Hughie Morrison’s Starzaan was one of our Cheltenham tips last year but didn’t jump well enough to land the spoils in the RSA Chase.

A fascinating weekend’s racing saw some reputations dented and some improved - with the defeat of Lambourn’s major Cheltenham tip Ainama providing a particular shock.
Lough Derg, Hebridean (might not go to Cheltenham), Nacarat (ditto), Trenchant and Lios A Choill enjoyed good victories but haven’t exactly shook the markets.
Trenchant defeated Ainama but trainer Alan King clearly rates stablemate Walkon much, much higher […]

Cheltenham Festival Tips’ betting portfolio got off to a profitable start as Notre Pere landed the place part of our each-way bet on him at 10/1 for the Hennessy Irish Gold Cup.
Neptunes Collonges had his measure today but our 50/1 voucher for the big one at Cheltenham holds plenty of appeal.
The extra distance at Prestbury Park will suit him perfectly […]
