THE Gold Cup (3.30) can go the way of SIZING JOHN for Ireland. This is a horse who chased home an on-song Douvan several times when racing over two miles and I would respectfully suggest that few of his rivals, perhaps Cue Card apart, could have had the pace or class to get within hailing distance of that horse in his pomp. […]
BALLYOPTIC can spring a minor surprise in the Sun Bets Stayers’ Hurdle (3.30).This is a horse who hasn’t been finishing off his races as well as he was doing last year, but he’s had a breathing operation since last seen, he returns to good ground – on which he thrived last spring – and he got the closest to giving […]
AFTER one winner and two places @nickluck can count his first day at the Cheltenham Festival a success. He’s back to look at Day two’s best chances across all seven races… It is folly to try and oppose Douvan in the Queen Mother Champion Chase (3.30), he could be one of the all-time greats. So let’s get involved in the […]
WHAT makes the Champion Hurdle (3.30) so intriguing is it’s such a hard race to call. With the absence of the last two winners and with all last season’s leading novice hurdlers going chasing it’s a division that looks ripe for the taking. Throw in the fact tall the form lines intertwine and you have a doubly difficult race to […]
STEERING clear of the obvious short-priced favourites Thistlecrack, Un De Sceaux and Co., the horse that I have put up as my best bet at Cheltenham in my Oddschecker column is Walk In The Mill in the two-and-a-half mile handicap chase at 1.10pm. This is a horse who has spent quite a bit of his time running over a distance […]
WITH Ascot’s Grade One card in serious danger my Oddschecker column this weekend will focus on the TV racing from Haydock which suits me because I was of the opinion the better punting opportunities lie at the Lancashire venue in any case. I’ve had a good long look at the Peter Marsh Chase (3.15) and have come to the opinion […]
DON’T let anyone tell you this a poor King George just because there are only five runners. This is one of the most eagerly-awaited clashes since the days of Denman v Kauto Star and although there is no Irish representation, I am struggling to think of a more intriguing clash outside of the Cheltenham Festival for some time. It was […]
