Today's Sky Bet Request-A-Bet
- WHATSUPWITHYOU to place in 1.10 Cheltenham
- BOOTHILL (without Jonbon) to win 2.20 Cheltenham
- TOMMIE BEAU to win 2.55 Cheltenham
- LETTERSTON LILY to place 4.00 Cheltenham
HYLAND – 1.45 Cheltenham (NAP)
Just four line up for the Listed Mucking Brilliant Paddy Power Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham on Friday but HYLAND can continue the good start he’s had to his fencing career for Nicky Henderson. He won very nicely here at the Showcase Meeting and while there were plenty of fences omitted that day due to low sun he looked to have benefitted from fitting in a few novice chases in the summer. Springwell Bay carries the maximum penalty here and that could swing things in the direction of Hyland who will love the good ground.
JETEYE – 12.45 Newcastle
JETEYE bumped into the thriving Skyjack Hijack here last time and with no rival as progressive as that in the Hawkstone Stout Available At The Hawk Handicap Hurdle he can notch up a second hurdles win. Sam England’s horse ran well over the course and distance on similar ground last time from the same mark and a repeat of that run could well be good enough here. The easy winner, Skyjack Hijack, has subsequently bolted up at Exeter, so Jeteye didn’t have much chance that day. He does in this company.
BEAUZON – 4.25 Wolverhampton
Ian Williams’ BEAUZON might just go on another winning streak now he has dropped in the weights and he’s of interest in the opening apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton. The five-year-old rattled off a course and distance four-timer in January and February, climbing from a mark of 55 to 72 and after eight months in the doldrums he looked back to form at this track last time, winning off a mark of 54. That was four days ago and, turned out quickly, he could be too good for this company in his current mood.
Saturday selections
HAMSIYANN - 3.30 Cheltenham (NAP)
Tony Martin won this race two years ago and looks to have a leading contender this time around in HAMSIYANN.
He improved with every start as a juvenile hurdler last season, finding himself with too much to do when third behind Royal Way in an Ascot handicap on his final start. He’s crying out for this step up in trip, duly improving for a similar hike on the flat when second in the Chester Plate on his only run this season. A big player.
GLORY AND FORTUNE - 2.45 Wetherby
There’s a major leap of faith involved in selecting GLORY AND FORTUNE but it the fire still burns he has to be competitive.
Tom Lacey’s charge won the Betfair Hurdle at the peak of his powers but now races from his lowest mark since winning at Ffos Las in 2021. After a long lay-off he has the benefit of a pipe-opener in a Listed race at Kempton where he very much ran as if needing it and could just be a different proposition on Saturday in these much calmer waters.
ROCK ON TOMMY - 3.03 Uttoxeter
He’s a three-time course-and-distance winner and while he has a four-month absence to overcome, ROCK ON TOMMY returns with the Olly Murphy team running hot.
The nine-year-old is now eight pounds below his last winning mark and has been a found a good opening with the only concern being his usual hold-up tactics in what is forecast to be a weakly-run contest.
NIGHT RAIDER - 3.48 Newcastle
He ran in the 2000 Guineas in the spring but this is NIGHT RAIDER’s surface and he can claim his biggest prize to date.
Three-from-three on the all-weather, he was a very taking winner of a conditions stakes at Kempton last time, having plenty in hand of Equilateral at the line. He’s capable of making an impact at this level.
ZU RUN - 7.30 Wolverhampton
He arrives here at the top of his game and ZU RUN is fancied to make a bold bid despite an ordinary draw.
He’s struck up a good partnership with Millie Wonnacott at this track the last twice, winning over seven furlongs and then touched off by Evocative over this trip last time. Willlolarupi will be popular after his Southwell success earlier this month but was helped by a very strong gallop that day and the selection might just be more tactically versatile.
