Glancing Jack remains unexposed over hurdles, especially in handicaps, and he beat a subsequent winner when landing a Hereford maiden hurdle. Second to Grade 1 winner Storming George on handicap debut, there should be plenty more to come from him.
Irish raider King’s Bucks wasn’t too far behind No Drama This End in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at this meeting last year and a similar effort would put him in the mix here. He finished second at Galway on his chasing debut and should be sharper this time around.
Gidleigh Park isn’t the easiest to train but he’s a smart performer on his day and also managed to land the Grade 2 Lightning Novices’ Chase a couple of seasons ago. Finishing second behind Impaire Et Passe at Aintree after that, he’s capable of coming out on top here.
Outlaw Peter returned to form towards the end of last season and was a comfortable winner of the series final at Haydock in April. Third in a good handicap when last seen, this race looks a little easier and the handicapper has dropped him 1lb since.
Irish point winner Ferocimo was a six-figure purchase and he looked very smart when winning as he liked at Fontwell on his first start under rules. The step up in grade won’t be an issue on that evidence and he looks like an exciting prospect this term.
Tuppence is progressive of late and she got off the mark with an impressive handicap success at Ayr in April, before following up in novice company at Kelso last month. A Mark of 112 looks workable and she’s one to keep on side until her limitations are exposed.
Brucejack was a comfortable winner over 3m2f at Down Royal back in April and he was a fair third behind Intense approach at the same track last time out. The stiff test of stamina will suit the nine-year-old and he’s definitely capable of running a big race.
James Owen does very well in the juvenile hurdle division and Charles Darnay made an excellent start to his hurdling career, when landing a Listed contest at Wetherby by a comfortable margin. He’s entitled to progress and could be one to watch this season.
Kabral Du Mathan was very good over hurdles last season and looked like the best horse in the Stayers’ Hurdle but just failed to see out the trip. His chasing debut at Perth was extremely impressive and he has a fitness advantage over Old Park Star here.
Ben Pauling’s Meetmebythesea landed the Jack Richards Novices’ Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival with plenty in hand last term and the form has been boosted by the runner-up. He could develop into a Ryanair type and he has the ideal profile for this race.
Geezer Rockstar turned a corner in the spring and he followed up his win at Wincanton in April with an impressive victory in Class 2 company at Uttoxeter the following month. He could still be ahead of the handicapper, despite an 8lb rise, and is worth keeping on side for now.
Daylatedollarshort remains lightly raced over hurdles and Olly Murphy’s five-year-old was last seen winning the Silver Trophy at Chepstow in October. The handicapper has responded with an 8lb rise but the gelding has been dropped in grade and is well set to follow up.
Gypsy Sky shouldn’t be underestimated here, despite a significant step up in class. The daughter of Jack Hobbs is related to several winners and she got the job done well on debut at Stratford last month. She’s entitled to step forward and can run a big race if doing so.

Situated in the picturesque county of Gloucestershire at Prestbury Park, Cheltenham hosts some of the best jump racing in the UK and is one of the most famous National Hunt venues in the world. We have tips for every meeting which always attracts an abundance of quality, from their opening Showcase Meeting in October, to the final race day in April. Cheltenham boasts a plethora of graded contests throughout the season with 14 at the highest level at the famous festival in March, known as ‘The Greatest Show On Turf’.
Course: There are two tracks at Cheltenham, the Old Course and the New Course. They are both left-handed, testing circuits with the former a mile and a half and the latter half a furlong longer. The hurdles tracks are quite different as on the New Course, there are only two hurdles in the final seven furlongs which makes it more a test of stamina. At the Festival, the Old Course is used on the first two days with the New Course playing host the final couple of days.
Feature Meeting: The Cheltenham Festival is undoubtedly the highlight of the National Hunt season. With four days packed with championship race after championship race, it’s a racing lover’s dream. We provide high-quality Cheltenham tips as well as detailed analysis for every race at the Festival.
Our Cheltenham Festival tips will be posted in the weeks and months before the Festival, focusing initially on the biggest races with the strongest form lines. All our Cheltenham Festival racing tips will be posted as early as possible, although the nature of horse racing declarations means that some (mainly the handicaps) can only be posted the afternoon or evening before.
We make our predictions as a team; each of our expert tipsters spends hours, if not days, researching every race and watching every race in the lead up to the big event. These tips are then discussed in a committee, with the strongest picks for each race being selected as our official Cheltenham Festival tips.
We will have Cheltenham Festival betting tips for every one of the twenty-eight races, with full runner by runner previews as well as the best Cheltenham Festival free bets being offered by the bookmakers.

There are many ways you can place a bet at Cheltenham, whether during the Festival or any other meetings. Below is a list of how to bet on Cheltenham:
Directly on myracing with our partners. With myracing you will be able to access a range of betting partners to place an online bet with one-click betslips from our integrated partners.
Online betting with the bookmakers. Probably the most popular and common formality to bet on the races at the Cheltenham Festival. All you need to do is sign up with a bookmaker, pick your horse by its number, choose what stake you want to put down and what bet you want to place.
Tote Betting. Instead of the bookmakers offering you odds and prices for each horse per race, the Tote will offer you a pooled bet. This means that they will pool the money together for any given race and share this amongst customers with the winning tickets. These pool bets can be done for a single race or across various races with bets such as a Placepot or Scoop6.
Bet On-Course. Betting the good old fashioned way still appeals to some punters. Some of positives include shopping around for the best price on the track, being able to assess racing conditions with your own eyes and, let’s face it, who doesn’t love taking cash right out of the bookies satchels and putting it straight into their own pocket? The negatives are that the majority of these bookmakers do not offers key incentives such as price boosts, best odds guaranteed and extra places, all of which are essential to the every day bettor. The lack of markets compared to the online betting industry, such as ‘to place’ and ‘betting without the fav’, is also another reason that will put off a large number of people betting at the course on the day.
