William Hill Racing Epic Boosts Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Sober Glory

Kadastral

Last Round

SOBER GLORY got firmly back on the up when making all in a good time here last month and remains open to further improvement. He gets the nod in what should prove an informative opener. Kadastral is also on an upward curve and looks the obvious danger, whilst useful Flat performer Fantasy World is a fascinating recruit to hurdling and must be taken seriously, particularly if the market vibes are strong. 

William Hill Each Way Extra Handicap Hurdle

A Pai De Nom

Alentejo

Below The Radar

A PAI DE NOM is a progressive sort who won on his handicap debut at Cheltenham before following up at Leicester. Third at Kempton in the Lanzarote, he travelled smoothly and looks up to taking this if seeing out the longer trip. Below The Radar ran up to the pick of his novice form when second at Haydock and can make his presence felt back over staying distances, while low-mileage 9-y-o Goshhowposh has won fresh previously. 

William Hill Denman Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

Haiti Couleurs

L'HOMME PRESSE is good in these small-field scenarios and, at the likely odds, might be worth siding with to see off Haiti Couleurs, who has achieved his best so far in the hurly burly of top-end handicaps.  

William Hill Game Spirit Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

Lulamba

Saint Segal

LULAMBA looked potentially top class when easily winning the Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown on only his second chase start 9 weeks ago and is fancied to complete the hat-trick up against more experienced rivals. Saint Segal and Calico both arrive at the top of their game and can give the selection most to think about.

William Hill Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)

Tutti Quanti

Wellington Arch

Faivoir

This is one of the few leading handicap hurdles to have eluded Dan Skelton and he might be able to put that right courtesy of LET IT RAIN, who made a highly promising start to her handicap career when a close third at Ascot before Christmas. All In You was narrowly ahead of her in second on that occasion and is feared most having scored in taking fashion at Sandown since. Gerry Feilden winner Tutti Quanti is next on the list ahead of the likeable Hot Fuss. 

William Hill Cheltenham Non-Runner Money Back Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Holloway Queen

Knight Of Allen

Tune In A Box

KNIGHT OF ALLEN has taken very well to fences and looks on good mark back in a handicap judged on his latest form. Hat-trick seeking Itseemslikeit has looked a natural over the larger obstacles and rates a serious threat, while U Cant Be Serious is worth another chance now stepping up in trip.

William Hill Racing Bet Builder Beacons (Standard Open NH Flat Race) (Listed) (GBB Race)

A Likeable Rogue

Get Out Of My Way

Trojan Tale

RISKY OBSESSION looked a most promising sort when readily accounting for Smile John Boy at Warwick and looks sure to go on to better things now stepping up in grade. No Walkover proved his Chepstow scramble hadn't done him full justice when running out a clear-cut winner under a penalty at Aintree and is much respected bidding for a hat-trick, with Trojan Tale another fascinating contender having created a fine impression first time up at Wincanton. 

Warwick

Just Golden

Chasing Glance

Successful on the second of his 2 starts in bumpers, JUST GOLDEN is going the right way over hurdles, just touched off in a Cheltenham maiden on New Year's Day. Equipped with a tongue strap, he can build on that to go one place better here. Piping Rock and Mr Finch are 2 likely threats along with Limerick Star. Leader Crik is another to keep an eye on back from a break.

Hollygrove Cha Cha

JUBILEE ALPHA is suited by the conditions of this contest and can register her first win of the season. La Pinsonniere may provide the chief threat. 

Bet Smarter With Oddschecker Kingmaker Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

Steel Ally

STEEL ALLY built on the promise of his chase debut success when taking a Grade 2 at Ascot last time and remains with potential. He is narrowly preferred to Mambonumberfive who is looking to maintain his 100% record over fences. 

Unibet Middle Distance Series Veterans' Handicap Chase

Guard Your Dreams

Fugitif

LE MILOS produced easily his most encouraging effort of the present campaign when runner-up at Sandown 5 weeks ago and now refitted with cheekpieces he's taken to build on that and make a bold bid to land this for the second season running. Top weight Knappers Hill rates a big danger with this drop back in trip a plus. Guard Your Dreams and Grandeur d'Ame aren't out of things, either.

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

Kingston Queen

White Noise

A Path To Ronda

An interesting renewal of this Grade 2 rerouted from Sandown. KINGSTON QUEEN comfortably saw off subsequent Grade 2 scorer Kripticjim on her Chepstow hurdling bow and then faced a very stiff task attempting to match strides with the hugely exciting Old Park Star at Cheltenham, so she's an appealing candidate moving back in trip against her own sex for the first time in this sphere. White Noise is progressing notably well and rates a big threat, with Irish-raider Good Girl Kathleen also feared.

Cornish Storm

Le Yacht

Homme D'Un Soir

LE YACHT looked sure to go on to better things after Doncaster and might be worth a chance to atone for his subsequent defeat at Haydock, when there was a possible excuse. Almuhit could strip fitter for last month's outing at Newbury and is second choice ahead of Homme d'Un Soir.

Phantomofthepoints

Fingle Bridge

Believitanducan

FINGLE BRIDGE went 3-3 over hurdles last season but has rather struggled with his jumping over fences this term. The switch back to the smaller obstacles seems likely to suit and he gets the verdict over a similar type in Junker d'Allier, who looks on a handy mark based on last season's hurdles form. Believitanducan can complete the placings.

Total Metal Recovery Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Popton Point

Vrheligonne

Port And Brandy

VRHELIGONNE has joined a top outfit following her Irish point second, so she earns the vote before market clues. Popton Point overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Wetherby and should have more to offer under a penalty, while Gentora is another likely type on paper to keep an eye on in the betting. 

Lingfield

Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Apprentice Handicap

Al Najashi

Thankfully Simmy

AL NAJASHI looked a long way ahead of his opening mark when scoring in decisive fashion at Southwell recently, so a 6 lb rise in the weights doesn't look remotely enough to prevent the follow up. Thankfully Simmy will benefit from a return to this trip on his first handicap start and is second choice. 

Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Handicap

Filly Foden

Rosieisme Darling

FILLY FODEN seemed to improve when opening her account after numerous attempts at Southwell last week and has excellent claims of following up if reproducing that form back in a handicap. Mad Dash and Rosieisme Darling look most interesting of the opposition.

Elouise's Prince

Francesi

If a change of headgear gives LATIN a bit of a lift he might be able to notch the fifth win of a productive winter. Francesi is another who has thrived in recent months and is second choice ahead of last Saturday's ready C&D winner Way To Dubai. 

Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

King Of Chaos

Loma Express

Galileo Charm

If KING OF CHAOS can reproduce last month's 6f Wolverhampton handicap form over this longer trip he should take a bit of stopping. Loma Express made a decent start for her new yard when third over C&D last month and should be on the premises again. Seapearl and Feisty Minx couldn't land a serious blow in the same 7f race at Kempton 10 days ago but are lightly-raced fillies who likely have their best days ahead of them.

Monsieur Kodi

Signcastle City

Iconic Times

Perhaps MONSIEUR KODI can gain reward for his recent consistency. Dandy Khan's recent course third shows her mark is still workable despite her winning spree and she's second choice ahead of last month's Kempton scorer Serenity Dream.

Hierarchy

Amazonian Dream

Giorgio M

AMAZONIAN DREAM hasn't won for a long time but showed signs of resurgence from his much-reduced mark when third at Southwell recently and looks one to be interested in again all of a sudden. Charlie Mason, Ziggy's Condor and Silky Wilkie are a trio of others to consider in a handicap contested by plenty of in-form types. 

Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Div 1)

Muy Muy Loco

Silkies Sib

Eutropia

SILKIES SIB was quickly back on track when finishing a close-up third over further at Southwell recently and, still on a workable mark, he looks a serious player from an inside berth. Last-time-out scorer Celtic John and Muy Muy Loco are other likely protagonists.

Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Div 2)

Danehill Star

Al Shabab

KNIGHT OF MAGIC is by no means an easy ride but he was again well handled by Luke Morris when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts over further at Wolverhampton 12 days ago. He can make a bold bid once more back in a handicap from this sort of mark. Al Shabab and Danehill Star are others strongly considered. Summer Evening also commands a second look.

Southwell

Himself

Blue Siam

Damzon

HIMSELF was value for extra when scoring again at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and he gets the verdict over another hat-trick seeker in the shape of Havachoc, who was better than ever when scraping home over 12f here on Thursday. Forglen chased the selection home last time and can reach the placings once more.

Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Fillies' Handicap

Brazilian Rose

Ziggy's Queen

BRAZILIAN ROSE won twice at this course in January, including at this C&D 15 days ago, and whilst she had her winning run ended here 8 days ago, that came after doing too much early and being left poorly placed. She looks the one to beat. So Sassy bounced back to her best at Lingfield 35 days ago and can make her presence felt, whilst Mereside Diva is potentially on a nice mark if building on her back-to-form second here last week.

Tiger Power

Saint Of The Sea

Charles Darnay

SEATTLE CHIEF cost £85,000 as a yearling and is a likely type for a yard that has an excellent record with newcomers. Kurios Lady showed marked improvement from debut when third at this C&D 18 days ago, looking more clued up and running on despite being hampered, so can make her presence felt. Havana's Tune is a half-brother to a winner abroad and related to very smart middle-distance winner Romsdal.

Make The Move To Midnite Handicap

Enthused

Seraphic

KING'S HAND finally got off the mark at Lingfield 9 days ago, timing his challenge perfectly to lead in the final furlong, and he's fancied to follow up despite a 4 lb rise. Seraphic disappointed under a penalty at Wolverhampton last time but had won comprehensively at Chelmsford before that and can bounce back. Noss Mayo opened her account at Newcastle in first-time visor and remains of interest if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

BetMGM Tandridge Stakes (Listed)

Chancellor

Tyrrhenian Sea

CHANCELLOR has returned from his summer break in improved form and was arguably unlucky not to follow up when second in listed company at Kempton 68 days ago. He's fancied to go one better here. Defending champion Tyrrhenian Sea wasn't quite at his best when second at Lingfield last time but should be competitive, whilst Witch Hunter ran his best race for quite some time when scoring at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. 

Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap

Life After Love

Mythical Night

HE BANGS THE DRUMS is yet to win but returned to form when second at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, shaping better than the bare result having been keen in front. Back down in trip, he can go one better. Mythical Night is best not judged too harshly on her Southwell run where she was short of room, and can go well back down in trip, while Blueaway looks a potential improver on handicap bow. 

Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap

Brazilian Belle

True Promise

Ay Gee Ell

AY GEE ELL was revitalised by the first-time visor when winning here 57 days ago and can resume winning ways back down in class. Neptune Legend could be interesting now back on his last successful mark, while Birkenhead has made the frame in four successive starts and should give another good account.

Naas

SR Ventilation Supporting Kill GAA Rated Hurdle

Highland Crystal

Saratoga

Often a key trial for the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival and this can go the way of the sole filly HIGHLAND CRYSTAL who created a strong impression when making it 2-2 in a Newbury listed hurdle and she can remain unbeaten. Useful Flat performers Munsif, Saratoga and Kilmeaden are feared in receipt of weight from the selection, along with Genealogy who was much improved when second behind an impressive winner at Ascot.

Connolly's RED MILLS Irish EBF Auction Novice Hurdle

Raise You Up

Grey Jude

DUNLEER CRYSTAL left his first 2 efforts under Rules well behind when runner-up at Down Royal over Christmas and is selected to make the most of the weight he receives from the previous hurdle winners in this line-up, notably Grey Jude. 

Cavan Developments Supporting Kill GAA Maiden Hurdle

Jalon D'oudairies

Healys Pub

Umpire's Call

Dual bumper winner JALON D'OUDAIRIES built on his encouraging hurdles bow when runner-up at Leopardstown last time and likely has more to give yet. He gets the nod. Poetisa could improve significantly from her Punchestown hurdles debut and looks the obvious danger, whilst Healys Pub can also make his presence felt. 

Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle

Hesgonethatway

Moudan

Fairyland Opera

A progressive dual winner over hurdles last term, MOUDAN has improved further switched to chasing this season, proving game when opening his account over the larger obstacles at Limerick 6 weeks ago. He's of interest returned to this sphere despite a career-high mark and shades preference over Half A Chance. Cloonainra is another worthy of a second look also returning to the smaller obstacles.

Cheltenham Trials Day At Naas Racecourse (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Coole Cafe

Apache Peak

ONE TO WITNESS is an appealing newcomer and seemingly the choice of Harry Swan, so he's the selection before market clues. Todo Bien also takes the eye on paper however, and strong market support for him would put a slightly different slant on matters. Apache Peak bumped into a useful prospect on his bumper debut here last month and should run well again. 

BBA Ireland Limited Opera Hat Mares Chase (Listed)

Dinoblue

It's difficult to oppose DINOBLUE who stands out on these terms and ought to prove very tough to beat in her bid to land this race for the second consecutive season with sterner assignments lying in wait. Uhavemeinstitches shades preference for the forecast over Bioluminescence in what could be a clean sweep for J P. McManus.

QuinnBet Hunters Chase

Panda Boy

Hunters Yarn

Three recent point wins suggest HUNTERS YARN still retains a good chunk of his ability and he's preferred to recent Thurles hunter scorer Panda Boy. 

Uttoxeter

Support Daybreaks Trust Ex-Racing Greyhounds Handicap Chase

BANK ON FRANK improved on his hurdles form straight away when second on his chase bow at Fontwell and is worth a try over this longer trip given how he shaped that day. Moor End has taken well to fences this season and is another to consider along with As Tears Go By, who's potentially on a handy mark if building on his comeback second at Fakenham. 

QuinnBet Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

A GREAT EXCUSE got no further than the fifth at Huntingdon last time but he beat a pair of subsequent winners when scoring at Lingfield the time before so is well worth another chance. Hors Jeu ran his best race for a while when just denied at Hereford and is feared most. 

Chloe Mediumship Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

This could prove very attritional, the nod therefore going to LON CHANEY, who showed plentiful reserves of stamina when winning another small-field race at C&D on New Year's Eve. Skuna Bay is a likeable type and is evenly matched with the selection on form, whilst Hung Jury is very interesting reverted to hurdling, having proven himself a fairly useful chaser since last seen over the smaller obstacles.

QuinnBet Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

ITSEEMSLIKEIT has been most impressive in landing each of his 2 starts over fences this winter, his jumping again sure-footed as he followed up his impressive C&D success in ready fashion at Ffos Las. He looks sure to do better again and is fancied to defy the handicapper once more and complete the hat-trick. Grand Albert may appreciate a return to positive tactics and this is easier than his latest Haydock assignment. Happy and Fine rounds off the shortlist.

QuinnBet Daily Free Bet Handicap Hurdle

Thriving FRESH SPECULATION defied a 7 lb rise to land a double last time and he can make it a hat-trick, confirming earlier season form with John Barbour who is unbeaten at Uttoxeter and feared most. Lightningupourdays is another course winner and should be in the mix following a creditable reappearance. 

QuinnBet Mares' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

MADAME LA PAPILLON has made an encouraging start over hurdles with runner-up finishes on both starts, pulling clear with a useful prospect at Newcastle last time and she can go one better. Queenie St Clair impressed when winning a handicap on stable debut at Wincanton but may again prove vulnerable in a novice, while any support for interesting hurdling debutantes I Heard A Rumour and Midnight Venture should be noted. 

quinnbet.com Novices' Handicap Hurdle

MORNING MAYHEM confirmed his 28/1 Uttoxeter shock wasn't a fluke when producing his best effort at Wincanton last month and can follow up on his return to this venue. Inion Tiogair has improved this winter with three runner-up finishes, she isn't entirely straightforward but may be better than her current rating, while first-time cheekpieces could help Churchman, who seeks to break his maiden.
