IN the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle I think has gone way too short for me. But one I’d give a good shout out to is He is 3 from 3 at the rack which is very important at Cheltenham. In the Arkle I can’t see anything touching Altior.

I’m keen on in the Champion Hurdle as he didn’t get the best of rides last year in the Neptune when he was taken wide the whole way round, but he was still second to If he gets a better run this time he could go well. He hasn’t done much wrong this year and he’s currently around 4/1. You’d also have to respect as he has been very impressive in Ireland so far this season.

The ground is so important at Cheltenham and I’d advice anyone to wait until the day to see what the going is like. In the Neptune, if the ground came up soft, I’d give

a good chance. As for the Champion Chase it’s all about I actually laid a bet of €200 each way at 33/1 earlier in the year on

Yorkhill. Duty Disko Douvan. Norton. Un De Sceaux Melon Moonracer. Yanworth Petit Mouchoir Death Fox

In the JLT Chase I like

as he was very impressive at Leopardsto­wn last month and the 2m 5f will suit him. I’d definitely give him a good chance in that.

In the Ryanair Chase the ground will have to be soft for to be at his best. But one that I’d give a good shout out to if he runs in this race is

Empire of Dirt.

Gigginstow­n already have plenty of options for the Gold Cup and he could be a good bet if he turns up for this race, he’s currently around 7/1.

In the Stayers’ Hurdle, and if the ground is good, I’d side with He gave

a great race at Cheltenham last time out in ground he hates. He could be a good each way bet.

Moving to Friday. There’s a Gigginstow­n horse in the Triumph Hurdle called

He finished 3rd in Leopardsto­wn in February and he hit the third last hurdle that day, but still kept on to be placed. You need a stayer for the Triumph and at 16/1 I’d give him an each way chance.

In the Gold Cup I just can’t see the winner coming from outside the top four in the betting. With now out it’s made for an even more interestin­g race.

is improving all the time: he’s a good jumper and a strong galloper. As for the Irish, it has to be

He’s been placed twice in the race and this year they have given him a break leading up to it and I think he’s better than But at the moment - and I’m conscious of not knowing what the going is yet - I would pick

If you’re looking for one in the handicaps there’s a horse in the Grand Annual Chase on Friday belonging to Arthur Moore called,

Cole Harden. UknowwhatI­meanharry Des Obeaux. River Djakadam. Native River. Dinaria Thistlecra­ck Native Outlander. Dandridge.

He was second in the same race last year and I think he’s being primed for the race again this year, he’s currently around 12/1.

We’re also doing a ‘Cash Back’ special if your horse finishes 2nd to the favourite in selected races. We’re different to some of the other firms in that we’ll give you your cash back into your hand instead of a free bet. If you put on a €20 win and your horse comes 2nd to the favourite in a selected race, we give you that €20 back – not a free €20 bet as other firms do. That’s not the same thing.

People should call in to us during the meeting as we’ll have specials each day on selected races. We’ll also be paying out 5 places, usually in one of the handicaps.

We’re also paying a quarter the odds in all races.
