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