Triumph Hurdle
Maestro Conti (5/1) has a course and distance form and was given a very educational ride by Harry when winning on trials day. I think he’s still an underrated prospect in this race and should go very close.
Selection: Maestro Conti @ 5/1
Mares Chase
Panic Attack (7/2) has was breathtaking at Newbury earlier this season and irrespective of the opposition. It was how she went about dismantling that race as she jumped from fence to fence before taking an age to be pulled up by Harry Skelton.
Harry was a little lost for words post-race and clearly was impressed with how she performed. It was clear to viewers that the run from Panic Attack had seriously impressed him.
She has already won the Paddy Power Gold Cup along with the Coral Gold Cup, which was done with ease and a return to Cheltenham and the change of course and the more galloping nature of the New Course will play further to her strengths.
This mare is lightly raced for a 10-year-old and is in the form of her life following an unbeaten start to this season with three victories to her name, two of which are some of the most competitive handicaps in the calendar.
Additionally, she gets weight from most of the market principles.
Selection: Panic Attack @ 7/2
Gold Cup
Jango Baie (7/2)He’s devoured the hill on two occasions already winning an Arkle when having absolutely zero right to do so. He steps up in trip here and I have EVERY faith he is g guaranteed to hit the frame.
Selection: Jango Baie @ 7/2
Martin Pipe
Act Of Authority (20/1) placed in this race last year and Olly Murphy has been informed throughout the entirety of the season. He is a trainer on the up and all of his runners this week should be taken note of, he is one towards the top of the list and should go close in the final race of the week.
Selection: Act Of Authority @ 20/1
