Steve Hughes provides his best bets for the final day of the Cheltenham Festival. The Gold Cup provides the highlight of the day – and of the week at Cheltenham and this year’s renewal looks a cracker, unlike most of the other features this week. I have selections from...
Steve Hughes looks ahead to Day Three at Cheltenham A strange day on Wednesday with some short priced favourites turned over, yet plenty of the winners were very gettable. We found Dame De Compagnie (advised 6/1) with Night Edition second for the each-way wager (advised 20/1). I have four...
Steve Hughes has his best bets for day two at Cheltenham We had a solid start on Tuesday with a win for The Conditional (advised 15/2) with placed efforts for Discorama (advised 8/1) and Abracadabras (advised 11/2). Wednesday’s feature the Champion Chase is robbed of some of its interest...
Steve Hughes previews the opening day at Cheltenham. The Irish challenge looks particularly strong at Cheltenham on Tuesday. I have selections for the first four races on the opening day.

Steve Hughes has two horses to look out for at the Festival Soviet Pimpernel A horse that has caught my eye all season. He is entered in two races and is in the opening Supreme Novice. However I am very much hoping he is aimed at the County Hurdle...

Steve Hughes gives his picks for the big day of the year at Newbury. We have a cracking card in store. A maximum field for the big race and superb strength in depth amongst the supporting handicaps. I have bets for four of the day’s races. Newbury 1.15: Highway...

Super Ted primed for Haydock prize Steve Hughes previews a super Saturday at Haydock Top class jumping action today with the Betfair Chase, albeit with the emphasis very much on quality over quantity. From a betting perspective therefore I am looking to some of the chief supporting races...
Michael Hughes found a couple of winners at Punchestown yesterday in Treacysenniscorthy (6-1) and Anything Will Do (11-4) and here he selects a couple for day two of the Winter Festival. It was wonderful to see Faugheen back to winning ways and how good it was to see the...
