Nick Murphy | 20 February 2019 The Cheltenham Festival Top Jockey award goes to the jockey who wins the most races across the four-day Prestbury Park Festival each year. It has a long and storied history, although one man has dominated the Cheltenham Top Jockey accolade in the last decade or so. Ruby Walsh has claimed the award in nine of the last 10…

[ad_1] Connections of Presenting Percy will not be overly concerned should the Cheltenham Gold Cup favourite go straight into the March 15 race without a prep over fences. The Pat Kelly-trained Presenting Percy has run only once since he stormed to victory in the RSA Chase at Cheltenham last March, landing a Grade Two race over hurdles at Gowran Park last month. He was…

We’re only three weeks away from the 2019 Cheltenham Festival and I don’t think I’m prepared. It’s been a funny few months in that regard, the jumps haven’t really got going and yet here we are now facing into the festival. Hopefully all our collective frustration about the stop/start nature of the season will subside when those four glorious days of racing begin on…

Super Saturday produced another big shift in the 2019 Cheltenham Festival markets, as Monalee and Clan Des Obeaux both strengthened their Gold Cup credentials. Al Dancer and Tiger Roll also nailed down their Festival claims over the weekend, although Kalashnikov and Amy Murphy have something to find in the Arkle Chase. We’ve rounded it all up in our Road to Cheltenham… Clan Des Obeaux…

Nick Murphy | 19 February 2019 The Pertemps Network Final is one of the toughest races to win at the Cheltenham Festival and as such it carries a reputation as a favourite’s graveyard. Only one favourite has won the race since Inching Closer triumphed for Jonjo O’Neill in 2003, with recent winners at 11/1, 14/1 and 25/1. It’s not all about the price, though.…

[ad_1] After impressive wins for both Tiger Roll & Clan des Obeaux over the weekend, we look at the big market movers in the Cheltenham Festival betting – with just 3 weeks to go! Firstly, we must begin with Clan des Obeaux  (above) who bolted up in the Denman Chase at Ascot. The King George VI winner was still on the bridle two out…

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions! We've another busy afternoon in store with seven LIVE ITV races spread across three tracks – Kempton, Lingfield and Newcastle. The 888Sport Handicap Chase tops the bill at Kempton, with four LIVE races at the Sunbury-On-Thames track, while the stayers are out again up at Newcastle for the gruelling…

[ad_1] Paul Nicholls has compared Clan Des Obeaux to Kauto Star and demanded his up-and-coming star be given more respect going into the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Clan Des Obeaux was an emphatic winner of Saturday’s rearranged Denman Chase at Ascot on a stunning afternoon for the Ditcheat handler. Nicholls fired a fabulous eight winners across Britain, including an Ascot five-timer, and few were more…

[ad_1] Ruth Jefferson’s Waiting Patiently has lived up his name ahead of his bid to win a second Ascot Chase (15:55) on Saturday. Waiting Patiently landed his maiden Grade One success in the race 12 months ago, taking his record to a perfect seven-from-seven over fences as he held off Cue Card by just under three-lengths. It was an emotional success for Jefferson, being…

[ad_1] Presenting Percy’s preparations for the Cheltenham Gold Cup have suffered a setback after he was omitted from the field for Saturday’s Red Mills Chase. The Pat Kelly stable star is the 11/4 favourite for the Blue Riband event at next month’s Festival but has only run once since his success in the RSA Chase last year. The eight-year-old’s only outing thus far came…

Every now and again, I do enjoy an each-way Goliath bet and Dundalk’s competitive eight race meeting on Friday evening is ideal to have a go at one for small stakes. How ever you are attacking the Dundalk card from a punting perspective, below you’ll find my idea of the angle in each of the octet of races, starting at 5.00pm. For the uninitiated,…

Presenting Percy is already a Superstar name among the purist Cheltenham fraternity in Ireland and the UK and perhaps rightly so, as a dual Cheltenham Festival winner hailing from a small but popular yard. As the 2019 Gold Cup Jolly was due to put the finishing touches on his preparations for a seeming date with destiny on Friday 15th of March, confidence couldn’t have…

[ad_1] Monalee (11/4 – To win Red Mills Chase) will be seeking revenge over Presenting Percy (4/5) when the two meet in the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park on Saturday. The Henry de Bromhead-trained eight-year-old finished a distant second to Presenting Percy in last year’s RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, but he will be looking to fare better this time…

With the Cheltenham Festival just around the corner, our traders have revealed their five biggest ante-post liabilities across the four-day event. Last year Getabird was the worst result in the book. But how will the punters’ picks fare this time around? Let us take you through this year’s five to be feared… Santini – RSA Chase Our traders are dreading a fourth RSA Chase…

[ad_1] Trainer Noel Meade has confirmed stable star Road To Respect is on track for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, despite his recent defeat at Leopardstown (Road to Respect 12/1 – To win  Gold Cup). The eight-year-old competed in the Irish equivalent of the Gold Cup at the start of February but he was unable to get the job done. The Willie Mullins-trained Bellshill eventually…
