Hi all,
Really sorry for the delay this morning. I had some serious Windows 10 issues to resolve.
Cheltenham
1:30 – Vauban – 15/8 @ William Hill – Looks the one to be with after his recent Grade 1 Leopardstown success. The selection could be a special and could be a Group horse on the level.
4:10 – Winged Leader – 11/2 @ William Hill & Bet365 – A multiple point and hunter chase winner, looks to have improved plenty this season as evidenced by his comfortable seasonal return win in a Thurles hunter chase in January. He’s a sound jumper of a fence and given he’s only an 8-year-old we may not have seen the best of him in the sphere.
4:50 – Concertista – 4/1 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – A chance is taken with the novice who made it 2-2 over fences when winning a Grade 2 mares’ only novices chase at Limerick over Christmas. The 8-year-old was successful in the Mares novices’ hurdle at the 2020 festival and finished runner-up the Mares Hurdle last season. Given she’s only had two starts over fences she’s capable of better and could find the improvement necessary to win.
Cheers
John
