Betfair Racing Podcasts Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

 Winner £9,105, 2nd £4,186, 3rd £2,093, 4th £1,047, 5th £523, 6th £261

 4yo, 7 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 1m 7f 216y , Chase course – GOOD, Good to soft in places; Hurdle course – GOOD TO SOFT, Good in places (GoingStick: Chase 5.3, Hurdle 4.6)

Melon – 3/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Despite not showing much last time out, this runner has some solid form in the book and could be well-treated off this mark. A step up in performance is needed, but connections clearly believe in his ability. A leading player if bouncing back.

Galactic Charm – 15/2 (Best odds at BetVictor)

This gelding has shown promise but has struggled for consistency. His best efforts have been on testing ground, so conditions could suit. However, he needs to find a bit more to trouble the principals in this contest.

Narragansett – 9/2 (Best odds at bet365)

Progressive in recent outings, this runner arrives in good heart after a convincing success. Handles the trip well and should be competitive once more. A strong contender with further improvement likely.

Midnight Rumble – 8/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

A consistent performer who often runs his race without quite managing to get his head in front. Could be involved if producing his best, though others may have stronger claims for victory.

Lucky Bere – 11/2 (Best odds at bet365)

Has been knocking on the door in recent outings and is expected to be in the mix again. If things fall right, he has a good chance of making the frame and potentially going one better this time.

Risk It All – 5/1 (Best odds at BetVictor)

Another consistent type who has produced respectable efforts of late. The hood is retained, which suggests connections believe it aids his focus. Should be competitive but may find one or two too strong.

Volakes – 16/1 (Best odds at bet365)

An interesting outsider who has shown glimpses of ability. Needs to improve on what he has produced so far, but not entirely ruled out at a bigger price if he finds more.

Verdict

A fascinating contest where Narragansett looks to have strong claims, given his recent form and scope for improvement. Lucky Bere could be a major threat if continuing his consistent run, while Risk It All also commands respect. However, Melon is one to keep an eye on, especially if he bounces back to his best form.

Boxxe ‘Ubique’ Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

 Winner £9,105, 2nd £4,186, 3rd £2,093, 4th £1,047, 5th £523, 6th £261

 5yo+, 4 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 1m 7f 99y , SOFT, Good to soft in places on Chase course; Heavy in places on Hurdle course (GoingStick: Chase 4.5, Hurdle 3.7) (Rail movements: 1.55 +25yds, 3.05

The Kemble Brewery – 9/2 (Best odds at bet365)

A consistent performer who has already notched up multiple wins this season. The step up in class presents a fresh challenge, but his previous form suggests he has the ability to compete at this level. Major player.

Meetmebythesea – 7/2 (Best odds at BetVictor)

Unbeaten in three outings this season and looks to be improving with every run. Carries a hefty weight, but his class could still shine through. Big claims if continuing on an upward trajectory.

Kepler’s Law – 12/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

A progressive type who has won recently and shown promise in decent company. This is his toughest assignment yet, and he will need to step up to make an impact. A lively outsider if he improves again.

Off The Jury – 40/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Has shown glimpses of ability but struggled last time when making a costly jumping error. Would need a much-improved display to feature prominently in a race of this calibre.

George’s Lad – 13/2 (Best odds at Unibet)

Produced a career-best effort to land his most recent contest. The form has been franked, and with further progress likely, he could be a big player here.

Belliano – 4/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Another progressive contender who has been in fine form this term. With a strong stable behind him and a top jockey in the saddle, he holds excellent credentials for a bold bid.

Peso – 18/1 (Best odds at BetVictor)

Lightly raced this season but has shown ability when things have gone his way. Needs to prove he can handle a big-field scenario, but not ruled out if getting the right trip.

It’s Hard To Know – 16/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Won his first two starts this campaign but struggled when raised in grade last time. Needs to bounce back but remains capable of a good showing if rediscovering his earlier form.

Laurens Bay – 20/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Looked progressive before a below-par effort last time out. If he puts that run behind him, he could be competitive off his current mark.

Elysian Knight – 14/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Consistent without being spectacular. Likely to run his race, but whether he has enough to get his head in front is another question. Could sneak into the places.

Not So Woolly – 12/1 (Best odds at BetVictor)

Placed regularly but yet to register a victory this season. Has ability but often finds one too good. A place contender again.

Silver Thorn – 16/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Another who has been knocking on the door without quite getting the breakthrough. Capable of a strong run but will need things to fall right.

Disco Davis – 25/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Showed improvement last time when winning a small-field event but faces a much sterner challenge here. Others look better placed.

Aviation – 33/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Finally got off the mark recently but this is a significant step up in class. Could find things happening too quickly.

Illegal d’Ainay – 40/1 (Best odds at BetVictor)

Lightly raced but has shown potential. Needs to take a big leap forward to be competitive at this level.

Followcato – 25/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Has yet to win over hurdles and will need a career-best performance to have a say here. Looks up against it.

Malinificent – 25/1 (Best odds at BetVictor)

Placed a few times without managing to get his head in front. Needs to find extra to trouble the leading contenders.

Ken Roy – 50/1 (Best odds at bet365)

Has struggled in recent runs and appears to be facing an uphill battle. Needs a significant turnaround in form.

Verdict

This looks to be a highly competitive contest with several strong contenders. Belliano has the right profile for a race like this and could be tough to beat if he continues his progress. Meetmebythesea is an obvious danger given his unbeaten record this season, while George’s Lad is another to consider if his recent victory is a sign of further improvement to come. The Kemble Brewery is a consistent performer and should also be in the mix, but Not So Woolly might be one for the places at a bigger price.

Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide Jane Seymour Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2) (GBB)

 Winner £42,713, 2nd £16,028, 3rd £8,025, 4th £3,998, 5th £2,010, 6th £1,005

 4yo+, 5 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 2m 3f 173y , SOFT, Good to soft in places on Chase course; Heavy in places on Hurdle course (GoingStick: Chase 4.5, Hurdle 3.7) (Rail movements: 1.55 +25yds, 3.05

Holloway Queen – 9/4 (Best odds at bet365)

An exciting prospect who has won both her starts this season with plenty in hand. If she continues on her upward curve, she will be a major player once again.

Blue Las – 6/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Showed her class with a dominant display last time out and is still improving. If handling this step up in grade, she could be a lively contender.

Hollygrove Cha Cha – 11/4 (Best odds at Betvictor)

Has built a strong record with multiple wins this season and was just denied a four-timer last time. Should be right in the mix again if running to her best.

Mummy Derry – 9/2 (Best odds at bet365)

Represents a powerful yard and has been highly consistent. The jump in class is a slight concern, but she should not be underestimated.

That’ll Do Moss – 8/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Has won three of her last four and is clearly improving. Will need to find more against some classier opposition, but she cannot be completely ruled out.

Verdict

Holloway Queen has looked a mare with significant potential and could take another step forward here. Hollygrove Cha Cha is a big danger with her impressive winning record, while Mummy Derry has the ability to get involved despite the rise in grade. Blue Las is another with potential and could make her presence felt.

Team Forces Royal Artillery Gold Cup (A Chase For Military Amateurs) (In Association With Boxxe)

 Winner £7,334, 2nd £3,666, 3rd £1,833, 4th £917, 5th £459, 6th £230

 6yo+, 5 Runners

 Jumps,Turf , 3m 37y , SOFT, Good to soft in places on Chase course; Heavy in places on Hurdle course (GoingStick: Chase 4.5, Hurdle 3.7) (Rail movements: 1.55 +25yds, 3.05

Farceur Du Large – 7/2 (Best odds at bet365)

Has put in a few respectable performances this season, including a runner-up finish last time out. If he maintains that level, he could be a key contender here.

Fil d’Ariane – 3/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Bounced back to winning ways last time and is a proven performer over this distance. If he repeats that effort, he should be right in the thick of things.

Roccovango – 15/8 (Best odds at Betvictor)

Has been in excellent form, winning three of his last four starts. Looks progressive and is a strong contender to continue his winning streak.

Frenchy Du Large – 3/1 (Best odds at bet365)

A consistent performer who has been placed in several competitive races. If he handles conditions well, he could be a big danger.

Steady The Ship – 33/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Struggling for form and looks to have a tough task against stronger opposition. Would be a surprise winner.

Verdict

Roccovango has shown steady improvement and looks well-placed to secure another victory. Frenchy Du Large is a real threat and could push the favourite close, while Fil d’Ariane should be in the mix if he builds on his recent win. Farceur Du Large also has the ability to challenge for a place.

 Jumps,Turf , 1m 7f 216y , SOFT, Good to soft in places on Chase course; Heavy in places on Hurdle course (GoingStick: Chase 4.5, Hurdle 3.7) (Rail movements: 1.55 +25yds, 3.05

Lawrenny – 11/8 (Best odds at bet365)

A solid performer who has already tasted success at this level. Finished runner-up last time but remains a major contender and is expected to go well again.

Jack The Nipper – 25/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Yet to make an impression and will need significant improvement to challenge here. Likely to find a few of these too strong.

Lahinch Strand – 66/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)

Has struggled in previous starts and looks to have plenty to find. A surprise result would be required for him to get involved.

Tradecraft – 11/4 (Best odds at bet365)

Showed promise in bumper races but has yet to fully convince over hurdles. If improving on previous efforts, he could be in contention for a place.

Wannabe – 10/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Making his racecourse debut, so difficult to assess at this stage. Market support could provide clues to his ability.

Le Tiep’s Sacre – 15/8 (Best odds at Betvictor)

Has placed in both starts so far and looks to have potential. With further progress, he could be a strong challenger in this field.

Verdict

Lawrenny brings the strongest form and should be tough to beat, while Le Tiep’s Sacre is a progressive type who could pose the biggest threat. Tradecraft remains an interesting contender if finding improvement, while Wannabe is worth monitoring on debut.

Happy And Fine – 5/1 (Best odds at bet365)

A capable performer at this level, though his form has been somewhat inconsistent. If producing his best, he could be a real threat in this field.

Mylesfromwicklow – 10/1 (Best odds at Unibet)

Has shown promise on occasion but needs to bounce back after a disappointing recent effort. A return to his earlier form would make him a lively outsider.

Jupiter Du Gite – 9/2 (Best odds at Betvictor)

Started the season well but has struggled in his last few appearances. If he can rediscover his earlier form, he could play a big role in this contest.

Es Perfecto – 9/2 (Best odds at bet365)

Produced a strong effort when winning earlier in the season but hasn’t quite matched that level since. Could go close if back to his best.

Classic Anthem – 9/4 (Best odds at Unibet)

Has been running consistently and looks like a solid contender in this lineup. If maintaining his recent form, he will be difficult to beat.

Heros – 8/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)

Has placed in several races without quite getting his head in front. If things go his way, he could sneak into the frame.

Verdict

Classic Anthem has been showing strong form and looks like the one to beat. Es Perfecto could be a major danger if he bounces back to his earlier performances, while Jupiter Du Gite remains an interesting contender if he finds improvement. Happy And Fine also has the ability to make an impact if running to his potential.
