The Wine Tipster: “This classy individual can make a mark here”

The final day of The November Meeting has the feature the Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle, a classy handicap and last year’s winner The Shunter went on to win at The Festival. The Irish team are out in force again and this is as ever a very competitive renewal with Unibet Ambassador Nicky Henderson’s No Ordinary Joe right near the top of the market and also Nicky Henderson has Marie’s Rock, Unibet 22/1 each way, who is definitely worth an each way wager, following a good run at Wetherby on seasonal debut.

The Shloer Chase features a high-class field, including Nube Negra, Champion Chase winners Put The Kettle On and Politologue.

I’m looking forward to day three at The Festival and it is great to be presenting at the home of jump racing.

Enjoy whether at Cheltenham or watching #athome.

Cheers!

1.45 Cheltenham – Old Jewson Click and Collect Handicap Chase (3m 3½f)

Yala Enki was second in this race last year to Ramses De Teillee and can go one better this year.

He is a classy individual and he has a strong chance with regular pilot Bryony Frost in the plate.

Unibet 3/1 win 

 

2.20 Cheltenham – Shloer Chase Grade 2 (2m)

Nube Negra was my Unibet selection for the Champion Chase and he travelled smoothly ahead of making a late challenge to the winner Put The Kettle On. If Nube Negra hadn’t stumbled after the last it can be argued that he would have beaten the tremendously talented and determined Put The Kettle On, who has won at this meeting in the last two years. Nube Negra goes well fresh and will certainly be fit enough for his seasonal debut.

Unibet 13/8 win

 

2.55 Cheltenham – Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle (2m ½f)

Tritonic (nap) will come on for his second behind I Like To Move It (runs 3.30) at the October meeting and this classy individual can make a mark here for trainer Alan King, who has won two of the last four runnings. Tritonic was well fancied for the Triumph Hurdle after winning emphatically at Kempton at their February meeting, but the ground was not in his favour at The Festival. Conditions will suit much more today.

Unibet 11/1 each way

Camprond won the Unibet Persian War Hurdle at Chepstow last month and then won easily here at The Showcase Meeting. Earlier in the year he ran at the Aintree Grand National Meeting and then was third in the Swinton Hurdle behind Copperless and Cormier (reopposes today). This five-year-old keeps progressing and can run another good race in the Unibet Greatwood.

Unibet 10/1 each way

 

3.30 Cheltenham – Supreme Trial Novices’ Hurdle (2m ½f)

I Like To Move It is looking to retain his unbeaten record over hurdles and make it three from three.

At The Showcase meeting I Like To Move It was always travelling smoothly and pulled clear after making his challenge heading to the last to beat Tritonic (runs Unibet Greatwood). This was a big step up from his Worcester success and he can strike again here.

Unibet Evens win
