The Weekend Winners panel return with the perfect betting insights for Cheltenham’s November assembly.
Kate Tracey, Sam Boswell and Declan Rix took specific curiosity in Saturday’s Paddy Energy Gold Cup Handicap Chase – ran over two miles and 4 furlongs at Prestbury Park.
With 4 wins from his final 5 begins, Jagwar heads the market within the JP McManus silks with Vincenzo and final 12 months’s winner Il Ridoto additionally in situ.
At The Races’ Declan Rix…
“I believed this race is predicated round Jagwar – the market chief. I do know he is a Cheltenham Competition winner however I am not too certain concerning the type in behind him. Having achieved the steady tour for the yard, they are saying he has made progress bodily from final 12 months. I do not suppose he is effectively handicapped, however he may very well be the potential star.
“At the prices I’m going to side with Hoe Joly Smoke from the Dan Skelton yard. Harry Skelton has discarded the ride on him for Panic Attack, but Kielan Woods could suit the style of this fella – being a hold up and picking them off late. He looked in good order with himself last time out and the step back in trip should suit.”
Host Kate Tracey…
“I am with final 12 months’s winner Il Ridoto as he matches essentially the most developments you want to win this race. He helped me tipping him up on this race final 12 months and he nonetheless matches all of the developments this 12 months. He made a satisfying return at Chepstow when tiring late on and making an error on the final when Paul Nicholls’ horses are needing the run.
“Ideally you want a seven-year-old for this race but he’s only eight. You need to be prominent in this race which he will be, and you need to have had a prep run which he has. With headgear refitted I think he can go back-to-back in this race.”
Sam Boswell…
“You will not find a more in-form trainer than Sam Thomas and he brings Vincenzo to this race. His last seven runners have seen five wins. His runner here hasn’t been seen much over this trip which is a question mark. He got nabbed at Newbury by a possible miracle ride and he ran such a good race. His record first time out is also a question mark, but his yard is too good to discount.
“He is across the 5-1 mark and he is the one to tackle the highest of the market. The Irish have an terrible report on this race which is value retaining in thoughts, having not received it for about 20 years.”
