Cheltenham Day Four: Gold Cup glory for Henderson and Might Bite?

Conditions were the same or similar those races as they will be today. It’s difficult to see Santini out of the first two, but if things go right, he should win.

3:30 Gold Cup – Might Bite

It was a difficult decision in a field full of quality, but Might Bite gets the Coral News Team’s backing at the prices.

Henderson has already won the two of the big festival features with Buveur D’Air and Altior. Can the English champion trainer add a third with Might Bite?

Last year’s RSA winner put in one of the most impressive performances in many a year in that race. And the King George winner has gone from strength to strength since.

The ground will be a slight concern but with an unrivalled cruising speed amongst this field and huge stamina, he’ll take all the beating here.

Cheltenham Day Four Racing Tips

1:30 JCB Triumph Hurdle – Apple’s Shakira

2:10 County Handicap Hurdle – Divin Bere e/w: Second to Flying Tiger in the Fred Winter last year, is now off a 7lb lower mark. Could be a player at a big price.

2:50 Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle – Santini

3:30 Gold Cup – Might Bite

4:10 Foxhunter Challenge Cup Open Hunters’ Chase – Caid Du Berlais e/w: In a big field, it may be prudent to look down the betting. Caid Du Berlais for Paul Nicholls looks an interesting e/w bet at a big price. Has three easy wins under his belt recently and could at least hit the frame.

4:50 Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle – Lough Derg Spirit e/w: Step up in trip here will suit Nicky Henderson’s charge who looked a little out of place a Newbury in February.

5:30 Grand Annual Challenge Cup – Le Prezien e/w: Second to Rock The World here last year. Finished runner-up to Splash of Ginge here in November. Definitely player.
