Cheltenham's Final day Tips

 There's been some good racing this week, let's hope that the final day gives some more excitement and hopefully a few surprises. I'm looking forward to the Gold Cup very much and I think it will be excited. 

1:20- For a bet to win I would pick Tritonic. But as an outsider I have to go for the 50/1 shot Talking About You. 

1:55- As an each way bet I'd have to go for Petit Mouchoir with weight being taken out by using the 7lb claimer, this will only be to the horses advantage. I also really like Champagne Gold, it's really hard to bet against Rachael Blackmore after her form this week. 

2:30- Here I have the 16/1 shot that has come in from 25/1 from Paul Nicholls yard- Threeundertrufive. But favourite Stattler will be hard to beat. 

3:05- I hope that Al Boum Photo continues his winning streak from last year. However, Champ does have a fair shot.  

3:40- Chameron although he's not close in the betting has a chance of being placed alongside Salvatore.  

4:15- I think the favourite Elimay will be a tough one to beat but I can't offer any outsiders for a worthwhile bet. 

4:50- I would love to see a female jockey win here- this being either Page Fuller on First Lord De Cuet or Millie Wonnacott with Fabulous Saga. But again here I am not too sure. 

Chelts picks Wednesday and Thursday

 These are my Chelts day two and three picks- again we have some small fields but I'm sure that there will be some exciting races. The ground has gone even softer which I'm sure will benefit some horses. For Wednesday and Thursday I do not have picks for every race, however I do have horses who do not think will win. 

1:20- In this I find it hard to see Bob Olinger getting beaten. Team of Henry De Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore should put up a great competition on day two. I clearly see Rachael at least winning one race this Cheltenham. 

1:55- Again this is a race for the favourite's Monkfish is going to into this off strong form and near perfect performances. But this does make it bad for betting. 

2:30- For this I do have an outsider he's a 16/1 shot- Thomas Derby. A recent dip in form shouldn't count him out and I do see him being placed. To strengthen his chance he is a course winner.  

3:05- Politologue for me is a no brainer in this race everything seems to me is in his favour and I am very confident that he will be placed. 

3:40- In this race I'm not too sure on what the winner will be but I can only say that I do NOT think that Tiger Roll will win. His recent form has been anything but great- this makes me less than confident in him. But I do think it will be an interesting race to see if he has his normal skill back. 

4:15- Again in this race I'm not sure it seems like a narrow race between the two swirling favourites of Sky Pirate and Embittered. In this race I can see there being an upset to the the favourites. 

4:50- Super Six is a fairly big outsider but the lower weight should work in his favour. The ground will be getting sticky at this point which shouldn't bother him. 

Thursday- This is the edited version due to horses being pulled. 

1:20- Envoi Allen doesn't look beatable here but the odds aren't for betting. 

1:55- There's two horses in this that I am really surprised by their odds. I think Champagne Platinum and Brinkley both have a shout in this race. The bigger field means that both these horses can get cover and more surprise outcomes will happen. 

2:30- Min should be tough to beat but as an outsider I would go for Kalashnikov. He will give you a nice each way bet. 

3:05- I have a good feeling about Flooring Partner who should benefit from the ground changing form and by this point a little bit tacky.  

3:40- I think Two Taffs will be a wild card this year. His form and distance wins only add to my belief he will be placed. Here the Shunter should be hard to beat ultimately.

4:15- My picks for this one seem a big peculiar being Allavina but this is alongside second favourite Roseys Hollow.   

4:50- Again I'm not too sure here nothing is screaming out to me in this- not a betting one for me. 

My Cheltenham Day One picks

 On the first day of Cheltenham the fields have me rather disappointed. There's a desire to increase the number of races but there's races with only six horses in. It's not as exciting as normal but it doesn't mean the quality of horses and the racing isn't top notch. 

1:20 - For me it really is a two horse race being between Appreciate It and Ballyadam. These two have great form and even love the ground. I think this will give the audience a Supreme Novices' Hurdle to remember. 

1:55- For me I struggle to contemplate Shishkin not winning this. The betting isn't great with Shishkin but the odds show how strong of a competitor he is. 

14:30- In this I have picked out a wild card, this bet is an outsider. Vintage Clouds has reasonable form on this ground. Also after a recent wind surgery he seems to have picked up his form and after his prior wind op the performances picked up. My other pick would be Alnadam for the Skelton partnership. The softer ground should be in his favour. 

15:05- It seems like Goshen and Honeysuckle will both be near favourites and they will pose a huge threat to the rest of the field and will be hard to beat. For an outside bet Sharjah from Willie Mullins yard. This horse should suit the ground and the distance and I think the two favourites will set the pace Sharjah needs to come through horses to win. 

15:40- Here I think that My Sister Sarah really has an opportunity, it's clear that the distance won't be a problem for her. Her trainer Willie Mullins has notorious form in the Mare's Hurdle and I think it will be one of his mares to win this year too. 

16:15- Balko Saint not only has the form, he has also performed well at Chelts before, this little bit of experience on the track is only to his advantage. Houx Gris might go favourite but has more than a fair chance with consistent form and you can't go far wrong having Harry Cobden riding.

16:50- I have two picks here Remastered and Soldier Of Love both of these are outsiders so could easily be each way bets. Remastered should do well as long as he can finish strong and Soldier Of Love has the jockey-training combination of Paul Nicholls and Bryony Frost- they will be tough to beat.  

Have any picks that you think I should know about let me know!
