1.30pm – Cheltenham

Day three of the Cheltenham Festival gets underway with the Grade 1 Turners Novices Chase over two miles and four furlongs. A perfect 3/3 over fences, MIGHTY POTTER 6/5 should take all the beating. Novicey on his chasing debut, he put in a classy performance to win the Grade 1 Drinmore, before sprinting away from his rivals to land the Grade 1 Ladbrokes Novices Chase at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Physically, he is a big, scopey, athletic type and it is testament to Mighty Potter’s ability that he was able to win two Grade 1’s over the minimum trip as a novice hurdler. He appears to have improved for a fence and is officially rated 10lbs higher than his main market rivals Appreciate It and Banbridge.

They both have excellent pieces of Cheltenham form which is the one major concern surrounding Mighty Potter. He was pulled up in last season’s Supreme but never appeared to travel a yard, making a shuddering mistake at the fourth. Found to be lame post-race and clearly outpaced on very quick ground in behind a ferocious gollop, I think you can easily forgive the run. The step up in trip over fences has played to his strengths and I believe the New Course will really suit him.

Of his main market rivals, I would favour the chances of Appreciate It. Banbridge benefitted from dropping off a frenetic gallop last time out and was subsequently ridden to pick up the pieces. I have no doubt Appreciate It can improve for this step up in trip and I think Townend may adopt similar front running tactics to twelve months ago aboard Galopin Des Champs. Whether he is good enough to outstay Mighty Potter up the hill, remains to be seen. I think Mighty Potter may just have too much class and he will sit just off Appreciate It before delivering a knockout blow approaching the last.

 

2.50pm – Cheltenham

SHISHKIN 5/6 heads the betting for the nineteenth running of the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase. Nicky Henderson’s star chaser bounced back to form with an emphatic sixteen-length success in the Grade 1 Betfair Ascot Chase. Pulled up in last season’s Champion Chase, question marks remained when Shishkin finished a distant third to Edwardstone in the Tingle Creek on his seasonal reappearance.

Reported to be suffering with physical issues, many questioned whether we would see Shishkin at his best again. There was a camera angle of him after the line in the Tingle Creek where he did appear full of running and now we know he clearly thrives over the added distance, it may be possibly his two substandard runs were simply down to the trip.

Officially rated 174, he’s miles clear of his rivals on ratings and has excellent Festival form, winning the 2020 Supreme and 2021 Arkle. On paper he should take the world of beating, it is just whether he can back up that Ascot run after a relatively quick turnaround. If he does, he’s miles better than his opposition here.

 

3:30pm – Cheltenham 

The 3:30 is the second of the two features, the Grade 1 Paddy Power Stayers Hurdle over 3m.

It’s BLAZING KHAL (3/1) NAP that I think will win here. I think he’s the best horse in the race and you couldn’t not be encouraged by his comeback effort last time out at Navan when beating a decent field in the Boyne Hurdle. He was possibly the best 3m novice hurdle last season and although he’s very fragile, when he’s right, he has shown to be top class. Charles Byrnes knows the time of day and has won this race before with Solwhit. I think it’s an open but not a strong renewal of the race and I think this new kid on the block is the one that could improve past the rest.

 

5:30pm – Cheltenham 

The finale on Day 3 is the Fluke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup, a race over 3m2f for the amateur jockeys. It looks a competitive renewal in my opinion.

I like STUMPTOWN (4/1) here. A 6-year old that is really on the upgrade, he jumps well, travels well and he won going away over 3m at Sandown last time out suggesting this extra 2f will be no issue. I think he’s better than a mark of 135 and top amateur jockey Barry O’Neill is a very good jockey booking for him. I think he’ll sit handy and use the horses’ good jumping ability to put a lot of these in trouble early doors.
