Race Previews
1320 Cheltenham: The Turner's Novices' Hurdle
Unbeaten since April last year, The New Lion has been a revelation for trainer Dan Skelton. He always travels well in his races, jumps economically, and saves a bit for the end.
The Irish bring a particularly strong challenge with Final Demand and The Yellow Clay representing Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott, respectively.
The business end should only concern the front three in the market. Final Demand was impressive in his latest start at Leopardstown and just pips it for us.
SELECTION: Final Demand WIN 9/4 with William Hill
1400 Cheltenham: The Brown Advisory Novices' Chase
The talented Ballyburn leads the market for trainer Willie Mullins although plenty of others present appeal in this renewal of the novice stayer’s championship. Ballyburn’s stable mate Dancing City has been improving through the season although this is a big jump in class.
Better Days Ahead, Gorgeous Tom and Stellar Story all enter each way calculations.
SELECTION: Stellar Story EACH WAY 12/1 with Bet365, William Hill, Bet Victor, Betfred and Boylesports.
1440 Cheltenham: The Coral Cup
All eyes will be on the Dan Skelton trained Langer Dan who aims to win an unprecedented third consecutive Coral Cup.
However, we like the look of Impose Toi who fits a good profile for previous winners, having won at the track and before and being trained by Nicky Henderson who has 4 winners from the last 15 renewals.
SELECTION: Impose Toi EACH WAY 17/2 with William Hill paying 6 places.
1520 Cheltenham: Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase
This gruelling stamina test will sadly be without former winner Delta Work who passed away a few weeks ago.
However, his stable mate Galvin will be there in his twilight years, although main danger is race favourite Stumptown who won the autumn event here narrowly. Very unexposed is French entry Iceo Magik who unseated when going well here back in the autumn.
SELECTION: Iceo Magik EACH WAY 11/1 with Bet365
1600 Cheltenham: The Champion Chase
It is all about Jonbon! The quirky hurdler has transitioned into a smart versatile and battling chaser who has more than banished the memory of his 22-length hiding from Constitution Hill in the 2022 Supreme Novices Hurdle.
Cheltenham is not his ideal hunting ground, and he needs to improve on his Shloer Chase win from last autumn. However, his 5 wins on the bounce including 4 Grade 1s puts him in good stead to oblige here and keep those accumulators ticking.
Dangers are Solness and former winner Energumene if he is back to his best.
SELECTION: Jonbon WIN 10/11 with William Hill and Bet Victor
