Adrian has beloved racing from an early age, and repeatedly visits his native tracks within the west of Eire. With a love for each UK & Irish flat and jumps racing, his favorite competition is the Galway Races and he goes there yearly.
The last word objective for any punter heading into the Cheltenham Competition is to land a large accumulator throughout the week. There are many robust favourites however which of them can’t be trusted at this second in time and what horse may be the worth within the race?
Majborough – Champion Chase
I fancied Majborough to win at Leopardstown on the weekend, however I’m useless set towards him at Cheltenham except the bottom turns up heavy. Willie Mullins’ 6yo ran out a formidable 19-length winner of the Dublin Chase, and he has some engine, however he could be a sketchy jumper at the most effective of occasions.
It was the heavy floor and a slower tempo of race that helped him to decide on the day. On higher floor at Cheltenham at a frantic clip, he gained’t get that luxurious. He was turned over within the Arkle final season and Marine Nationale will most likely have his measure right here.
Physician Steinberg – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle
There’s no getting away from how spectacular Physician Steinberg was within the Grade 1 Novices’ Hurdle over 2m6f at Leopardstown on the weekend however I used to be amazed at how nicely he gained contemplating how eager he was all through the early a part of the race. If he races that freely at Cheltenham in a a lot deeper race, I’m not certain he’ll final the three miles.
I’m additionally not so certain concerning the type. Kazansky, who was second, narrowly beat County Remaining at Limerick’s Christmas assembly, however the latter was pulled up in a Listed handicap on Monday. Thedeviluno may very well be the worth within the race.
Paul Nolan went shut on this race with Newest Exhibition in 2020 and the spectacular Doncaster winner on newest additionally beat a subsequent Grade 1 winner in Skylight Hustle at Gowran on reappearance.
