Today’s Cheltenham Lucky 15 tips
13:20 Cheltenham – Highland Crystal @ 17/2
14:00 Cheltenham – Joyeuse @ 9/1
14:40 Cheltenham – Panic Attack @ 5/2
15:20 Cheltenham – Doctor Steinberg @ 7/2
13:20 Cheltenham – Highland Crystal @ 17/2
Gordon Elliott’s Highland Crystal took the scalp of Tuesday’s Fred Winter winner Saratoga when scoring at Naas last month and, whilst more will be required if she’s to land the Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle, she brings the same rating into the race as market leader Selma De Vary and represents far better value at around three times the price.
The selection is unbeaten in three starts under Rules, all of them hurdle races, and she’s shown significant improvement each time, running to Racing Post Ratings of 112 when scoring by 12-lengths at Punchestown, 116 when landing a Listed event at Newbury and 129 when edging out the aforementioned Saratoga 34 days ago.
14:00 Cheltenham – Joyeuse @ 9/1
The addition of first-time cheekpieces may eke out enough improvement from the Nicky Henderson-trained Joyeuse to see her overcome a mark of 135 in a typically competitive County Hurdle.
The seven-year-old, who finished a creditable sixth behind Lossiemouth (beaten 13.5 lengths) in the Grade 1 Mares’ Hurdle at last year’s Festival, ran respectably in a couple of chase outings earlier this season, but she’s clearly at her most effective over hurdles and shaped with significant promise in a Grade 2 behind the re-opposing Ooh Betty at Ascot in January.
She finished last of the four runners on that occasion, but she was only beaten four-lengths and would likely have gone close to winning but for making a bad mistake at the last. The handicapper has dropped her 3lb since and that gives her strong claims.
14:40 Cheltenham – Panic Attack @ 5/2
The Dan Skelton-trained Panic Attack has enjoyed a fabulous season and looks more than capable of serving it up to Willie Mullins’ Dinoblue, who bids for back-to-back wins in the Grade 2 Mares’ Chase.
The 10-year-old has rattled off a perfect hat-trick this season, making it four wins in her last five starts, with victories in the Paddy Power Gold Cup here in November, the Coral Gold Cup (formerly the Hennessy) at Newbury and a facile success in mares’ only company back at the Berkshire track in January.
She’s gone from a mark of 135 to 147 this season, which still leaves her a fair bit to find with the 159-rated Dinoblue, who will be conceding 3lb.
However, confidence in the Skelton camp is high – her owner Bryan Drew – already successful on Tuesday with Madara – certain she was his best chance of a winner this week.
15:20 Cheltenham – Doctor Steinberg @ 7/2
Representing a yard that has won this race four times since 2017, Doctor Steinberg is fully deserving of his position at the top of the market having impressed when winning a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival over 2m6f last time.
He was good in bumpers last season, but has taken his form to a whole new level since switching to hurdles this term, improving by 10lb with each of his three hurdles wins according to Racing Post Ratings (129, 139 and 149).
He’s won on ground ranging from good to heavy and had little trouble beating one of his chief market rivals, Thedeviluno, at Navan in December. He’s yet to race beyond 2m6f, but he hit the line strongly at Leopardstown at the start of last month and looks a relentless galloper.
