  17.30 Gamble Responsibly At BetUK Handicap IT’S A LOVE THING has a good record here and this C&D winner should make a bold bid to build on his latest third at the venue. SUSIESPARKLE had plenty up her sleeve when winning over C&D two weeks ago, though, and must be respected.

  Cheltenham Festival 2025: Five Handicappers To Follow

  I have looked ahead to a few of the handicaps at the Cheltenham Festival and nominated five horses who I believe should be given a second look and can be considered as each-way options.   Ballyadam Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle, Wednesday 12th March Could it be fifth time lucky at the Cheltenham Festival for Ballyadam?

  13.50 LiveScore Bet Best Odds Daily Novices’ Hurdle CRUDEN should find this easier than when fifth at Wetherby last time out and is one of the leading players. His main danger is AILT AN CHORRAIN, who chased home a smart one (Wendigo) at Wetherby and has the form in the book to make an impact.

  13.15 Ladbrokes ‘Big-Value You Can Bet On’ Handicap Hurdle PUNCTUATION should be fitter after his comeback run at Doncaster and the form of his victory at Aintree in 2023 reads well. He should be competitive, as should the consistent STONER’S CHOICE.

  16.55 Free Bets With BetUK Bet Club Handicap ROCK ARMOUR won with so much up his sleeve over C&D six days ago that he must be considered under his penalty. The headgear clearly worked a treat, so a similar performance should see him hard to beat.

  13.35 Download The Racing App Now Handicap Chase ALI STAR BERT won twice over C&D last season and has placed in a further three starts here this term. He wasn’t at his best last time out but still wasn’t beaten far into third, so he should remain competitive.
