Saturday’s ITV racing covers the final meeting of the jumps season, with the BET365 Gold Cup likely to be the big betting race of the afternoon. This premier handicap has a long history, with fans with longer memories knowing it fondly as “The Whitbread”, and it always produces a thrilling finish up the stamina sapping final climb. Flat fans have a couple of tricky handicaps to solve from Haydock and Leicester, with decent prize money on offer across all three tracks sure to attract cracking field sizes.
In this article:
Editeur Du Gite
Sandown 1:40 (UK time)
Gary Moore has enjoyed a fantastic season overall, and his bold frontrunner could take plenty of catching round this demanding track. He is a brilliant jumper when allowed to dominate proceedings from the tape, and an attacking ride from the brilliant Niall Houlihan here could soon take these Grade 1 rivals out of their comfort zone.
Odds: NA
Beau Balko
Sandown 1:05 (UK time)
Paul Nicholls progressive novice improved over this course and distance in February, and that form has been well advertised subsequently by the second, third and fourth home. He lost no caste in defeat last time when touched off at Stratford, and there should still be plenty more improvement in the tank after five career starts over hurdles.
Odds: NA
Odds are best odds available as at 9am April 29th 2023. Odds may now differ.
Time (UK) | Track | Horse | Analysis |
---|---|---|---|
1:05 | Sandown | Beau Balko | Paul Nicholls progressive novice improved over this course and distance in February, and that form has been well advertised subsequently by the second, third and fourth home. He lost no caste in defeat last time when touched off at Stratford, and there should still be plenty more improvement in the tank after five career starts over hurdles. |
1:40 | Sandown | Editeur Du Gite | Gary Moore has enjoyed a fantastic season overall, and his bold frontrunner could take plenty of catching round this demanding track. He is a brilliant jumper when allowed to dominate proceedings from the tape, and an attacking ride from the brilliant Niall Houlihan here could soon take these Grade 1 rivals out of their comfort zone. |
2:15 | Sandown | Tea Clipper | Tom Lacey’s chaser is relatively unexposed granted a stiff test of stamina, and he shaped well in the Ultima at the Festival last time out behind the subsequent Aintree Grand National winner Corach Rambler. This will be his first try beyond 3m1f in 8 career starts over fences, but he has often shaped as though a proper test will suit and is a lot less exposed than most of these handicappers. |
2:50 | Sandown | Solo | Paul Nicholls classy chaser comes into this valuable Grade 2 relatively fresh after a light campaign, and the drying ground conditions expected at Sandown on Saturday should suit ideally. |
3:05 | Leicester | Al Mubhir | William Haggas maintains a brilliant strike rate throughout the turf season, and his progressive 4-y-o should be sharper for an excellent fifth in the William Hill Lincoln on his seasonal reappearance. |
3:25 | Sandown | Hudson De Grugy | Gary Moore’s team remain in great form even now the ground has begun to dry up in the spring, and his consistent young chaser has been shaping well in defeat in recent months until winning gamely over this course and distance last time out. He is a bold jumper best from the front, and his tenacious attitude under pressure can prove a big asset up the final climb. |
03:45 | Haydock | Northern Express | Michael Dods tends to leave a bit to work on with his early runners first time out, and his reliable handicapper should be a lot fitter now with his seasonal reappearance under his belt. |
