THERE are loads of games to pick from on Tuesday and that doesn’t make it any easier. The Championship is often a place for goals in midweek and I’m starting with Cardiff v Bournemouth which was 5-3 to the home men in the reverse fixture. Cardiff’s last three have seen both score including last weekend’s win at Brentford. Six of […]

IT’S part two of Celtic’s four-game shootout with Dundee United and Ronny Deila will hope to land part one of a domestic treble. The first instalment at Tannadice was fiery with red cards, incriminations and plenty of video reviews in the aftermath. Hopefully it will be just as exciting at Hampden on Sunday and after 90 minutes I expect Celtic […]

IT’S the first final of the season in Scotland on Sunday and Celtic are hot favourites to beat Dundee United at Hampden. I’ll post a separate preview of the big game and here are some prices and specials from Owen Scott’s William Hill on the Scottish League Cup Final. To Lift The Trophy Dundee Utd 4-1 Celtic 1-7 90 Minutes […]

IT’S incredibly bunched at the top of the English Championship with four sides locked on 66 points. One behind Bournemouth, Derby, Watford and Middlesbrough come Norwich and you can’t rule out Brentford on 62, Ipswich on 61 or even Wolves with 58. The way things stand any of the top eight could win automatic promotion but for me it’s two […]

THERE are just three games in the Scottish Premiership today with the showpiece Dundee United v Celtic League Cup Final taking place tomorrow. There is a full Championship card too and here some stats and specials from William Hill’s Owen Scott. These are not tips – and on the end is some team news. HAMILTON v ROSS COUNTY Hamilton have […]

WHAT start to the Festival! Day one couldn’t have been more dramatic and were it not for Annie Power falling at the last the bookies would’ve been crying in to their cornflakes this morning. As it was they’re still licking their wounds as most punters ended up on top so the bookies will be aiming to claw back some money […]

MAN UNITED have struggled to beat poor sides recently and I don’t see them taking care of Arsenal tonight. Louis van Gaal’s men remain in the Premier League top four but wins such as the midweek one at Newcastle have been solid rather than spectacular. Maybe the Dutchman will try to play “the Man Utd way” next season but for […]

DONALD McCain’s Super Duty is the clear favourite for this amateur riders’ three-miler. McCain was seriously thinking of running him in the RSA instead, which tells you how highly he rates the seven-year-old. Cantlow, finished third to Cape Tribulation in the Pertemps Final at last year’s Cheltenham Festival, has an entry here as well as in other three Festival handicaps. […]

Ballynagour looked to have any amount in hand when scoring on his British debut at Warwick recently. A word of caution is required though, he holds no less than 6 Festival entries and it would take a better man than me to predict what the Pipe team have in mind for this exciting horse. Hunt Ball was recently third in […]

CHAMPION Chase winners Finians Rainbow and Sizing Europe have yet to convince they are as effective over this longer trip, while Sir Des Champs and First Lieutenant seem much more likely to go for the Gold Cup. Sizing Europe has won his last five races on the trot since finishing second by under 2 lengths at last season’s Queen Mother […]

SAM Winner is very favourite and heavy backed by punters although he has had just one start over hurdles this season, when fifth in a Pertemps series qualifier at Sandown in December. Anyway he was a Grade Two winner at Cheltenham in his novice days when he pulled 15 lengths clear of leading Champion Hurdle hope Grandouet. Close House, a […]

THERE is a big question mark over the participation of several horses prominent in the ante post market. Fago and Arvika Ligeonniere are more likely to run in the Arkle, while Boston Bob and Dynaste look to be bound for the RSA. Captain Conan represents the powerful stable of Nicky Henderson in this race and is unbeaten in three starts […]

THE absence of Big Buck’s has left the World Hurdle wide open this year. And also Grand Crus will, runenr-up in the 2011 World Hurdle, will miss the race through an injury. Reve De Sivola has rediscovered his form of old since going back to hurdles after an unsuccessful stint chasing. He won the two commonly associated prep races, the […]

RIVAL d’Estruval, the eight-year-old, trained in Northumberland by Pauline Robson for owner Raymond Anderson Green, has won two of his four starts over fences so far and finished runner-up in the others. Back In Focus, the likely representative from the Willie Mullins yard, has solid credentials as he has looked an out-and-out stayer in winning all three of his chase […]

THE ex-French Pont Alexandre made a big impression when winning a Navan Grade 1 on his debut for the Willie Mullins yard. The unbeaten five-year-old has raced only twice for Mullins since arriving from France, scoring with plenty to spare both at Navan in Grade 1 company and in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown. The New One has already won […]

DYNASTE is fully justified to go off favourite after three impressive victories at Cheltenham, Newbury and Kempton. He has jumped like a seasoned handicapper and his most recent victory in the Feltham Novices’ Chase was the outstanding performance by a three-mile novice this season. Although Dynaste has not been seen for 10 weeks, that shouldn’t be a worry as this […]

FRENCH seven-year-old Sprinter Sacre is arguably the most likely winner of the whole four days and, in all likelihood, he will become the shortest priced winner at the festival since the great Arkle. The Nicky Henderson-trained seven-year-old is unbeaten in six starts over fences and recorded a third consecutive Grade One success on his seasonal return with a stunning display […]

WONDERFUL Charm, a 5yo, was last seen winning a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Chepstow in October (2m4f, good to soft) when coming clear by 6l. Master Of The Sea (has less to prove on the fitness side having won a decent handicap at Newbury (3m, soft) in February. That 4l victory made it four straight victories for the in-form […]

SAPHIR Du Rheu was a beaten odds-on shot at Newbury on his first run for Nicholls and although he thrashed God Of The Kop at the Somerset track next time, that horse hardly advertised the form when finishing stone last in a Class 3 handicap at Kempton recently, albeit on very different ground. Ptit Zig is joined favourite here, he […]

Quevega’s superiority in the last four years of this race deserves its recognition writes Milesey. The nine-year-old has not run since winning at Punchestown in April but looked in perfect shape this week when she galloped with another long-term absentee, Fiveforthree, and two other stablemates. Unaccompanied is a mare that has regularly been campaigned over 2m, compared with the extra […]

FRUITY O’Rooney, a 10-year-old trained by Gary Moore and runner-up in the JLT Specialty Handicap Chase last year, has been a model of consistency over fences with a string of commendable efforts in big handicaps writes Milesey. On his last two starts, Fruity O’Rooney has been placed both at Sandown and on Cheltenham Trials Day behind Katenko, who has developed […]

HURRICANE Fly, the Willie Mullins-trained winner of the race in 2011, bids to regain his crown at the expense of rivals that include last year’s victor Rock On Ruby writes Milesey. This season he’s arrived at the Cheltenham Champion Hurdle once again undefeated – including an impressive showing in his last race where he cruised to victory in the BHP […]
Posted on: 08 Mar 2015
CARLITO Brigante is the bookie’s favorite here, despite there are a lot of contenders and the odds are very close in this wide open race writes Milesey. Winner of the Coral Cup in 2011, Carlito Brigante also scored over fences at Cheltenham earlier this season and ran well behind Dynaste there in November and we believe he is capable of […]

ENDA Bolger’s domination of this race could be under threat with the introduction of a powerful new player into the Cross Country field: Willie Mullins writes Milesey. Enda Bolger has trained the winner of 14 of the 32 cross country races at Cheltenham but we cannot look past Willie Mullins’ Scotsirish: he beat Garde Champetre by two lengths in the […]
