  • 2.10 County Handicap Hurdle - State Man (NAP)
  • 2.50 Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle - Hillcrest
  • 3.30 Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup - A Plus Tard
  • 4.10 Hunters' Chase - Billaway
  • 4.50 Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase - Elimay
  • 5.30 Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle - Grand Jury

4.50 Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase

“I’m in the Elimay camp, she was unlucky last year, and the cheekpieces suited her on her last start. I hope she can atone for last year.

“Zambella is a much better mare this year than she was last year, and the trip and the ground will suit her. I’m in the Elimay camp but don’t let me put you off Zambella."

5.30 Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle

“Adamantly Chosen is going the right way. He won the Land Rover Bumper, but whether he’s the next Galopin Des Champs, I don’t know.

“I tipped Galopin Des Champs last year, but I knew more about him than Adamantly Chosen. He seems to be in good form but there are some pretty decent horses here at good prices like Hollow Games at 7/1. Five O’Clock’s last race was in this race two years ago. I hope he runs well but he’s a long time off the track.

“That said, it’s Grand Jury for me.”
