Our pundits’ Epic Cheltenham cheat sheet

L’Eau du Sud was runner up within the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury and County Hurdle at Cheltenham final season. That kind and his debut win over fences final time will do for me.

L’Eau du Sud stands out on kind and was spectacular on debut when successful at Stratford. The drier floor mightn’t be very best, however I count on him to win.

An Arkle trial in identify solely, L’EAU DU SUD is the kind of good-class handicap hurdler his secure virtually routinely flip into even higher chasers and he’s strongly fancied to take the step up in school in his stride and make it 2-2 on this sphere.

L’Eau du Sud and Lookaway set the usual. Each received on their chase debuts and likewise carry the perfect hurdle kind into this contest. L’Eau du Sud simply shades it for me.

L’Eau du Sud was a non-runner lately on good floor and every part suggests he needs it muddy, however, that each one mentioned, offered he turns up he ought to take some beating for Harry and Dan Skelton.

I’m hoping that the category of final season’s Ryanair Chase winner Protektorat will see him via. He’s prime weight but when he will get into a pleasant rhythm, he ought to be capable of hit the locations no less than.

The Paddy Energy Gold Cup seems to be a cracking renewal and Ginny’s Future is brief sufficient out there, so I’ll plump with Think about. An excellent hurdler for Gordon Elliott, he’s nonetheless solely a six-year-old and his again kind in Eire is de facto good. There’s so much to love. He’s my greatest guess of the time off a mark of 154.

GINNY’S DESTINY has the same profile to Stage Star who received this for the Nicholls/Cobden mixture final 12 months and may improve his wonderful Cheltenham file. 2022 winner Ga Legislation is feared most on the again of his positive reappearance second at Chepstow.

I’ve landed on Think about to win and Il Ridoto (each-way). Think about was an costly buy from Eire and may very well be very effectively handicapped over fences. Il Ridoto was third on this race final season however has had a prep run this time. His consistency and course kind ought to see him bang there.

Good floor isn’t a difficulty for Protektorat and whereas it’s not going to be straightforward carrying 12st, he’s very first rate on his day. I’ll have just a few quid on each-way.

The Skelton group are in positive kind and Doyen Quest is ultra-consistent. Stepping up in journey might carry out extra enchancment in him. Irish raider Zeeband may very well be a worth play each-way.

Doyen Quest is simply too constant to disregard. He was crushed at Chepstow on seasonal debut however the third and sixth have received subsequently. He seems to be the one to beat.

DOYEN QUEST who resumed with a superb second in a big-field Chepstow handicap (kind been franked) and nonetheless seems to be forward of his mark with this longer journey additionally a probable plus. Noble Beginning might emerge as the principle hazard .

Gavin Cromwell’s Noble Beginning catches my eye on this wide-open 3m handicap hurdle. He’s been operating over fences however there could also be extra to come back now he reverts to hurdles once more and was fourth on this race final 12 months.

I count on Gowel Highway to have a stable each-way probability. He was sixth within the Remaining of this occasion at Cheltenham in March, however the higher floor now might improve his probability.

Wyenot was spectacular on handicap debut final month and with the dry floor in her favour might nonetheless be effectively handicapped.

Hamsiyann hasn’t received regardless of being backed to take action many occasions. He has good kind on the Flat and may very well be effectively handicapped over hurdles primarily based on that score. There’s been loads of market assist for him once more.

HAMSIYANN was progressive in a handful of begins over hurdles final time period. Unexposed at this journey and interesting as being on a helpful mark, he’s very a lot of curiosity

Hamsiyann has being operating over the flawed journey in my view and the step as much as 2m 5f ought to carry out the advance wanted for him to win. He’s my nap right this moment.

That is the furthest WYENOT (each-way) has gone however  made throughout somewhat shorter at this monitor final time. She’s up 6lb for that success however  may be arduous to go. if she bounces out. Strong each-way claims.
