Cheltenham Festival 2023 Day 4 – Looking away from the favourites

2023-01-13T12:21:32+00:00January 13th, 2023|

Cheltenham Day 4 – Friday

In this post, we will identify the top contenders that pose the greatest threat to the favourites in the Day 4 races at the Cheltenham Festival. By analysing various factors such as form, distance, and more, we aim to find reasons why the favourites may not be as strong as their odds suggest and could potentially be beaten by another horse. Our goal is to uncover potential upsets and let’s hope we have a few here!

Triumph Hurdle

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

2023-01-02T18:48:58+00:00January 2nd, 2023|

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.

From the last email we sent

How we’ve go 50/1 about a 20/1 shot in the Cheltenham Gold Cup

It sounds like they are going straight to the […]

What tactics will they go with?

Cheltenham

12:40 Monmiral wins this surely. It should be easy against 2 other rivals who are not as classy. His effort behind Jonbon was probably a very good effort!

1:15 I’m going to side with Gumball here who I think could be going for it. He’s had a run back over fences and actually turned into the straight at Ascot going as well as Thyme White, Before Midnight and Frero Banbou but appeared to get tired late on. Before that his previous start over fences over 2m came in the Grand Annual when sent off just 14/1 off a mark of 140. He disappointed when fading quickly coming to the […]

Cheltenham Festival 2021 – Where Are They Now?

2022-02-11T13:09:52+00:00February 9th, 2022|

Cheltenham Festival 2021 Top 5

Last year this blog highlighted Fakir D’Oudaries who finished 2nd in the Ryanair at a whopping 50/1 as well as some other great runs.

Horses that run well at one Cheltenham Festival generally run well at subsequent Cheltenham Festivals either due to the way the races are run or because connections target a return and here we look at those who finished in the Top 5 of each race of the Cheltenham Festival 2021, the in-running low and where they are now and what the targets could be this season. This year we will be adding a video per race!
