13.13 Changing Young Lives At Jamie’s Farm Fillies’ Juvenile Handicap Hurdle

LA LUNA ARTISTA made it three wins from four starts in this sphere when collecting a Grade 2 event last time out and is the one to beat on handicap debut. However, MADE U BLUSH is going from strength-to-strength and should be able to go well in her hat-trick quest.

Tips: LA LUNA ARTISTA & MADE U BLUSH

13.45 bet365 Novices’ Championship Final Handicap Hurdle

Paul Nicholls had a good record in this event, so MINELLA YOGA must be worthy of consideration, having already won three of her four starts at over timber. COSMIC CONNECTION has a lot of weight to shoulder but this progressive five-year-old is another to consider.

14.20 bet365 Oaksey Chase (Grade 2)

BLOW YOUR WAD has been consistent all season and deservedly returned to winning ways at Chepstow when last seen. He is favoured by the weights and will prove a tough nut to crack, though MATTERHORN is interesting stepping up in distance and is a danger if he stays the trip.

Tips: BLOW YOUR WAD & MATTERHORN

14.55 bet365 Celebration Chase (Grade 1)

JONBON has an unbelievable record of finishing in the first two and looks ready to conclude his campaign with victory in a race that he’s won twice in the past. THISTLE ASK has been saved for the race though and is the likely alternative if a long season has caught up with Nicky Henderson’s star chaser.

Tips: JONBON & THISTLE ASK

15.30 bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase

HAVAILA claimed the Sussex National on the bridle last time out and could have a lot more to come over staying distances. I think he’s a major player in the hat-trick bid. ROAD TO HOME finished a good second at Cheltenham and much respected, with the same applied to IN’DOR,

Tips: HAVAILA, ROAD TO HOME & IN’DOR

16.02 bet365 Select Hurdle (Grade 2)

KABRAL DU MATHAN looked like he was going to bolt up in the Stayers’ Hurdle before his stamina gave out. He still finished an honourable fourth, and this is a much easier task, so he’s fancied to make his class count and end a glittering season for the Skelton’s on a high.

Tips: KABRAL DU MATHAN
