THE BERNIE THE BOOK COLUMN GET OUT YOUR SHILLELAGH – IT’S FESTIVAL TIME!
I make no apologies for devoting this month’s Bernie the Book to the highlight of the National Hunt season – the Cheltenham Festival. Previous tips can be found in January and February’s column but they also can be viewed in our full digital version on the website. However, below are my up-to-date and latest selections.
THE BALLYMORE NOVICE HURDLE (Wednesday)
This looks a straight shoot-out between Willie Mullins’ Gaillard Du Mesnil and a fancied Henry de Bromhead star – BOB OLINGER and as all good western fans know, Bob Ollinger was the man who shot…Billy the Kid. Widely available at 9/2. I would advise a 20-unit win.
THE RSA (Wednesday)
I call it the RSA although this year it has been renamed but this three-mile Gold Cup for novices is still the RSA to me. Monkfish cannot really be opposed but no-one’s going to get rich at odds- on. Take a chance with EKLAT DE RIRE to at least place at 10/1, but back each-way or in markets without the favourite. Ten units each way.
THE STAYERS HURDLE (Thursday)
This year looks a weak renewal and the old guard don’t represent any great value. One horse that always runs well at Cheltenham is SIRE DU BERLAIS who has won a couple of handicaps over the last couple of years. Attractively priced at 8/1 I think he is a good each- way bet (five units each way), the cloud over his current trainer (Gordon Elliot) not being allowed to run any horses in England over the disgraceful photos that appeared recently notwithstanding.
MARCH 2021 TRIUMPH HURDLE (Friday)
Previously advised: Zanahiyr at 9/2. Anyone seeing the runaway TRITONIC recently can see why Alan King’s charge is a serious contender for this year’s renewal. Now a best priced 3/1 for the Juvenile Championship race he should be in most accumulators. 25 unit win.
THE ALBERT BARTLETT NOVICES (Friday)
The English can strike here via Paul Nichols’ unheralded BARBADOS BUCK’S at a juicy 10/1/ The Irish form looks patchy and I was quite taken by Barbados’s trial in January. Again a 10-unit win advised.
THE GOLD CUP (Friday)
Previously advised: Royal Pagaille 10/1. To supplement this I would advise a ten-unit win on A PLUS TARD at 6/1. Henry de Bromhead has long championed his star chaser and now the step-up to three miles plus, especially with the Cheltenham hill can play to his strengths.
A 50p win Heinz on the above horses for Cheltenham will cost £26.50 and your bet includes doubles through to the six-timer. The six-timer pays £83,853 at advised prices. Buy the beans, eat the foie gras!
