Barry Geraghty Friday Cheltenham Tips
1:10 – Lycetts Insurance Brokers Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle 2m5f (Class 2): Gentle And Kind @ 15/2
“First up though there are four races on ITV4 on Friday and I reckon Henry De Bromhead — who has had his string in good form in Ireland — can take the first of them with GENTLE AND KIND
‘This one was a cosy winner at Tramore on soft ground last time out and catches my eye.
“She has only had two starts over hurdles, so I think there could be a good bit to come now starting off in handicaps.
“Mickey O’Connor, a very talented young Irish jockey, takes the ride.”
1:45 – Mucking Brilliant Paddy Power Handicap Chase 2m (Class 2): Calico @ 4/1
“CALICO gave Jonbon a massive fright in the Kingmaker at Warwick last season.
“He was booked for second place when he came down at the final fence at Aintree in Grade 1 company last time.
“That’s a strong level of form to bring back into a handicap like this and he should go well.”
2:20 – SSS Super Alloys Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices’ Chase 2m (Grade 2) (Class 1): Mighty Tom @ 5/2
“In the Arkle Trial , I like the look of MIGHTY TOM.
“He has some smart hurdles form, including when only beaten five lengths into sixth in the Galway Hurdle, and has seemed to take well to fences.
“He ran a nice race on his chase debut at Cork last time, finishing second to Letsbeclearaboutit, where he looked to settle much better and travel well for Danny Gilligan.
“Trainer Cian Collins is a very capable handler and does well when bringing these sorts of horses over to Britain.”
2:55 – Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase 3m5f (Class 2): Delta Work @ 5/2
“The Cross Country is a rematch between DELTA WORK and Galvin who fought out the finish to the Cross Country at the Festival.
“With current conditions being soft, it would point you towards Delta Work, who has the benefit of a run as well, but if the going was to improve dramatically, then that would bring Galvin back into it.
“An each way alternative could be Dan Skelton’s Latenightpass.
“He finished fourth in the Foxhunters’ at Aintree last season and won that contest in 2022, so with that kind of form over the National fences, jumping shouldn’t be a concern for him here.”
3:30 – Trustatrader Novices’ Hurdle 2m5f (Class 1): Captain Teague (NAP) @ 4/6
“CAPTAIN TEAGUE is one of my horses to follow this season and would probably be my nap of the weekend.
“He brings a very strong level of form from last season’s Champion Bumper and was good when starting off over hurdles at Chepstow this season.
“There’s a lot of improvement expected on that run — he should improve for that first jumping experience and fitness wise.
“He’s a standout horse among a nice bunch of rivals that perhaps lack star quality.”
4:05 – Valda Energy Novices’ Handicap Hurdle 2m½F (Class 3): Tintintin @ 12/1
“TINTINTIN (4.05) makes his first start after a wind operation.
“He won on hurdles debut at Ffos Las last season and was then placed in three races, including when a good second behind Spirit D’Aunou in Huntington.
“He looks open to plenty of improvement and should be capable of a good run.”
