  • World Hurdle Offers – Big Bucks Free Bets
    Big Buck’s was a very impressive scorer in the 2009 Ladbrokes World Hurdle and he heads the 16 confirmations for the three-mile event this timearound. Trained by Paul Nicholls, the seven-year-old has won on his two outings this season, both at Newbury, and is sure to be a short price to claim a second success in the contest. Howard Johnson saddled the great Inglis Drever...

  • 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. The 4/6 favourite was driven out by Andrew McNamara to hold Natal by two and a half lengths with...

  • Ryanair Chase – Planet of Sound a problem
    Tranquil Sea was due to have his final prep race at Naas on Sunday which was abandoned so it will be interesting to see if they try and squeeze another run into him. Planet Of Sound had a far from ideal prep when taking a crashing fall early on in the Ascot Chase and I know from my stats just how hard it is to win at the Festival directly off the back of a fall. That...

  • Ryanair Chase betting Voy Por Ustedes disappoints
    There was no disguising the fact that was a disappointing effort from Voy Por Ustedes in the Game Spirit Chase. To go out without a fight suggested he has lost his enthusiasm and he needs to rediscover his mojo very quickly now to have a chance of even reaching the frame. The really disappointing aspect was that his jumping looked back to his best until he turned for home. The...

  • Ryanair Chase Joncol looking good?
    Joncol and Schindler’s Hunt did their Ryanair Chase chances no harm at all in the Irish Hennessy but just a word of warning though if you think that Joncol’s class and progression can see him through and win a third Grade 1 of the season, his trainer stated afterwards that he is only 50-50 to run here as they have the Guinness Gold Cup at Punchestown also on...

  • Big Bucks too short to land Ladbrokes World Hurdle says owner
    Big Buck’s is too short a price to win the Ladbrokes World Hurdle for the second successive year, according to his owner Andy Stewart. The seven-year-old is odds-on at (4/7) to defend his crown at Cheltenham next month after winning all his six races since reverting to hurdling last January, but Stewart believes victory is not a foregone conclusion. “I was...

  • Joncol into 5/1 for Ryanair Chase
    Paul Nolan hopes Joncol can develop into a genuine contender for next year’s Gold Cup after seeing his Cheltenham odds fall following a heroic display at Leopardstown on Sunday. The giant seven-year-old got the better of Cooldine and Schindlers Hunt in a titanic battle for Ireland’s premier chasing prize, the Hennessy Gold Cup, providing both Nolan and jockey...
