Watch: The Racehour Previews A Huge Weekend At Cheltenham
The Racehour team returns with a packed episode as focus shifts to a blockbuster weekend at Cheltenham.
With competitive handicaps, rising stars and Grade-class potential on show, it promises drama from the first flag.
Host Rory Jiwani is joined by Ed Quigley, Gary Connolly and Pat Cooney of Bet365, each bringing strong opinions and sharp selections.
As the Paddy Power Chase and Greatwood Hurdle take centre stage, the panel break down key storylines, major dangers and hidden betting angles.
They also share their best bets, including Pat’s pick and a bold double-figure play from Ed.
Paddy Power Chase: Big Opinions & Big Prices
The lads waste no time diving into Saturday’s feature, the Paddy Power Chase, one of the most competitive handicap chases of the year.
Fresh from tipping last week’s winning nap, Pat Cooney is sticking his neck out again - and he’s very strong on Jagwar, believing everything about the race sets up perfectly for him.
Ed Quigley also has the feature race firmly in his sights and has gone hunting for value, napping a 16/1 shot with horse racing betting sites which he feels is being overlooked by the market - but you’ll have to watch the show to find out exactly which horse has caught his eye.
Across the panel, there’s robust debate on the shape of the race, potential improvers, and whether any dark horses might sneak into the picture as the pace unfolds around Prestbury Park.
Greatwood Hurdle, Sunday Highlights & A Rising Star
Attention turns to Sunday’s action and the always-intriguing Greatwood Hurdle, a race famous for producing future festival contenders.
The panel analyse the key runners, assessing which horses look ready to peak and which may need more time.
The final race catches Gary Connolly’s eye, as he is very keen on Bud Fox, believing the horse has all the qualities of a top prospect and could win on his way to the Champion Bumper in March.
With form clues emerging throughout the weekend, the lads round things off with their strongest Sunday selections.
