Check out the banker bet, best outsider and recommended multiple ahead of the latest action at the Cheltenham Festival.
FRIDAY
Banker bet of the day
DINOBLUE - 2.40 Cheltenham
Very smart chaser who shaped best when runner-up to Limerick Lace in this last year (conceded first run). Has been mixing it with Grade 1 two milers this season before resuming winning ways back down in class in listed mares race at Naas last month. The one to beat despite a Grade 1 penalty.
Best of the outsiders
INTENSE APPROACH - 3.20 Cheltenham
Enjoyed an excellent summer/autumn when three times a hurdles scorer and also a fine second in Persian War at Chepstow. Resumed from a three-month break with a cosy 3m novice success at Musselburgh and he's no forlorn hope.
Recommended multiple: Each-way Double
CHARLUS - 1.20 Cheltenham
Won 3 of his 4 starts on the Flat in France and made a winning debut over hurdles for his new yard after 8 months off in 16-runner juvenile at Naas in January. Potentially a very useful recruit. Considered.
ETHICAL DIAMOND - 2.00 Cheltenham
Useful winner on the Flat (placed in the Duke of Edinburgh handicap at Royal Ascot) and is proving equally as good in this code, putting up a no-nonsense display to break his hurdles duck last month. Remains unexposed in this sphere and one to consider.
