    2025 TrustATrader Plate Handicap Chase

    A minefield of a race and a lot of them appear to be running as a triumph of hope over experience. One of those is maybe Ginny’s Destiny who would be bang there at his best, which he hasn’t got near this season and he would probably like a bit more juice in the ground.

    2025 Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase

    Just to add Nicholls earlier comments about Caldwell Potter He's on a mark of 147 and I'd say he'll go for the limited handicap chase, which looks the perfect race for him. If he didn't have the [€740,000] price tag people wouldn't be having the debate about him, because he's run okay this...

    2025 Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase

    Firefox runs so consistently at the top level that he deserves his day in the sun (which probably means he doesn’t get it). Is Caldwell Potter running because Cheltenham is what his owners bought him for, or because Nicholls thinks he’s a live chance. Mmm.

    2025 Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle

    I quite like Stencil for this, but I’m also intrigued by Lavender Hill Mob. James Owen has some hot juveniles and reckoned LHM was the best of them, although he hasn’t shown that on the track so far where his performances really don’t merit him being in this.

    2025 Ultima Handicap Chase

    I rarely touch Jonjo’s horses because I never have the faintest idea of what he’s up to. He’s got to be up to something with Crebilly, though, so I’ll take a chance that it’s not to get a few pounds knocked off by running him over the wrong distance! Broadway Boy was very lacklustre last time...

    We’re in the blocks, the starter’s got his gun raised and we’re all a’tremble. The very best of luck everyone, may your accounts explode under the weight of winnings.

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    Having sorted out the winners for tomorrow, I thought I’d have a quick look at Wednesday’s cards. I was shocked to find that the Home Team had only three of the eleven runners in the Turners and NONE AT ALL in the Brown Advisory. This is our flagship meeting for goodness sake - the BHA should be...

    2025 Coral Cup (Handicap Hurdle)

    I was fancying Be Aware, but he’s favourite which is the kiss of death in this - only one favourite has won in the last twenty odd years.

    Champion Hurdle Road ToThread 24/25

    He doesn’t need to be as good, Ian, because his “good” was light years ahead of anything. Nico gave him a slap for the first time at Kempton, but maybe the only thing we don’t know about him is how much he finds under pressure since he’s never been under any. Maybe he’d fold, but I doubt it.

    Constitution Hill will win. With Desert, I filled my boots at 4/1 when the bookies went mad.
