Cheltenham Festival trainer quotes for Tuesday including Champion Hurdle, Sky Bet Supreme & Sporting Life Arkle



1.30 Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle

Nicky Henderson has high hopes either Constitution Hill or Jonbon can give Britain a flying start to the Festival by winning the opening Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham.

The Seven Barrows handler has always wanted to pitch them against each other to give the home team the best possible chance of foiling the Irish in the curtain raiser.

Both horses take unbeaten records over hurdles to the meeting, but in character they are polar opposites.

“It was always the plan to run them both but they are like cheese and chalk,” said Henderson.

“Jonbon will always be a bit flighty, it’s probably a help he’s in the first race and we’ll have ways and means of hopefully keeping the lid on him because he’ll be the one on his toes. We’ll protect him from the atmosphere.

“Nothing will worry Constitution Hill, he’s just so laid back. They will be two very good rides in the race. While Jonbon can be a bit keen in the race, there’s no danger of that for Constitution Hill!

“Jonbon had a proper race at Haydock, but he quickened up twice in horrible ground which I was pleased with. By running Constitution Hill again, I was never going to find a competitive race. There wasn’t anywhere else to go where you were going to get more than four or five runners (like in the Tolworth).”

Henderson compares both to his last two winners of the race, who went on to greater things.

“I think they are both very strong. Like Altior and Shishkin, you would like to think they are in their sort of league,” he went on.

“It is always the best race to win on the whole card to be honest with you. We want to see England 1 Ireland 0. It is nice to have two, as two is better than one.

“They have done everything right and I hope all goes well. There is no doubt Willie’s (Mullins) are good, but our job is to mind our own horses.”

Mullins, who has won the Supreme on a record seven occasions, has his own powerful hand, with Dysart Dynamo, Kilcruit and Bring On The Night all in contention.

Dysart Dynamo disputes favouritism with Constitution Hill following his runaway victory in the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle, while last season’s Champion Bumper runner-up Kilcruit made it third time lucky over hurdles on his latest outing and appears to be coming into form at the right time.

“Dysart Dynamo was very free the last day in front, but I think Paul (Townend, jockey) has said to me on more than one occasion that when he settles behind a horse he’s fine,” said Mullins.

“Kilcruit jumps well enough, so everything would seem right for him. He handles the track well and you’d think the horse who finished second in the Bumper could go for the two-and-a-half-mile race really, but I’m not sure that would suit him.”

The Gordon Elliott-trained Mighty Potter is another leading hope for the Irish, having been kept fresh for Cheltenham since winning in Grade One company at Leopardstown over Christmas.

Joey Logan, racing manager to owners Caldwell Construction Ltd, said: “I think he’s the forgotten horse of the race, to be honest. His work in the last four to six weeks has been very smart.

“He’s a big horse and a chaser in the making, but he’s got stronger since Christmas and I think he’s going to run a very big race.

“It’s a very competitive race, obviously. You’ve got Nicky’s horses and Willie’s. But take nothing away from Mighty Potter, who has won a Grade One and is unlucky not to have won two Grade Ones (close third in Royal Bond at Fairyhouse).

“Gordon did a fantastic job keeping at home instead of running at the Dublin Racing Festival as it’s freshened him up. If he gets into a nice rhythm with his jumping and comes around the bend in second or third, I think he has a serious chance coming up the hill.”

Paul Nicholls’ Silent Revolution has not been seen since early November due to a setback and is among the outsiders.

“He is a useful prospect who won well on his debut over hurdles at Newbury in November before having a little problem with a splint which prevented us giving him another run before Cheltenham,” Nicholls told Betfair.

“But he has done plenty at home and enjoyed an away day at Wincanton where he worked nicely. Obviously we are pitching Silent Revolution into a hot race but we are game to give it a go.”


2.10 Sporting Life Arkle

Alan King feels Edwardstone can cap a fine season as he seeks a fifth successive win in the Sporting Life Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham.

The Barbury Castle handler has always rated the eight-year-old highly and he has justified that faith this season with the Grade One Henry VIII Novices’ Chase at Sandown among his four victories.

“He is now relaxing much better which is probably a combination of what those races and a fence have done. I think we are now seeing him fulfil the potential we always thought he had,” said King.

“I was a bit nervous going into Sandown as it was his third fairly quick run, but there was nothing else for him so we decided to roll the dice. He came out of the Warwick race in good order and Sandown was very pleasing. The time was very good compared to the Tingle Creek.

“We thought we might wait until the Kingmaker but he came out of it really well so we slotted in Kempton at Christmas, which I’m glad we did. He then had a proper break and we thought Warwick was perfect timing-wise between now and Cheltenham.”

Alan King | 2022 Cheltenham Festival Stable Tour

King has won the Arkle twice with Voy Por Ustedes (2006) and My Way De Solzen (2007) and feels Edwardstone can emulate that duo.

“Voy Por Ustedes and My Way De Solzen were different types to Edwardstone,” he went on.

“Voy Por Ustedes on ability wasn’t the greatest I’ve ever had, but he was incredibly tough and he loved a battle. He won an Arkle and a Queen Mother through guts as opposed to sheer ability. My Way De Solzen was probably a more talented horse but a little bit more fragile mentally. We’ve had Edwardstone from the beginning and brought him through the bumper route and crept along quietly whereas the other two, while they hadn’t run much, had already run before coming to us.

“What you do want in the Arkle is a horse that gets the trip and we know he does exactly that. He is a big, fine horse and he is actually bred to be a three-miler to be honest with you. As soon as we started to do some proper work with him, we thought this has got some speed. He has since backed that up by his performances on the track.

“He has been around Sandown and Warwick is a great test and if you go well around there, you go well around most places.

“He has run well around Cheltenham in a County Hurdle and a Greatwood Hurdle. We probably couldn’t ride him at his best those days as we had to drop him right out to get him to settle, so he had a lot of ground to make up. Now you can ride him just behind the pace, so I’ve no reason to think why he wouldn’t handle going over fences at Cheltenham.”

War Lord was beaten 16 lengths by Edwardstone at Sandown, but Joe Tizzard expects him to put up a good show on the back of his victory at Lingfield in his only run since.

“He’s a good, solid jumper and good traveller who gets two and a half miles. He could run a big race,” said the assistant to his father, Colin.

“We’d be doing well to reverse the form with Edwardstone, but you should never be afraid of one horse and he’s earned his place there. He’s definitely improved all season and he has a live each-way chance.”

Willie Mullins is responsible for three of the top five in the betting, Blue Lord, Saint Sam and Haut En Couleurs, but stable jockey Paul Townend had no hesitation in plumping for Irish Arkle winner Blue Lord.

He told his Ladbrokes blog: “Blue Lord has a good chance in the Arkle. That said, there’s a lot of horses in here with good chances. My horse was very closely matched with Riviere D’etel at Leopardstown. We are slightly better off in the weights now with her.

“I think Edwardstone deserves to be favourite, but our lad is improving. He kept good company over hurdles, chasing has improved him and he will be there in the mix.

“Haut En Couleurs and Saint Sam will have to jump better, so I am happy to be on Blue Lord. He is a Grade One winner and I would say between him and the mare (Riviere D’etel) there’s only the difference of a jump in it. If I can get by Edwardstone, it will be a close finish.”


3.30 Unibet Champion Hurdle

Honeysuckle could go off the shortest price since Istabraq won the last of his three titles in 2000 when she defends her Unibet Champion Hurdle crown at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

Aidan O’Brien’s legendary performer was 8-15 when completing his big-race hat-trick. Honeysuckle is 8-13 with many bookmakers which is a shade shorter than Buveur D’Air, who was 4-6 when winning for a second time in 2018.

Henry de Bromhead’s mare is unbeaten in 14 starts under rules, with her 10 Grade One victories including three Irish Champion Hurdles and last year’s success in the Cheltenham feature.

“I suppose on ratings it possibly is her biggest test so far, but it’s as you’d expect this race to be. It’s really competitive and there’s some great horses in there – much like last year,” said De Bromhead.

“I’ve been told that Honeysuckle could go off as the shortest-priced Champion Hurdle favourite this century, but I had no idea. It’s probably more pressure in that of course you want her to win, but it’s like with any of them, you want them to run their best race.

“It would be unbelievable stuff if she could win again – there’s not many that can win two Champion Hurdles, so it would be incredible. Her unbeaten run is amazing but all we can do is get her there as well as we possibly can and then hope we have a bit of luck, and that it all goes well.”

Epatante, winner in 2020, bids to emulate Hurricane Fly, in 2011 and 2013, by regaining her crown.

Nicky Henderson’s charge was third to Honeysuckle in both Cheltenham and Punchestown Champion Hurdles last spring but has done nothing wrong in her two starts this winter, dead-heating for first place in the Fighting Fifth and winning the Christmas Hurdle outright.

“We set off at the beginning of the season and JP (McManus, owner) said we have two objectives this year – the Fighting Fifth and the Christmas Hurdle. That is what we wanted and we nearly got it. We got one and a half which was great,” said Henderson.

“I thought at Kempton she was great and she really did look like her old self. She was hurdling like she always used to and tanked Nico (de Boinville, jockey) into the race. She doesn’t normally go on that early but she was all for getting home and getting back to bed, and she was off.

“We’ve still got one big problem in front of us (Honeysuckle). She has looked very good and she will be very hard to beat, but I do think we are at least back where we were (with Epatante) when she won her Champion Hurdle. That might not have been the strongest field in the world and I’m the first to admit that.”

Appreciate It has not run since taking the Supreme 12 months ago but trainer Willie Mullins feels the eight-year-old has a “big chance”.

“He was going chasing, but then he got injured and we said we couldn’t break his novice this late in the season. It was a fairly easy decision to go back hurdling after that,” said the Closutton trainer.

“Appreciate It loves the track – he went well there last year. I’m happy he’s going to go there with a big chance.

“He’s a strong horse. I know we haven’t had a run, but we’ve done that before.

“I’d say we have a good record for doing that (running well first time out at the Festival), but I don’t know whether we’ve done it for the Champion Hurdle. It’s all to play for I think, but we have a big hurdle to jump (in Honeysuckle).”

Gordon Elliott is happy to run both Zanahiyr and Teahupoo despite having the utmost respect for Honeysuckle.

“I think the track will suit Zanahiyr and we’re going to put cheekpieces on, not because he’s ungenuine but to help him early in the race because he’s a bit behind the bridle,” he said.

“Honeysuckle has been awesome the last couple of years and there’s probably not a person in racing that wouldn’t love to see her win. My horse is in good form, he has six and a half lengths to find from Leopardstown, but I think the track will suit him better, However, she looks very good. I think he’s got a good each-way chance.

“Teahupoo will take his chance. He’s improving and it’s kind of hard to know what he has as he doesn’t show much at home, but when he goes to the track, he keeps improving. We don’t know how good he is to be honest.”

Tommy’s Oscar has been a revelation for trainer Ann Hamilton and her husband Ian, who owns the seven-year-old, winning his last four races.

Though he is undoubtedly progressive, he faces by far his toughest test to date.

“He worked on Tuesday last week and it did the job. Then we schooled him on Wednesday, and he was brilliant. To be honest, I was keen to go to the Morebattle Hurdle myself, as it’s just up the road and it was a £100,000 race,” said Ian Hamilton.

“Brian Hughes and everyone else has been telling us that it’s not very often that you have a horse good enough to go to Cheltenham, so we’ve got to go for it. He was impressed with him the other night when he worked with him and he said he felt good – so for him to say that he must be all right, because he’s quite modest.

“I don’t think he’s beaten a top-class horse yet, but he’s improving so you just don’t know. He hasn’t beaten a Champion Hurdle horse, but he hasn’t faced one yet, so we’ll see. Hopefully he does it on Tuesday!

“He’s improving all the time and when he won the Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock, I saw a comparison with the novices’ race that Jonbon won. He was a good few seconds faster, so it was a good time for the ground.

“He’s just a bit nervy, so it’ll be whether he’s able to handle the Cheltenham crowd on the day. He’s got a hood for the parade ring and then we’ll take it off and then he should be OK in the race itself.”

Rest of the card

Vintage Clouds will again fly the flag for northern jump racing at the Cheltenham Festival, hoping to repeat his success in the Ultima Handicap Chase for Sue and Harvey Smith.

This will be the sixth time the gallant grey has contested the three-mile-one-furlong contest, where 24 runners are scheduled to line up.

Having been placed in 2018 and 2019, he was written off last year following his eighth in 2020.

Yet Ryan Mania’s mount caused a 28/1 surprise, giving the north its first Cheltenham winner since Hawk High took the Fred Winter in the same Trevor Hemmings colours in 2014 for Tim Easterby.

The first-time cheekpieces helped sharpen Vintage Clouds as he went on to record a five-and-a-half-length success in the Grade Three contest, giving the yard its first success at the meeting since Mister McGoldrick won the 2008 Plate.

Sean Quinlan will ride the 12-year-old in Tuesday’s renewal, having partnered him to a three-quarter-length defeat in a veterans’ handicap chase at Doncaster last month.

Showjumping legend Harvey Smith hopes he can reproduce his recent fine effort and carve his name into Cheltenham history as a dual winner of the race alongside Sentina (1957, 1958), Scot Lane (1982, 1983) and Un Temps Pour Tout (2016 and 2017).

Harvey said: “He goes to the Ultima and it was nice to see him bounce back last time. He went to Doncaster and was just short-headed. He is in really good form and he still has the will to do it, that’s the main thing.

“He has 10st 6lb, a bit less than last year when he carried 10st 11lb, so we have fingers, toes, everything crossed and are looking forward to it. He has been so consistent and is a good jumper. He loves it round there.”

The Kim Bailey-trained Does He Know, who seeks a fourth win in five over fences, having landed the Grade Two Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase at Ascot by 14 lengths last time, tops the market.

Bailey said: “He ran well at Ascot and he is in great form. We couldn’t be happier with him. No one is really going to know how much the race at Ascot took out of him, but he seems in a good place at home. It is a tough race, but we can expect nothing less.”

Corach Rambler was favourite for the Reynoldstown, but unseated Derek Fox when going well five fences from home. His last success came at Cheltenham in December and his trainer, Lucinda Russell, is confident Ascot has not left its mark.

She said: “It’s a warm race and he’s just an improving novice. He looked like he was going to run a big race at Ascot last time and he’s got winning form at the track. He’s been a fantastic horse and we didn’t waste any time over hurdles with him. He won his two races and off we went over fences and he’s improved since then.

“He’s a novice but he’s eight and he’s got plenty of experience from pointing, so we’re just hoping that he hasn’t reached the top of his handicap mark. He’s an amazing horse. He’s a little bit reserved at home but at the track he’s just so savvy. I was a bit nervous after Ascot that we may be pushing it quite close, but he didn’t have a hard race and he’s been great.”

The Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle has a attracted a field of 12, with last year’s mares’ novices’ hurdle winner Telmesomethinggirl the ante-post favourite for Henry de Bromhead.

“She seems in really good form and we’re happy with her. She worked really well the other day and all is good,” said the trainer.

“I haven’t really spoken to Kenny (Alexander, owner) recently but I’m sure he’s getting excited for it all, it’s a big day for all of us and we’re really looking forward to it.”

The opposition includes Stormy Ireland, who won the Grade One Irish Mares’ Champion Hurdle last season and showed her ability to handle Cheltenham when landing the Relkeel Hurdle on New Year’s Day.

Stormy Ireland’s trainer Willie Mullins, who also saddles Burning Victory and Echoes In Rain, said: “Stormy Ireland is in good form and likes the track. She’s in great order and we think she goes there with a big chance. She should run a big race.”

The strength of the Irish challenge is also evident in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle.

The raiding party is headed by the highly-touted Gaelic Warrior, who makes his debut for Mullins, having arrived from France in January. He has not run since June.

Gordon Elliott saddles five in the extended two-mile event. They include The Tide Turns, who ran well behind Teahupoo in the Red Mills Hurdle at Gowran Park last month, and Britzka who scored with ease on his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse.

The Ukraine Appeal National Hunt Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Novices' Chase concludes a cracking first day at the Festival.

Rebecca Curtis flies the flag for Britain, running both dual Chepstow winner Pats Fancy and rank outsider Beatthebullet, while Mullins’ hat-trick-seeing Stattler and the Elliott-trained Run Wild Fred vie for favouritism in the three-and-three-quarter mile contest.
