Harry Fry 5-4 10bet Antepost favourite for a while now and hasn’t done anything wrong. Unbeaten since November 2015 Unowhatimeanharry won last year’s […]

RACE three on day three is the Ryanair Chase, run over two miles five furlongs for horses aged five and over. Formed in 2005 and replaced the Cathcart Challenge Cup. Ryanair Chase Un De Sceaux – Willie Mullins 3-1 10bet Looked nailed-on to run in this for a while now unless anything went wrong with Douvan. Un De Sceaux is […]

RACE Two on day three is the Pertemps Final, it’s run over three miles and horses have eight qualifying races to qualify for this final race. Only four of the last ten winners had won their previous race. Pertemps Final Tobefair – 11-2 10bet Antepost favourite who is unbeaten in nearly two years with seven straight wins but has never […]

RACE seven on day two is the Champion Bumper, run over 2 miles 110 yards it’s a national hunt Flat race but ex-flat horses are not eligible. Getabird for Willie Mullins was always going to be my choice but that horse now won’t run. Champion Bumper Western Ryder – Warren Greatrex 11-1 10bet Two wins and two seconds, his best […]

RACE six on day two is the Fred Winter Hurdle, run over 2 miles 1/2 furlong it’s a race for the juveniles. Fred Winter Hurdle Coeur De Lion – Alan King 14-1 10bet I think he is interesting and I like him. He was beaten by Defi Du Seuil at Cheltenham and by only 1 3/4 lengths, he then got […]

RACE five on day two is the Cross Country Chase, run over three miles seven furlongs it’s a race that a lot of top jockeys don’t like to run in because of the risk that they could take a wrong course. Cross Country Chase Any Currency – Martin Keighley 11-1 10bet Winner of this race last year but later disqualified […]

RACE four of Day two is the day’s big one, The Queen Mother Champion Chase, run over two miles it’s one of the top four races at the festival. Queen Mother Champion Chase Douvan – Willie Mullins 1-4 10bet Is he the banker of the meeting? Well he might be but not for me at those odds. But to be […]

RACE two of Day two is the RSA Chase, run over 3 miles, which is far from easy for first-year Novice chasers but one stands out a mile. RSA Chase Coney Island – 7-1 10bet Also entered in the JLT and is interesting, beat half a length last time out some people said he didn’t stay but I thought it […]

RACE seven on Day one is Close Brothers Novices Handicap Chase. Run over 2m 4f this is usually a hard one to call and the closest handicap there is. Two years ago only 5lb separated the field. It is vital that you can spot horses that are capable of improving when looking to find the winner and it just so […]

RACE two on the first day sees one of my antepost selections in Min in the Arkle Challenge Trophy. Willie Mullins has won this the last two years with Un De Sceaux 2015 and Douvan 2016 with Champagne Fever just touched off in 2014 and I still don’t know how Western Warhorse won that race as Fever was the winner […]

RACE three on day one is the Ultima Handicap Chase run over 3m 110 yards and has in the past been a guide to the Grand National, a big field and a big priced winner probably. It would take too long to go through all horses so just a small write-up on a few. Ultima Handicap Chase 2.40 Tuesday 14th […]

RACE four on day one sees the day’s big one, the Champion hurdle, run over 2m 1/2f it’s a race about speed and yet again it’s been all about Willie Mullins the last few years with four wins from the last six runnings of the race and the winner for the last two years. It’s disappointing Annie Power won’t run […]
Posted on: 05 Feb 2017
RACE five on day one is the Mares hurdle and we yet again have to start with Willie Mullins who has also dominated this race with eight wins from only nine runnings of this race. He has won it the last eight years, six times with Quevega and once with Glens Melody when Annie Power fell at the last and […]

DAY one of the Cheltenham Festival 2017 gets under way on Tuesday March 14, with one of the greatest weeks of national hunt racing anywhere. The Festival is four days and consists of 28 races, I said last year I was tipping in every race and was looking to show a profit for the week and I did. My bet […]

JOHNB has already posted a few Cheltenham antepost bets, some advised as far back as March 17, and he’s now added some some. Cheltenham double 9.5-1 bet365 JLT Novices Chase YORKHILL 13-8 bet365 Arkle Trophy MIN 3-1 Both these horses have looked exceptional since going chasing, last year Min was the hype horse and could only manage 2nd in the […]

AS you all know one of Johnb’s fortes is identifying value early on the anteposts for big races. Here are his thoughts on not next year’s Derby but the race in 2018. He says: “It’s only December 2016 but the long road to Derby glory in 2018 starts now for me. Nearly 18 months of firstly going through breeding lines […]

At just 17 she is reckoned by our man to be the brightest talent he has seen for years Lulu has been based at Newmaket all her life and says she was lucky growing up as both her parents are in racing. In her early days she grafted […]
