Dan Skelton and the Handicap Hurdles

Dan Skelton has 3 horses that could all have leading chances in the 3 handicap hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival over 2m and 2 1/2 mile. Here Liam looks at which race he feels each should be in.

Langer Dan

Langer Dan has twice been to the Cheltenham Festival in the Martin Pipe Conditionals Jockey Handicap Hurdle. In 2021 after winning the Imperial Cup he finished 2nd behind Galopin Des Champs. Looking at how the winner has done since, strongly suggested that Langer Dan had simply bumped into one and it was no surprise to see him back in 2022. Off […]

Zarak The Brave was impressive on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse before stepping up to Grade 3 company and bumping into Lossiemouth. I think Lossiemouth wins […]

Some Early 2023 Targets for Eyecatchers

New Years Day targets

Minella Indo won at Tramore beating Stattler and is arguably no longer the ‘forgotten horse’ of the Gold Cup. Form at the Cheltenham Festival read 1212 and he was a whopping 40/1 for the Gold Cup before yesterday. I highlighted that a 50/1 double winning at Tramore and the Gold Cup was a good bet and we now have 50/1 about a 20/1 shot who is likely to go straight for the Gold Cup.
