Cheltenham Festival 2020: Day Four Preview, Tips It's Friday 13th, Gold Cup Day, the last of four glorious afternoons in the Cotswolds for the 2020 Cheltenham Festival. As well as the Blue Riband itself, there are further Grade 1's in the form of the Triumph and Albert Bartlett Hurdles, devilish handicaps and a hunter chase! […]
Tuesday's pick was... 3.15 Sedgefield : Roxyfet @ 9/2 BOG 2nd at 11/4 (Held up and behind, good headway on outside chasing leaders 4 out, 2nd 2 out, ridden and stayed on run-in, always held) Wednesday's pick runs in the... 1.55 Lingfield : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how […]
Cheltenham Festival 2020: Day 3 Preview, Tips The second two quarters are upon us and, for many, the weakest day, from a quality perspective, is Thursday, Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival. But last year was a sizzler with that brilliant Frodon Ryanair and the equally emotional Paisley Park Stayers' Hurdle. Both are back to […]
Monday's pick was... 5.40 Wolverhampton : Nezar @ 7/1 BOG 9th at 11/1 (Took keen hold, prominent, lost place over 1f out) : got that one very wrong. Tuesday's pick runs in the... 3.15 Sedgefield : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Generally, I'll identify […]
Cheltenham Festival 2020: Day Two Preview, Trends, Tips One down, three to go. Days of the 2020 Cheltenham Festival, that is. 21 more races yet to unfold, seven of them on day two, the highlight of which looks sure to be a mouthwatering clash in the Champion Chase. We'll get to that in due course; […]

Saturday's pick was... 4.15 Ayr : Emma Beag @ 4/1 BOG 2nd at 11/4 (Held up mid-division, tracked leaders after 6th, challenged 3 out, soon ridden, kept on and every chance last, but no extra on flat) Monday's pick runs in the... 5.40 Wolverhampton : Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder […]
Cheltenham Festival 2020: Day One Preview, Tips It's been wet wet wet and, apart from the state of the turf, the ongoing coronavirus saga had rendered day one an on/off 'sweet little mystery' in its own right for a while but, at this stage at least, it looks as though we're a go on ground […]
It was a consistent, if frustrating start to the new month, as after a fourth place finish on Monday, the next five picks all made the frame. The frustration came in the form of just one winning, whilst three finished as runners-up. Thankfully, we got on the winner at 4/1 to keep the losses small, […]
