Boyhood’s a dream come true for Tom
BOYHOOD has a chance in a wide open Pertemps Final.
Tom George’s (below) hurdler has proven course form on soft ground and has shown he’s competitive from this handicap mark.
He is the pick from a field of 24, with Grand Nationalbound
Abolutionist being worth watching with Aintree in mind.
The Debra Harmer-trained Tobefair showed signs of a return to form last time out at Newbury and could be the main danger.
LOSTINTRANSLATION is one of Colin Tizzard’s best hopes of a winner this week and is a horse tipped for greatness by the trainer. He can land the JLT Novices’ Chase. Another George-trained horse BLACK OP is dangerous to ignore in the Stayers’ Hurdle as his jumping has to come together one day.
His chasing career was a disaster and he didn’t jump that well when returning to hurdling last time, but he does like the course. Another who always goes well at Cheltenham is SPIRITOFTHEGAMES, who runs in the Stable Plate Handicap Chase.
