UK Horse Racing Tips: Cheltenham

A typically competitive contest and slight preference is for PINNACLE PEAK, who won in good style over 2m4f at this venue last time and is taken to follow up that success. Martin Keighley's charge has been raised 6lb in the ratings for that near five-length win, which could prove lenient now Harry Atkins claims 10lb in the plate. Doughmore Bay rates as the biggest danger to the selection on a workable mark for his handicap bow, while Uncle Bert is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Pinnacle Peak 2nd Doughmore Bay 3rd Uncle Bert

TRIPLE TRADE showed a likeable attitude when willingly running on into second over C&D last time and this 1lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to stop him going one place better this time. The seven-year-old arrives here for the in-form Joe Tizzard stable and, with winning form on heavy ground in the past, he ticks plenty of boxes. Calico is feared most after a good campaign last term which culminated in a stab at the Grade 1 Maghull Novices' Chase, while No Risk Des Flos heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Triple Trade 2nd Calico 3rd No Risk Des Flos

Despite just four runners lining up here, this race still appears to be a difficult puzzle to solve with a tentative vote going the way of the Irish raider MIGHTY TOM. Cian Collins' charge was a modest second behind the classy Letsbeclearaboutit in a Grade 3 contest over 2m4f at Cork last time and should go well. Colin Tizzard saddled Eldorado Allen to victory in this contest in 2020 and Joe Tizzard has solid claims of repeating the feat with JPR One after his comfortable win at Newton Abbot, while Homme Public and Petit Tonnerre can follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Mighty Tom 2nd JPR One 3rd Homme Public

LATENIGHTPASS finished a cracking fourth in the Foxhunters at Aintree in April and makes his belated handicap bow now under the tutelage of Dan Skelton. The veteran's opening mark looks workable and he may be able to get the better of Delta Work, who must concede 22lb to the selection. The son of Network has two victories to his name in this sphere and he is likely to be in the mix once more, with his stablemate Galvin unlikely to be far away.
Prediction : 1st Latenightpass 2nd Delta Work 3rd Galvin

Champion Bumper third Captain Teague is sure to prove popular after opening his account over hurdles in the Persian War at Chepstow last month. However, Paul Nicholls' inmate may need to jump more fluently in this deeper contest to complete a double and it could be worth taking a punt on KINBARA. A wide-margin winner on both starts over hurdles to date, the son of Mahler ticks plenty of the right boxes. The Big Doyen rates best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kinbara 2nd Captain Teague 3rd The Big Doyen

Dual hurdles winner CAITHNESS undoubtedly faces his toughest assignment to date. Nevertheless, the seven-year-old won with enough authority on his handicap debut at Kelso last month to suggest that an 8lb rise in the handicap might not be enough to halt his progression. The 121-rated Impose Toi enters this sphere off a workable mark given that his Huntingdon conqueror Brentford Hope has recently romped home off a mark of 122 at Newbury. Tintintin and Showman can also get competitive.
Prediction : 1st Caithness 2nd Impose Toi 3rd Tintintin
