Chase Cheltenham cheer

Cheltenham festival trials abound today as a whole host of fascinating races take place across Britain and Ireland.

Big Buck’s is clearly star of the show but, as usual these days, is no betting proposition and therefore we will have took elsewhere for our selections.

Twitter for daily banter …

While our tips will appear on this website, a lot of our daily chit-chat, thoughts or general nonsense in the run-up to Cheltenham will appear on our Twitter page.

Helpfully, all our Twitter updates (@FreeRacingTips) appear on the left-hand side of all our pages in the black and green widget.

Rubi, Rubi, Rubi

Fear not that the Cheltenham Festival may be two months away, now is the time to get serious with a proper punt on Rubi Light for the Ryanair Chase.

We are recommending a two point win, one point place bet at 8/1 on the 7yo.

Three to Strike?

It’s a tricky Saturday for punting, especially as our biggest fancy was at abandoned Wetherby, so we’ll go sensibly today - as we may have an ante-post bet on Sunday.

We’ve got three to mention, not account bets but worth an interest.

Pricewise follows us in!

The excellent Pricewise column in the Racing Post has been in good form lately so it was reassuring to see him make Oscars Well his selection for the Champion Hurdle today.

We pinched all the 25/1 non-runner, no bet with Ladbrokes on Saturday so hopefully you’re all on at the best price with the great money back offer - he’s now 16s.

Get the Champion Hurdle value …

One winner and two placed from our three suggestions for an each-way double on Saturday - and how did Colour Squadron throw victory away? - so nothing lost there.

However, now is the time for an ante-post investment on the Cheltenham Festival.

Consider favourites …

We’ve been racking our brains trying to find value bets or over-priced outsiders for today but, in truth, it’s the shorter-priced runners that catch the eye more.

Therefore we’ll put up three well-fancied horses that you can back in singles or perhaps pick two for an each-way double - at their current odds, two placed will get you your money back.

DAILY RACING ODDS - ALL MEETINGS

Stop at Newbury

It’s not the best Saturday’s racing ever so, while we have no strong bets for you, there are a couple of runners at Newbury that are worth a mention.

Walkon has long been a Cheltenham Festival Tips favourite but he’s conceding seven pounds to For Non Stop and that might prove just beyond him in the 2.05. Read more »

Hurdle intrigue …

We couldn’t tip him at a short price on his chasing debut but we love Hidden Cyclone and he looked the part when scoring at Leopardstwon today.

We’ll be folowing him closely in the months ahead.

Don’t miss Mourad

Tuesday’s Twitter tips ran with credit, none more so than Giles Cross.

He posted a superb effort in the Welsh National to reward our each-way support but, for a long way, he looked the winner before finally Le Beau Bai outgunned him.

Our 25/1 shot Ad Idem was a close 8th and now we have another bet at Leopardstown.

Mourad has an outstanding chance in the Christmas Hurdle (2.00) - don’t miss Ladbrokes’ 6/4! Read more »
