A COMPARATIVELY low-key Saturday this week following the excitement of Aintree last weekend. A good weekend for me too with winners at 14-1, 100-30 and 9-1 in the first three races at Aintree. I thoroughly enjoyed the Grand National too. Jamie Codd gave Cause of Causes a peach of a ride but couldn’t quite catch the excellent One for Arthur. Rogue Angel was […]

It’s the final day of the Festival and Voice of Value has his eye on an 8/1 shot in the Gold Cup.

AS I type this the hands are still trembling from the excitement. What a day. From agony to ecstasy and all points in between today (Wednesday) as we lost the first race in a photo finish and then Might Bite…. Well, God himself only knows what was going on there. It looked like someone who had backed Whisper was leaning […]

AS I sit typing this guide for day two, Un Temps Pour Tout has just got his nose up in the Ultima which is disappointing after I gave him a good write up but stopped short of tipping him. Ballyandy and The New One were both bitterly disappointing with The New One’s jumping particularly hard to watch and the position […]

“GO ON YA BEAUTY!!” The big day is upon us, six months of talking and waiting nearly over and when the roar goes up at 1.31pm everyone is desperte to get that first winner on the board. My previews have covered most of the races for the week and hopefully we’ve managed to find some value but only time will […]

GOLD Cup day. The pinnacle of the national hunt season for many and I’m no different. This year’s race has seen a few big names drop out but we’re still left with a fascinating prospect. The rest of the card has plenty of intriguing races too and I’m keen on a few for Friday. Triumph Hurdle A race exclusively for […]

THE third day of the Festival starts to separate the wheat from the chaff as the drinking and gambling catches up with the novices and a few end up tailed off at the back of the field… For those still going strong the racing remains world class. JLT Novices Chase I think this race revolves around YORKHILL. He was a […]

Plenty more fun to be had on the second day of the festival with the Champion Chase being the highlight. There’s no reason not to start getting involved now given the non runner no bet (NRNB) concession from 10Bet so let’s see if we can find any value… Neptune Investment Management Novices Hurdle Similar conditions to the Supreme on Tuesday […]

WITH the Cheltenham Festival just over a week away I’m delighted to welcome back national hunt specialist Voice of Value to our team. Alongside @johnb and @nickluck he’ll be bringing us daily tips during the Festival but he’s so excited at the prospect of bashing the bookies that he’s got his antepost tips in his sights and here he shares […]

ALWAYS a tricky puzzle this race and this year looks incredibly competitive once again, probably even more so than usual. A clear favourite hasn’t emerged although at the time of writing it looks like my main tip HEATHFIELD is being heavily supported and might go off as favourite. That doesn’t put me off him though. His win at Punchestown at […]

A HORRIBLE day for the punters on Day 2 with all the favourites losing and I had very little luck too. From Tycoon Prince who was travelling well when he clattered a hurdle in the back straight all the way through to Bellshill who just missed out by a neck. That would have been a great saver on a poor […]

A GOOD start to the week although we hit the bar a couple of times with Sizing John, Diego Du Charmil and Don Poli. Diego was particularly frustrating getting 4th when we needed 3rd for a nice return at 10s. I had a nice win for the big bet of the day though with On The Fringe at 4pts on […]

THE AINTREE FESTIVAL is often seen as a ‘one race festival’ given the magnitude of the Grand National and I must be as guilty as anyone of perpetrating that myth given my focus on the National but the other races are fantastic and never more so than this year. Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls have an interesting battle on for […]

RACING is always in a bit of a lull at this time of year as the madness of Cheltenham has subsided but it’s just a bit too early to get excited about the Grand National (stay tuned for a runner-by-runner guide for that next week) or the start of the flat season. As I write this it’s Good Friday which...

Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase The ‘get out’ stakes – one last chance to recoup some cash from the bookies 2 miles Handicap Chase I managed to pick the winner in this last year and there’s no better feeling than finishing off on a winner but it’s a tricky race so please please please don’t lump all your profit on […]

Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys Handicap Hurdle 4.50pm Run over 2 miles 4 furlongs Only conditional jockeys can ride (young jockeys at the start of their careers) Hurdle race This race is often targeted by a trainer who knows he or she has a well handicapped horse but also knows that he or she has a good conditional jockey who can […]

St James Place Foxhunter Chase 4.10pm The ‘Gold Cup for amateurs’ 3 miles 2 furlongs Lower quality horses All amateur jockeys The Foxhunter gets a bit of a bad rep given the poorer quality of horses that are usually involved but I think it adds to the romance of the festival and is a brilliant opportunity for smaller-scale stables and […]

Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup 3.30pm The coup de grace in the National Hunt world This is the horse that every trainer, owner and jockey wants to win, even more than the Grand National 3 miles 2 furlongs Run over fences Anyone who knows me or has followed my previews will not be surprised to hear what I am about to […]

Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle 2.50pm Hurdles Almost 3 miles This is one for the best young hurdlers over a longer distance (stayers) There are question marks over how many of these will stay the trip coming up the hill at the end of the gruelling 3 miles because the race is always run at a frantic pace. BARTERS HILL keeps […]

Vincent O’Brien County Handicap Hurdle 2.10pm Run over hurdles Competitive handicap Run over 2 miles so a good position at the start is important and they will go at a fierce pace Your race can be over before it has begun here and it’s not a race that I like to weigh in heavily for. In saying that, there are […]

A GLORIOUS St Patrick’s Day today which started very shakily – Zabana didn’t even get past the tape at the start before Davy Russell was on his chorus and verse. Fair play to Ladbrokes though who gave us our money back in cash. Bravo. The start was a farce and something needs to be done to improve that from the […]

Weatherbys Champion Bumper This race is run on the flat – no hurdles or fences 2 miles Younger horses tend to run in this race before moving on to hurdles races the following year The race has a good record of winners who go on to become good hurdlers and chasers Fiercely competitive stuff with the best of the young […]

Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle 4.50pm Run over 2 miles Only 4 year old horses can enter Aimed principally at juveniles that aren’t quite good enough for the Triumph Hurdle I always find this a tricky race to be confident about my choices, largely because the horses are young in hurdling terms and can improve so much since their last […]

Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase 4.10pm A thorough test of stamina at almost 4 miles with lots of twists and turns Run over a variety of obstacles including hedges, steep banks and Grand National style fences This is a very unique test of stamina and just as importantly, the versatility of the horse’s jumping. The runners meet all sorts of obstacles […]

Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase 3.30pm The pinnacle for 2 mile chasers Won by Dodging Bullets last year Sprinter Sacre and Sire De Grugy also former winners and line up again Un De Sceaux will be favourite A tantalising renewal of the most exciting race at the festival in my view: the best chasers going full pelt over the fences […]
