Ruby Walsh’s Wednesday Cheltenham Picks

13:30 – Ballyburn & Jimmy Du Seuil (each way)
14:10 – Fact To File
14:50 – First Street (each way)
15:30 – Jonbon (each way)
16:10 – Coko Beach
16:50 – Libberty Hunter & Saint Roi
17:30 – Argento Boy (each way)

13:30 – Ballyburn & Jimmy Du Seuil (each way)

Willie Mullins has plenty of runners in here and I’m a huge fan of Ballyburn. He’s a short price and a value pick could be Jimmy Du Seuil to be placed. He’s an each-way shout if eight runners line up.

 

 

14:10 – Fact To File

Broadway Boy not running makes this a tougher task for Stay Away Fay. It’ll be a tricky ride for Harry Cobden against Fact To File and his chances have been enhanced. He’ll be too quick for the rest of these.

14:50 – First Street (each way)

I’m with First Street for Nicky Henderson. He’s on a respectable mark and he’s a decent each-way price. Sa Majeste is good but I can’t be taking him at a short price.

15:30 – Jonbon (each way)

It’s El Fabiolo v Jonbon again. I’m siding with Jonbon at the prices with El Fabiolo being so short. Nicky Henderson’s runner is the only other horse in the race that can win.

 

16:10 – Coko Beach

The soft ground has put me off Galvin and I’m with Gordon Elliott’s other runner Coko Beach instead. He’s been running really well and he’ll relish the testing ground.

16:50 – Libberty Hunter & Saint Roi

I’m being greedy and having two picks: Libberty Hunter and Saint Roi. The latter has ran well for Willie Mullins and I was really impressed with Libberty Hunter in his last two wins.

 

 

17:30 – Argento Boy (each way)

I’ve been with Argento Boy for a while and I’m not deserting him. He’ll stay well and he’ll enjoy the going. He’s a good each-way shout.
