What a strategy to get began to the November assembly Cheltenham. An sudden winner in Minella Missile (tipped up right here) and Triple Commerce making some cash for the column. Nevertheless, Saturday is the massive day. The Paddy Energy Gold Cup takes centre stage, plus a mess of handicaps to get caught into. This week’s 4 To Comply with is…
Not A Huge Danger

1:45 – From The Horse’s Mouth Podcast Novices’ Chase (Listed) – Good Danger At All @ 15/8 (BetVictor)
Sam Thomas is without doubt one of the rising goal trainers, which means he targets sure races nicely. And with Good Danger At All he has positioned him in good firm. Some could argue that he received fortunate at Carlisle when Giovinco fell. However I urge to vary. He was extra stronger going to the road, with a lot in hand. I can’t belief Mister Coffey, not along with his final win coming in 2019.
Alaphilippe is one to contemplate for the place, or w/o, market. His file at Cheltenham will not be half unhealthy, regardless of his runs being on the brand new course. However a tighter observe could go well with going over stiffer fences, and 13/2 (William Hill) is one thing I can’t go away alone.
You’re Invited!

2:20 – Paddy Energy Gold Cup – Sudden Occasion @ 11/2 (Unibet, Boylesports, BetUK)
As quickly as Dan Skelton introduced he had this race in thoughts for Sudden Occasion after his victory at Chepstow final month, I needed to have him. I had a uncommon antepost wager with Sudden Occasion as quickly he beat Knappers Hill, who was a category act final week at Wincanton. His file on comparable surfaces is ideal and has competed on the Outdated Course coming second. I hope the shape and situations play into his favour.
A second choice is Simple As That. As quickly as I noticed what value he was in the course of the week, I assumed to again it. Now I have a look at his value, I remorse it. However I’ll nonetheless again him at an each-way value. His reappearance file is astonishing; 1124211. With 4 wins and two locations, who am I to argue in opposition to a Venetia Williams horse first outing at 9/1 (BetVictor, Boylesports).
And I’ve to present a point out to Il Ridoto. He’s an everyday over this C&D, or is since final season, and it’s his bread and butter. With Harry Cobden jocked aboard Stage Star, the thrilling Freddie Gingell will get the decision up for Chris Giles’ horse. With seven kilos taken off him, he falls to below a pound of his final profitable mark which was right here on Trials Day. 10/1 (Unibet) is a very enticing value.

3:30 – Intermediate H’cap Hurdle – Springwell Bay @ 2/1 (Common)
There’s a query why Springwell Bay has been dropped three kilos for ending mid division in a Grade One. He’s again to a profitable mark as a novice, on floor which he relishes, with a coach who’s in first rate kind. Jonjo O’Neill will need to go away with a winner at this assembly and that is probably his finest likelihood.
Londonofficecallin seems like he has gotten off calmly by the British handicapper. Rated the bottom weighted within the area, but raised 16lbds, he has been on the improve all Summer time for Emmet McNamara. Regardless of being three kilos out of the handicap, he’s nonetheless backside weight and has place worth at 11/2 (Common)
How Simple?

4:05 -Mares’ Open Nationwide Hunt Flat Race (Listed) – Simple Peasy @ 11/2 (Common)
I can’t imagine that Willie’s within the bumper is favorite for this race. If we’re happening what occurred on the October assembly, this Mullins flat horse has simply been despatched over for some form of practise and gained’t be seen on the Pageant. Simple Peasy has gained each of her begins by a mixed margin of five-and-a-half-lengths and might adapt to extra cheesy situations to present de Boinville and Henderson a back-to-back Fortunate Final.
Though, we’ll be on the karaoke if Disco Daisy wins the bumper. She’s received good worth, particularly when three horses she has beat have been positioned in future runs. With Minella Missile utilizing Chepstow to her benefit, may we see Emma Lavelle coaching the same sort for the longer term? 10/1 (William Hill, 888Sport) is a value I can get entangled in.
The easiest of luck!
