Cheltenham 2022

The Nice Guy Won at 18/1 in the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle – won by 5L

“The Nice Guy won two bumpers and did it well on his hurdling debut over 2m3f at Naas last month. Paul Townend stated after that success that his mount would have no issue steeping up in trip.”

Gavin also tipped up Ginto in this race at 6/1 who looked a danger when unfortunately getting injured just as they turned for home.

Banbridge Won at 12/1 in the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle – won by 1 1/2L

“Being a novice is often a positive for this race and Banbridge fits that profile ideally. He’s won three of his five starts over hurdles and I think his ideal conditions could prove to be this trip on nice ground. Representing Joseph O’Brien, who has a decent record in this race, he is expected to be in the thick of things.”

Was available at 16/1 at the time of writing.

Brazil Won at 10/1 in the Boodles Handicap Hurdle – won by a short head

“I’m very surprised that Brazil is running as all along they said he wasn’t going to, so I wasn’t even including him in my calculations. Mark Walsh rides instead of Champion Green so I’d say Brazil.”

Elimay Won at 8/1 (SP was 9/4) in the Mrs Paddy Power Mares Chase – won by 1/2L

“I am going to go again this year for Elimay (second in 2021 renewal to Colreevy beaten 1/2L. Went off 6/5 Fav, was tipped up at at 14/1). She was a decent hurdler who got to a rating of 144. She had 4 runs in 9 1/2 weeks last season including 2 wins. She had 2 trips recently to England. Carlisle was abandoned and then ran a week later when she ran poorly at Aintree on incredibly testing ground. She had much more chasing experience than Concertista. I think she is good value at 8/1.”

L’Homme Presse Won at 4/1 (SP was 9/4 fav) in the Brown Advisory Chase – won by 3 1/2L

“I think that 4/1 is very fair. I think tomorrow that if Galopin as expected goes in the Turners then this lad won’t be 4/1. He’s 4 from 4 over fences. He’s better going left handed as we saw in the Dipper when giving The Glancing Queen 7lb and beating her by 10 lengths. He’ll definitely stay. I think that Ahoy Senor has huge class but he still is a bit immature.

Flooring Porter Won at 4/1 in the Stayers Hurdle – won by 2 3/4L

“Last week he was about 5/1 before Klassical Dream and Champ disappointed so I think that the 4/1 he is now is value. The other thing is that he is the youngest horse of the market leaders which I like, he is only a 7 year old. Champ and Paisley Park are now 10 year olds. He’s a different horse since making the running going left handed. The most important furlong for Flooring Porter is the first furlong as he likes to lead. I think he’s good value at 4/1.”

Edwardstone Won at 5/2 in the Sporting Life Arkle Novices Chase – won by 4 1/4L

“There are no top-class former Grade 1-winning hurdlers at the top of the market and I think the brilliance of Edwardstone’s slick jumping could prove decisive. There should be plenty of pace on and that won’t do this classy eight year-old any harm.”
