Triumph Hurdle – Goshen

In the opening race of the day, punters are piling into the favourite, Goshen. He has been mightily impressive on all three starts hurdling, winning by a combined margin of 68 lengths. His tendency to jump to the right clearly doesn’t have backers concerned. His engine is there for all to see and could take some stopping. He is a best price of 9/4.

Gold Cup – Al Boum Photo

Oddschecker users think they have found their Gold Cup winner in the form of Al Boum Photo. Last year’s winner has had an identical preparation to last year and if he is at his best then should go very close. He faces a tougher task this year with the likes of Delta Work and Santini but Willie Mullins’ star is being very well backed for more Gold Cup glory.  Al Boum Photo is the 3/1 favourite for the race.

Foxhunter Chase – Shantou Flyer

In the Foxhunter Chase, Shantou Flyer is being backed to go one better than last year and pick up this prize. Beaten by Hazel Hill in the 2019 renewal, Shantou Flyer has won two out of two starts this season and looks primed for another big run. David Maxwell will take the ride and what a story it would be if they could both win at the Cheltenham Festival. Punters certainly think they will, with the ten-year-old shortening into a best price of 6/1.
