Notes

Codeshare won over course and distance less than 3 weeks ago and is aiming for a hat trick win and looks the one to beat as Mark Johnston’s Final has top weight.

Water Wagtail ran a good race when finishing 3rd on its last start and the step up in distance will suit the Emma Lavelle trained horse, with Daryl Jacob on board.

Horse Racing – UK / Ireland – 21st March 2017 – Southwell 4.25pm – Sunbets.co.uk Handicap

War Department 7/2 – 3pt stake

{ad}

Gordon Elliott’s Strike is Back looks the stand out horse in this meeting. Finishing 2nd on its latest outing in a Maiden Hurdle race, running on towards the finish. Running only 3 days later but dropping in trip, the 5 year old mare will enjoy the run for the in form trainer.

War Department has been in excellent form for Keith Dalgliesh and though the draw may not be ideal, the 4 year old will give a good solid run and can notch its 2nd win of the month.

Friday 17th March 2017: David’s Cheltenham Festival Day 4 Preview

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 preview

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 preview

Here’s our Horse Racing preview for the Cheltenham Festival day 4.

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 1.30pm – JCB Triumph Hurdle (Grade 1)

Defi Du Seuil has won 3 out of 3 here at Cheltenham and has also won all 5 starts over hurdles and looks a strong favourite. Landofhopeandglory has good stamina and the heavy ground on its last outing did not suit. Nicky Henderson’s Charli Parcs fell in the Adonis at Kempton but the trainers believe the horse to be back in good form.

Favourite – Defi Du Seuil
Value Tip / Bet – Landofhopeandglory
Each Way – Charli Parcs

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 2.10pm – Randox Health County Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3)

North Hill Harvey runs for Dan Skelton, who has 3 entries in this race, looks to be the stable selection. He won the Greatwood at Cheltenham and has a great chance. Mick Jazz came third in its only Handicap race and could go well for the in form Gordon Elliott.

Favourite – North Hill Harvey
Value Tip / Bet – Air Horse One
Each Way – Mick Jazz

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 2.50pm – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1)

Death Duty beat a Grade 3 winner at Navan and then a Grade 1 winner at Naas. Though slightly lucky due to a fall from Augusta Kate, Gordon Elliott’s horse should give a good account. The Worlds End ran a fine race when coming in 2nd to No Hassle Hoff, with the winner receiving a 7lb pull on the runner up.

Favourite – Death Duty
Value Tip / Bet – The Worlds End
Each Way – Augusta Kate

 

Cheltenham Festival Day 4 – 3.30pm – Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase (Grade 1)

 

Cue Card has won at the festival twice before and though he fell in last years Gold Cup, he was travelling very well. The only concern would be his age and the Colin Tizzard trained horse may struggle to overcome some of the younger horses. Stablemate Native River has won the Hennessy, Welsh National and beat Bristol De Mai in the Denman Chase. He looks to be the main danger to Djakadam, who has come up against Outlander on a few occasions recently. Sizing John could be the surprise outsider, having come 2nd to Douvan at last years Arkle and this season, stepping up to 3 miles, having beaten Empire of Dirt.

Favourite – Djakadam
Value Tip / Bet – Sizing John
Each Way – Native River

 

David’s Tips for the Day

Each Way Double – Defi Du Seuil ( 1.30pm) and Air Horse One (2.10pm)

Single Win – Death Duty (2.50pm)

Each Way Single  – Native River (3.30pm)
