    The RSA Steeple Chase takes place on Ladies Day, as we continue our beginners guide to the 2012 Cheltenham Festival and take a look at this superb Group 1 race. The Cheltenham Festival is a highlight of the horse racing calendar for many reasons. One of which though is that every single race is significant.

  • RSA Chase Betting
    The big story has been the problems with the lameness of Punchestowns, currently 7/2 with Stan James.

As a result Long Run is now favourite at 11/4 with Stan James but...

I would still prefer...

  • 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. He did take a while again for his jumping to warm to the task which...
