‘Underestimate him at your peril’ – One big-price tip for each day at Cheltenham
The four days that every National Hunt racing fan has been waiting for will soon be upon us, as the Cheltenham Festival kicks off on Tuesday. We’ve got some truly excellent clashes to look forward to across the meeting and the racing will be thoroughly competitive. Sometimes the favourites fail to fire and an outsider springs a surprise, so we’ve picked out one tip at a huge price for each day of the Festival. Check out our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.
McCoy Contractors Juvenile Handicap Hurdle
Klycot (25/1, bet365) has the right kind of profile in this race and would be considerably shorter if trained by a bigger name trainer. Richard Bandey’s four-year-old defied a penalty in good style at Wetherby last time out and the switch to handicaps will suit him.
BetMGM Cup
Beckett Rock (50/1, bet365) was a fair sixth in this very race last year and if you take the impressive winner out of the race, he wouldn’t have been beat far at all. It’s definitely noteworthy that Henry de Bromhead’s gelding would be running off a 1lb lower mark this time, so underestimate him at your peril.
Jack Richards Novices’ Handicap Chase
The Enabler (33/1, bet365) may have been unfairly overlooked by the market here. A mark of 140 looks very workable on the evidence of his impressive win at Fairyhouse earlier on in the season and he has run well enough in graded company since. Handicaps should be much more suitable.
Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
Forty Coats (33/1, bet365) won a nice race to finish fourth in the Turners Novices’ Hurdle here last season but he remains a maiden over hurdles. A return to that sort of form would surely give Henry de Bromhead’s seven-year-old every chance and he’s capable of outrunning these odds.
