Liam’s Cheltenham Festival Thoughts for Day 1

Here are Liam’s thoughts for Day 1 at the Cheltenham Festival. It’s always worth going through all horses (even if you don’t fancy them) and writing down some notes about them. Sometimes a horse you didn’t fancy starts looking appealing and some that you thought would run well don’t look as appealing.

All Cheltenham Festival Selections from Liam

Liam has been busy this year spotting those who he really likes for Cheltenham Festival races and he and our members are in great positions for plenty of races including having advised Discorama for the Ultima Handicap Chase at 33/1. To see all of his […]

Betfair Hurdle – Saturday 8th February – Can JP win it again?

This weekend sees the Betfair Hurdle return to Newbury after it was run at Ascot last year due to the Equine Influenza outbreak.

Both Get Me Out Of Here and My Tent Or Yours were owned by JP McManus whilst he has also had Bleu Et Rouge, Movewiththetimes, Alaivan and Waxies Dargle run good races in recent years.

This year he has 3 possible entries […]

In part 2 of our Cheltenham Preview we look at the Novice Chases at the Cheltenham Festival and hope we have identified a few decent bets.

Douvan who the Supreme Novices hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival heads the market for this race and his form can hardly be knocked having had 3 runs over fences and the closest any horse has got was when Rogue Trader finished 9 ½ lengths behind in 2nd with Douvan not coming out of 2nd gear. He then easily won the Grade 1 Novice Chase beating Sizing John who had previously won twice over fences and 2nd in the Supreme Novices at Cheltenham. Douvan then scared […]
