TUESDAY
1.30pm Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle
Both Dysart Dynamo and Sir Gerhard will be split up. Which way they go I don’t know. I think whichever horse goes to the Ballymore will win and the one that runs in the Supreme will win. I think the Supreme is a cracking race. Mighty Potter could be a dual Grade One winner, he got caught in a pocket in the Royal Bond. Kilcruit, the application of a tongue-tie has really helped him and he was very good at Punchestown. At a push, I would be picking Jonbon. I loved him at Newbury. They will go hard in this race and I think the race is made for Jonbon. I didn’t think there was anything to dislike in his run at Newbury and then you have Constitution Hill who the vibes seem strong about from Seven Barrows. It is going to be a fascinating race to open the meeting. The race has everything.
2.10pm Sporting Life Arkle Novices’ Chase
The Arkle is a reverse of Cheltenham’s of the past. You have Edwardstone being the leading British hope and then you have the net seven horses in the betting being Irish ready to take him on in the shape of Blue Lord, Riviere D’etel, Haut En Couleurs and Saint Sam, Ciel De Neige, Magic Daze and Coeur Sublime. Edwardstone has been rock-solid. He was very professional at Warwick last time out and he sets the standard. It’s a big ride for Tom Cannon. Not much separates Blue Lord and Riviere D’etel on their run at Leopardstown and a better jump at the last may have swung it for Riviere D’etel. I think Paul Townend was brilliant on Blue Lord and I don’t think there is much between them. What puts me off Riviere D’etel, Haut En Couleurs and Saint Sam is the poor record that five-year-olds have. I would say Edwardstone is the one. He is a brilliant jumper and he is the most likely winner of what is a very open race.
3.30pm Unibet Champion Hurdle
I think Honeysuckle is very hard to beat. Appreciate It is in great form. He bolted up in the Supreme, but I don’t know how strong a race it was. Appreciate It was an…
