  The BIG Cheltenham Festival Preview: Day 3 13.20 - Mares Novices' Hurdle The first race on Thursday is quite a competitive one but I'm just about siding with Galileo Dame for Joseph O'Brian. This horse was very eye catching running behind Hello Neighbour in the Juvenile hurdle at the DRF last month which is by far the strongest piece of form in the race. She'll also get weight from the rest of the field here and could easily see her going one better here. One I think is overpriced in this is Diva Luna . She's been very hot and cold of late but her form from the end of last season shows that she's got the talent to mix it with this strong field. Trainer Ben Pauling seemed very confident on her chances and said that she's been showing all the signs at home to say she could be back to her best. A cracking each-way bet. Selection: Galileo Dame Danger/EW: Diva Luna Star Rating: 3/5 14.00 Jack Richards Novice Chase This race is the last that has recently been t...

The BIG Cheltenham Festival Preview: Day 2 13.20 - Turners Novice Hurdle Our first race of day 2 is the Turner's novice Hurdle and I've been quite keen to take on The New Lion in this race so I'm siding the Nathanial Lacy winner Final Demand. He was so impressive at the DRF and although a lot of people think he'd be better suited stepping up in trip, I think he could gallop the rest of the field into the ground here and put some of the speedier types such as The New Lion under pressure early doors. One here I like who I believe is overpriced is  The Yellow Clay . He's unbeaten over hurdles this season and was very impressive in the Lawlor's of Naas back in January on ground that he wouldn't have preferred. He'll also need a strongly run race and hope this doesn't turn into a sprint but either way I cant see him outside of the places. Selection: Final Demand Danger: The Yellow Clay  Star Rating: 4/5 14.00 - Brown Advisory Novices' Chase There...

The BIG Cheltenham  Festival Preview: Day 1 Introduction It's finally here! Hello and welcome to my 2025 Cheltenham Festival preview. Here I'll be covering all 28 races across all 4 days of the festival as well as a selection for every single race! I understand this is going to be a lot to consume so to make it easy I'm just going to give a brief description of each selection along side the potential danger in the race as well as a rating out of 5 on how keen I am on each one. So with that being said let's get straight to it! 13.20 - Supreme Novices' Hurdle We kick off with the Supreme Novice Hurdle and I know it's not very original but I'm all over the favourite here which is Kopek Des Bordes . Now if you've followed me for a while you'll know how much I've been going on about this lad since his bumper last Easter at Fairyhouse. I actually put him up for the Turner's so this is slightly bitter sweet seeing him run here after seeing my 25/1 s...
