Cheltenham Festival selections Wednesday 16th March After a terrific opening day at Cheltenham, Wednesday brings perhaps the purists race of the week with the Champion Chase. It is a classic renewal too – but I think there is an overpriced contender as a decent each-way shout. Again we have...
Cheltenham Festival selections Tuesday 15th March Having been suspended for the 2021 Festival, Gordon Elliott is back for 2022 and has a raft of strong fancies for the opening day, including a big each-way fancy for the big race the Champion Hurdle. I have selections for four races on...
