Ruby Walsh’s Friday Cheltenham Picks
13:30 – Bunting (each way)
14:10 – Leau Du Sud
14:50 – Readin Tommy Wrong
15:30 – Galopin Des Champs
16:10 – Its On The Line
16:50 – Dinoblue
17:30 – Quai De Bourbon & Ocastle Des Mottes (each way)
13:30 – Bunting (each way)
Willie Mullins has plenty of runners including Majborough, Storm Heart, Kargese and Bunting. There isn’t much between them all so I’ll take Bunting at a bigger each-way price.
14:10 – Leau Du Sud
Zenta is Willie Mullins’ best chance but I’m with Leau Du Sud. Dan Skelton told me he really fancies him, as he did with Unexpected Party who bolted up on Wednesday, so I’ll side with him!
14:50 – Readin Tommy Wrong
I’m with Readin Tommy Wrong. He’s the classiest horse in this race but keep an eye on Dancing City, who finished second behind Ballyburn and ahead of Slade Steel at Punchestown last year.
15:30 – Galopin Des Champs
I’ve been with Galopin Des Champs for a long time and I like everything about him. He was very good last year and he’s the best horse in here. Fastorslow will most likely chase him home. Corach Rambler or Gerri Colombe will likely be third.
16:10 – Its On The Line
I’d be lying if I said I had a really strong fancy in this but I’ll side with Its On The Line for Emmet Mullins. He’s won his last three and he’ll relish the stamina test.
16:50 – Dinoblue
Allegorie De Vassy has improved considerably but Dinoblue is the standout. She’s got rock solid form and she’ll be hard to beat.
17:30 – Quai De Bourbon & Ocastle Des Mottes (each way)
Willie Mullins has Quai De Bourbon at the top of the market and he could be ahead of the handicapper. Ocastle Des Mottes makes appeal to me as he will show improvement from stepping up in trip.
