I’m not going to lie, I can’t stand this race but this is the Foxhunter’s which is now known as the St. James’s Place Festival Challenge Cup Open Hunters’ Chase for Amateur riders. I can see why this race remains in the festival as it gives the Amateur riders a chance to showcase their talent and the PTP trainers get a […]

The biggest race of the week is finally here, it’s the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase. With the way that this week has gone, it really is hard to look past Galopin Des Champs, but it is jumps racing and anything can happen… Cheltenham 3:30 – Corach Rambler 14/1 (0.5pt EW) If the same Galopin Des Champs turns up for this race […]

The Final Novice Grade 1 race over hurdles for the week is the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle which is over 3m. Over the years this race has been a bookies paradise with double-figure priced winners winning it nine of the last ten years, with the last favourite winning it in 2013. Cheltenham 2:50 – Chigorin 12/1 (0.5pt EW, Bet365) This is […]

The second race of the day is one of the tough handicaps which are rock-solid to find a winner in, this time it’s the BetMGM County Handicap Hurdle. Dan Skelton built up a reputation when landing this race three times in four years between 2016 – 2019 and he won it again last year with Favoir. Cheltenham 2:10 – Westport Cove 28/1 […]

We enter the final day of the Festival, and hasn’t it gone quickly? The first race to kickstart Gold Cup day is the JCB Triumph Hurdle Grade 1 which is the pinnacle for the Juvenile hurdlers. Juvenile races are often tough to get right. I’ve mentioned it a lot over the past three years since I started here that form can […]

Willie made it another great day, rounding it off in the bumper with his 100th Cheltenham Festival winner, which is some going. There won’t be as good of celebrations for the Mullins team as El Fabiolo was pulled up in the Champion Chase, being the first real hot pot to boil over at this year’s Festival. Dan Skelton did Dan […]

The final race of the day is the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Chase. 24 runners go to post for this Amateur Jockeys’ race run over 3m 2f. You won’t go far wrong going for the better jockeys in this race. Jamie Codd (retired) won it twice in the last ten years, and other top amateurs like […]

Since the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle was created back in 2016, Willie Mullins has won the race five times, but those five times came in the first five renewals of the race, so maybe the times are changing for this set race. Cheltenham 4:50 – Brighterdaysahead 6/4 (2pt) A horse I’ve been sweet on for this race since she has been […]

Another race that the British trainers/horses have done well in over the last few years (well better than most of the other races at the Festival) is the Magners Plate Handicap Chase, which is run over 2m 4f. This handicap is a 21-runner contest, filled with horses you would have seen run in some tough handicaps all season long. Some horses […]

The Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle Grade 1 is the third Champion race of the week and is without a doubt the toughest one to call so far. There are three previous winners of this race who will try and get their crown back, they are Sire Du Berlais, Flooring Porter and Paisley Park. However, some of the younger, more fresher […]

The Ryanair Chase Grade 1 is the race which winds up a lot of racing purists. They think it takes away horses who are good enough to run in the Champion Chase or the Gold Cup. In the past the Ryanair Chase hasn’t been competitive races, you’ve had easy winners, especially when Allaho was running in them. Cheltenham 2:50 – […]

I’ve mentioned over the last couple of days which races people don’t like, this is probably up there for the one I dislike the most, it’s the Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle. In the past, to get into this race horses would have to run in qualifiers in Ireland or the UK and they would have to finish in the top […]
Posted on: 13 Mar 2024
Day 3 of the Festival is kicked off by the 2m 4f Turners Novices’ Chase Grade 1 race. This race hasn’t been won by any real superstar in the last four years, even though they were all touted for big things. Samcro won it in 2020, but his form soon fell off a cliff after winning this. Similar comments can […]

It’s a Willie Mullins world and we’re living in it. Yet again the master trainer delivered the goods on Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival, pinging in three winners and I’m sure many of you will have had them in a treble or a rolling accumulator with his horses later to run in the week. The Champion Hurdle was won […]

The final race of Day 2 is the Weatherbys Champion Bumper which is the flat race that takes place around Cheltenham with no hurdles or fences jumped. This is one of the races which does tend to get a fair bit of criticism, as does the whole idea of bumper races. I think it’s a good idea to introduce horses to […]

For horses who aren’t quite capable of mixing it at the top level over the minimum trip, they come to Cheltenham for the Grand Annual Challenge Cup. This is yet another rock-solid handicap to dissect and similar to the other handicaps of today and yesterday, finding the winner will be extremely difficult. Cheltenham 4:50 – Libberty Hunter 9/2 (1pt) & Unexpected […]

The Glenfarclas Chase (Cross Country Chase) is one of my favourite races of the week. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love the course and the jumps they have on show. Gordon Elliott has been the master trainer of this race since 2017. He has racked up five wins, and Denise Foster ‘trained’ Tiger Roll when he managed to […]

The second Champion race takes place at 3:30 in the shape of the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase Grade 1. This is for the quickest and best jumpers over the minimum trip, where speed and precision are key. Other than Altior in recent years, the short-priced favourites have been beatable. We’ve had Defi Du Seuil beat at odds of 2/5, Chacun Pour Soi beat at […]
Posted on: 12 Mar 2024
The third handicap race of the week is the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle, which is a Class 1 race run over 2m 5f and is another competitive race to get stuck into! This is one of the races at the Cheltenham Festival where the each-way punters will love to get stuck into. In the last ten years, we’ve had one winning […]
Posted on: 12 Mar 2024
The second race of the day sees the best 3m Novice chasers take their chance in the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase, which was previously known as the RSA, which is what a lot of people still like to call this race. In recent years we’ve had some absolute cracking races take place in the Brown Advisory, with some belting rides […]

If you were on the Willie Mullins favourites, which looked to be the way entering into Day 1, you would have been laughing. I’m sure many of you would’ve been on the Gaelic Warrior, State Man and Lossiemouth treble. In recent times, this race has been won by ‘hype jobs’ who looked to have the world at their feet, but […]
