Saturday's Horse Racing Tips: Cheltenham, Doncaster, December 10th

Today’s Racing Tips – December 10th

There are 7 races on ITV on Saturday, with the cameras covering the best of the jumping action from Cheltenham and Doncaster. The highlight of the afternoon comes at Prestbury Park, where the Grade 2 Unibet International hurdle should provide an early guide to the leading contenders for the Champion Hurdle in March (or, more accurately, whether any live dangers to the long odds-on superstar Constitution Hill will emerge).

At Doncaster, the best of the juveniles so far will lock horns in the Summit Hurdle at 1.30pm, while there are some cracking and valuable handicaps on both cards for the punters to get stuck into.

• Today’s Value Angle

Today’s Daily Nap

Knappers Hill

Cheltenham 2:25 (UK time)

Paul Nicholls progressive novice has really thrived this winter under some positive rides at Chepstow and Wincanton, and he can improve past more exposed rivals and land this Grade 2 under Harry Cobden. He is just the type to make up into a cracking chaser in time, but has really thrived since allowed to stride on from the front, and the decent ground expected at Prestbury Park on Saturday should suit ideally.

Odds: NA

Today’s Value Angle

Nina the Terrier

Cheltenham 3:35 (UK time)

Alan King’s mare caught the eye in the Greatwood here over two miles in November, racing wide throughout and briefly threatening to challenge moving smoothly into things down the hill behind I Like to Move It. That run was something of a confidence-restorer after a nasty fall, and the step back up in trip to 2m4f should suit ideally (ran really well over it when second at Newbury in April in a Grade 2 novice hurdle).

Odds: NA

Odds are best odds available as at 2am December 10th 2022. Odds may now differ.

ITV Racing Tips – Saturday December 10th

Time (UK)	Track	Horse	Analysis
1:30	Doncaster	Nusret	Joseph O’Brien’s useful flat performer made the perfect start over hurdles when winning at Punchestown in November, and this listed prize at Doncaster looks the perfect opening to follow up under Daryl Jacob.
1:50	Cheltenham	Simply the Betts	Paul Nicholls handicapper probably needed the run when below par here in November, weakening from the last having suffered interference when briefly threatening to get into things coming down the hill. He will appreciate these drying ground conditions under David Maxwell, and has plenty of excellent course and distance form in the book last season.
2:25	Cheltenham	Knappers Hill	Paul Nicholls progressive novice has really thrived this winter under some positive rides at Chepstow and Wincanton, and he can improve past more exposed rivals and land this Grade 2 under Harry Cobden. He is just the type to make up into a cracking chaser in time, but has really thrived since allowed to stride on from the front, and the decent ground expected at Prestbury Park on Saturday should suit ideally.
2:40	Doncaster	Maninsane	Charlie Longsden is enjoying a purple patch at the moment, and his 7-y-o looked one to follow when winning at Huntingdon in November. He now has a career mark to defy in a better race, but there should be plenty more improvement in the tank after just four runs over fences.
3:00	Cheltenham	Outlaw Peter	Paul Nicholls useful performer looks much more the finished article this season, settling better in the early stages and cruising home alone on the bridle at Kempton and Exeter. This represents a stiffer assignment upped to a Grade 2, but he will appreciate the step up to three miles for the first time and the decent ground would be his optimum.
3:15	Doncaster	Fearless Action	Chris Grant’s 6-y-o remains with plenty of upside after just four career runs over hurdles, and fitness is unlikely to be an issue after over 11 months off the track (with the yard well capable of getting one ready and the booking of the excellent claimer Danny McMenamin increasing confidence).
3:35	Cheltenham	Nine the Terrier	Alan King’s mare caught the eye in the Greatwood here over two miles in November, racing wide throughout and briefly threatening to challenge moving smoothly into things down the hill behind I Like to Move It. That run was something of a confidence-restorer after a nasty fall, and the step back up in trip to 2m4f should suit ideally (ran really well over it when second at Newbury in April in a Grade 2 novice hurdle).
