Horse racing tips: Cheltenham, Doncaster and Newbury on ITV1 – Matt Chapman’s top betting preview for Saturday, October 28
Get all the info to bash the bookies as ITV's Matt Chapman runs you through a busy Saturday
A HUGE day on ITV this Saturday with some top notch jumps action at Cheltenham, Aidan O'Brien trying to become a record breaker at Doncaster and there's some decent stuff at Newbury as well.
Plenty to get stuck into as I try to take a few quid off my friends at Sunbets!
I'll be at Cheltenham for ITV, and the 2pm is a handicap chase over 3m1f. The one I want a few quid on is DOING FINE for Neil Mulholland and Noel Fehily. My hope had a spin over hurdles just the other day and had some superb handicap chase form last season.
The conditions hurdle over an extended 2m at 2.35pm has cut up with Defi de Seuil not declared. On ratings it should now be easy for the Dan Skelton-trainer BEDROCK, who is going for a hat-trick of wins.
2.00 Cheltenham - Doing Fine: 'Recent spin over hurdles should help and has some top handicap chase form'
2.15 Newbury - Raheen House: 'Stays very well and is pretty classy on a going day'
2.35 Cheltenham - Bedrock: 'On ratings it should be easy now Defi Du Seuil doesn't run'
2.50 Newbury - Dream Today: 'Mark Johnston's horse could outstay his rivals'
2.55 Doncaster - Reshoun: 'This isn't a great contest but he's in form for Ian Williams'
3.10 Cheltenham - Foxtail Hill: 'Should make a bold effort from the front'
3.25 Doncaster - Saxon Warrior: 'Can give Aidan O'Brien a record breaking win'
3.45 Cheltenham - Whataknight: 'Has an each-way shout following a decent third last time'
4.00 Doncaster - Orion's Bow: 'Was banging on the door earlier this season and now looks well handicapped'
Finally, ITV show a couple of races from Newbury, including the Group 3 St Simon over 1m4f at 2.15pm. A wide open contest but RAHEEN HOUSE stays very well and is pretty classy on a going day. He was no match for Capri in the St Leger two runs ago but has place claims here.
And last but not least there is the Group 3 Horris Hill over 7f at 2.50pm. I like DREAM TODAY, who has a high rating off 107 and ran a decent race when second last time at Newmarket. Mark Johnston's hope may outstay a few of these.
So best of luck. Let's hope for some Yeeehaaas. You Betcha!
