  • Masterminded to reign supreme in Champion Chse?
    When Master Minded lost his Queen Mother Champion Chase crown to Big Zeb last year, some whispered that he may have peaked and that he would embark on a downward spiral. However, the Paul Nicholls-trained eight-year-old has answered those critics with some excellent runs this year. A dual winner of Wednesday’s blue riband event Master Minded was a runaway winner...

  • Ghizao Arkle Chase betting looks difficult to beat
    Ghizao is 5/1 in the Cheltenham betting market and will head to the Festival high on confidence after victories on his two latest starts.

  • Tranquil Sea impresses at Leopardstown
    Tranquil Sea boosted his claims for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham with a tremendous victory in the Newlands Chase at Leopardstown. Edward O’Grady’s eight-year-old led after the second-last and pulled clear on the run-in thanks to a good jump at the final fence.

  • RSA Chase Tips – Weapon’s Amnesty a threat
    Weapon’s Amnesty did nothing wrong with a good second in the Dr P J Moriarty Chase and I thought he ran a perfectly respectable RSA Chase trial as the drop down in trip would not suit this strong stayer and he also much prefers decent ground so the testing surface would have also been against him.
