The Advisor - Cheltenham 2.55 Handicap Hurdle - Class 2 - 3 miles - 15 run - Soft

 

The likes of polish who is uber consistent but in deeper here can't be discounted and along with Come on Teddy who may need the run, Shan Blue who may also need the spin, Chantry House another who will likely need the run and a confidence boost after a crashing fall over fences the last time we saw it and The Newest One who also may need the run, are types that COULD pop up but likely here for a confidence and fitness boosting pipeopener.

 

Having weeded out others who I don't think are quite good enough and in collaboration with Derek (The Advisor) we believe the value lies with the following.

 

We both agree that PLACENET is the one they very much all have to beat and it has been bet accordingly so a unanimous 2 point win bet. I'm then very keen on the chances of BUDDY ONE and NOBLE BIRTH , BUDDY ONE has some excellent Course form and will definitely be primed. NOBLE BIRTH is race fit and ready to go and carries some real stable confidence, and for some shrapnel from me WALKING ON GLASS a proven mud loving stayer just got the nod over Real Steel who has it's first hurdle run since 2018 but for whom connections are I'm told quietly confident. I'll have a £1 saver on that. 

 

The other one The Advisor really liked(s) id JUDICIAL LAW but having reconvened in the past hour we both feel that the rain is a big negative for this one.

 

Tips (1) Placenet / (2) Buddy One / (3) Noble Birth / (4s) Walking On Glass (5s if you want - Real Steel)
