The primary race at Cheltenham on Sunday is an fascinating little maiden hurdle. I’m wanting on the horses entered and pondering ‘truly, they’re not superstars’ once I see the entrance two within the betting. They’re all fairly uncovered already.
You’ve received a 120-rated horse in Whimsy, who most likely deserves to be favorite coming over from Eire for the Anthony McCann crew and needs to be revered after a very good run in Galway.
However I simply really feel like Maghlaak is absolutely fascinating right here. He was an honest horse on the extent when owned by Hamdan Al-Maktoum’s Shadwell Property and Adrian Keatley’s been having a terrific season together with his flat horses and his jumpers. With Brian Hughes booked to experience, Maghlaak might be the one at a worth.
That is one in all my strongest alternatives for the day. I actually love Peaky Boy for Nicky Henderson. His horses are hitting high gear and I like the best way this horse has jumped at dwelling.
Matata went up a bit bit within the weights for getting overwhelmed by Calico final day trip and he truly meets him 1lb higher than when taking place by a neck then. I didn’t suppose Matata jumped at his greatest that day and I’m keen to provide him one other probability.
One other good handicap steeplechase right here. It’s the kind of race that you just go can via again and again and get your self wound in a knot, however I simply really feel Surrey Quest, with solely 10st 9lb on his again, might be a little bit of worth.
He’s solely a seven-year-old and might be on the enhance. He was overwhelmed by a nostril within the Scottish Grand Nationwide and was once educated by Nicky Henderson. He’s now with Toby Lawes, a former Henderson assistant, and is my choose in a difficult little contest.
Dysart Enos might be chucked in right here on a few of her greatest type however this’ll be a bit little bit of a distinct take a look at to what she’s used to. That’s a little bit of a priority.
With Burdett Street, in the event you seemed on the outcomes on Monday and noticed this horse had received you wouldn’t be shocked. He’s solely a four-year-old, he’s most likely received loads sufficient weight and it may be troublesome for him, however I really feel he’s probably the most fascinating one in an enormous subject.
As a result of there’s so many runners I believe I’m allowed an each-way choice too.
Go Dante might be of curiosity for the Olly Murphy crew. He has run in some large handicap hurdles and is an honest worth.
On the final assembly right here I tipped up Block Rockin Beats and he received for us at 14/1. I don’t see any cause to not go together with him once more. I do know he solely beat Fortune De Mer by half-a-length and he’s a bit bit worse off with that horse now. On the similar time, I like the best way this horse did it and I’m sticking with him.
