DAY THREE TIPS
MICK FITZGERALD
• 13:30 Turners Novices’ Chase, 2m 4f
Joseph O’Brien’s BANBRIDGE is 2 from two at Cheltenham. He gained the Martin Pipe Conditionals’ H’cap H’dle final 12 months and that kind could be very strong.
• 14:10 Pertemps Community Hurdle, 3m
The quicker they go the higher he seems to be and CAPT MORGS has profitable kind on the monitor. He seems to be an excellent each-way play.
• 14:50 Ryanair Chase, 2m 4f
I am an enormous SHISKIN fan. There is a concern in regards to the ‘bounce’ issue however I believe he can underperform and nonetheless win the Ryanair Chase.
- 15:30 Paddy Energy Stayers’ Hurdle, 3m
HOME BY THE LEE actually seems to be the most secure choice within the Paddy Energy Stayers’ Hurdle in what’s a trappy race. He is improved in leaps and bounds this season.
1. Residence By The Lee
2. Gold Tweet
3. Flooring Porter
• 16:10 The Plate H’cap Chase, 2m 4f
This seems to be the right alternative for FRERO BANBOU (each-way) to do exactly in addition to final 12 months when positioned within the Grand Annual. Stepping as much as 2m 4f should not be a problem. So Scottish is the massive hazard.
• 16:50 Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle, 2m
It is a excellent mare. Nico de Boinville was very eager on this one operating within the Supreme Novices Hurdle that tells you ways good they imagine she is. I believe LUCCIA (NAP) will win right here, particularly on this monitor because it places much less stress on her leaping which is a slight weak spot.
• 17:30 Kim Muir Handicap Chase, 3m 2f
Patrick Mullins rides the highest weight MR INCREDIBLE who has some actually good back-form. This 3m 2f journey seems to be tailored for him.
Residence By The Lee has improved this season and may very well be a protected choice within the Stayers’ Hurdle
RUBY WALSH
- 13:30 Turners Novices’ Chase, 2m 4f
MIGHTY POTTER might be the very best horse however I gained’t be stunned if Recognize It (each-way) turns up and offers him an enormous fright. It seems to be a match and I will even go for the forecast of Mighty Potter to beat Recognize It.
- 14:10 Pertemps Community Hurdle, 3m
I’ve no opinion right here and I am not going to offer you a horse for the sake of supplying you with a horse. Let’s transfer on.
- 14:50 Ryanair Chase, 2m 4f
It seems to be prefer it’s SHISHKIN’s race to lose.
- 15:30 Paddy Energy Stayers’ Hurdle, 3m
An enormous day for Davy Russell and the softer the bottom the higher his probability on TEAHUPOO. I am unable to see the bottom drying up sufficient for Residence By The Lee.
- 16:10 The Plate H’cap Chase, 2m 4f
The step up in journey goes to swimsuit Irish raider So Scottish however also needs to swimsuit FRERO BANBOU (each-way) who will recognize the softer floor.
- 16:50 Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle, 2m
LOT OF JOY is the win choice on the costs however do not low cost HALKA DU TARBERT each-way.
- 17:30 Kim Muir Handicap Chase, 3m 2f
STUMPTOWN was actually good at Sandown and he’ll be onerous to beat. He is my nap of the day.
Jane Mangan believes Mighty Potter is the very best of this 12 months’s crop of novice chasers
JANE MANGAN
- 13:30 Turners Novices’ Chase, 2m 4f
I imagine this 12 months’s crop of novice chasers to be a robust group, with Gordon Elliott’s MIGHTY POTTER to be the highest of that group. I can’t look previous him to get us off to a flyer.
- 14:10 Pertemps Community Hurdle, 3m
My concept of the winner is MAXXUM who has progressed into a correct stayer this season. He may need 11st12lbs to hold however the truth that connections have determined to not declare off him suggests they’ve confidence in his skill
- 14:50 Ryanair Chase, 2m 4f
SHISHKIN allow us to down final 12 months within the Champion Chase however he had legitimate excuses. He regarded again to close his greatest at Ascot final time and the step up in distance will swimsuit.
- 15:30 Paddy Energy Stayers’ Hurdle, 3m
My vote goes to TEAHUPOO. His Hatton’s Grace efficiency was prime drawer and he proved that the three miles journey wasn’t a problem at Gowran Park final time. An ideal companion for Day Russell.
- 16:10 The Plate H’cap Chase, 2m 4f
SO SCOTTISH was simply denied by Boothill at Ascot on his newest run however stays open to additional development for the group that produced The Shunter to win this in 2021.
- 16:50 Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle, 2m
Nicky Henderson and LUCCIA may cease the may of Mullins on this event. This mare was thought of for the Supreme Novices Hurdle in opposition to the geldings however reverts to her personal intercourse.
- 17:30 Kim Muir Handicap Chase, 3m 2f
With the advantage of Barry O’Neill and a workable mark of 135 STUMPTOWN has been my fancy for this race ever since he destroyed an excellent subject at Sandown final month.
Paddy Energy says Blazing Khal shall be onerous to beat within the Stayers’ Hurdle on Thursday
PADDY POWER
- 13:30 Turners Novices’ Chase, 2m 4f
It’s troublesome to get away from MIGHTY POTTER with the one adverse being his run on the competition final 12 months. A copy of his Drinmore or Dublin Racing Competition wins shall be sufficient right here.
- 14:10 Pertemps Community Hurdle, 3m
SALVARDOR ZIGGY could have prime weight however he has a good 7lb claimer easing the burden. He’s utterly unexposed at three miles and has been turned inside out since becoming a member of Gordon Elliott and appears to have strong each-way claims.
- 14:50 Ryanair Chase, 2m 4f
SHISHKIN bounced again to his greatest final time and can win if repeating that stage right here. I wouldn’t be stunned if FRENCH DYNAMITE hit the body at rewarding odds.
- 15:30 Paddy Energy Stayers’ Hurdle, 3m
If BLAZING KHAL is 100% right here I totally anticipate him to take all of the beating.
- 16:10 The Plate H’cap Chase, 2m 4f
FUGITIF has improved with each begin this season and regardless of a 6lb rise for his shut 2nd right here on
trials day, I believe he nonetheless has scope off his mark and is an every means worth.
- 16:50 Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle, 2m
LOT OF JOY has enormous skill on the flat and he or she ran into two good horses on her first two begins
over hurdles. Again in in opposition to mares, she may take loads of stopping.
- 17:30 Kim Muir Handicap Chase, 3m 2f
BEAUPORT seems to be very properly handicapped right here off a mark of 143 & has first rate each-way claims.
