Bet of the day: Call To Order the value bet on Cheltenham New Year card

Coral’s bet of the day

• Call To Order has win and place around Cheltenham on last two starts
• Selection recorded course and distance victory when previously in action
• Jonjo O’Neill gelding still races off joint bottom weight

Call To Order odds appeal to follow up for O’Neill

Taking Call To Order odds look the best value on a cracking New Year’s Day card at Cheltenham, so Coral’s horse racing experts have no hesitation in recommending him as their bet of the day for January 1.

Hailing from the stable of Irish trainer Jonjo O’Neill, this six-year-old gelding is a course and distance winner around Prestbury Park from December, scoring in a similar class 2 handicap hurdle over an extended 2m 7f to the one he’s pitched in today (14:35).

Under Aidan Coleman, Call To Order tracked the leaders to go second three out and take up the running two from the finish before being driven clear in the closing stages for a 3 3/4 lengths success over a field of 11 others.

Handicapper kind to selection

Despite slightly wandering across the Cheltenham track after clearing the final flight, this – like his previous run – was a prominent performance from Call To Order.
