Matt Chapman Saturday Cheltenham Tips For ITV Racing
1:45 – From The Horse’s Mouth Podcast Novices’ Chase (Listed Race) (Gbb Race) Cl1 (5yo+) 3m½f ITV: MISTER COFFEY @ 3/1
“ITV Saturday gets under way here with a Listed novices’ chase over an extended three miles. It’s extraordinary that MISTER COFFEY is still a novice after chasing since 2021 and running in this year’s Grand National.
“In his time he’s been in Grade 1 company including when second to L’Homme Presse in a Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase, and at face value there is nothing wrong with his attitude. This is D-Day as it’s very winnable for Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville.”
2:20 – Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (Gbb Race) Cl1 (4yo+) 2m4f ITV: IL RIDOTO (Each Way) @ 7/1Â
“The big betting race of the day and one of the season’s most heralded betting heats in the famous Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase over two and a half miles. I have to admit there’s few more satisfying moments for me than finding the Paddy Power winner.
“The is an absolute cracker with Cheltenham Festival-winning novices up against more established handicap chasers. Stage Star, The Real Whacker and Unexpected Party could all be better than their marks, but I’m happy to turn to a young horse who has already done much here in IL RIDOTO for Paul Nicholls – who has Stage Star as his main hope – and Freddie Gingell.
“With the latter taking off 5lb, Il Rodoto is on a mark of 139, which is exactly what he carried when fourth behind Midnight River in a similar heat against him on January 1st of this year and only 1lb higher when scoring at the track on January 28.
“Five of his last seven runs have come at this course and you can forget his last effort when pulled up over the Grand National fences. He’s a lightly-raced horse who should still have more to give. I’ll have a few quid on each-way.”
2:55 – Paddy Power Games Handicap Hurdle (Gbb Race) Cl2 (4yo+) 3m ITV: CHANTRY HOUSE (Each Way) @ 7/1
“A handicap hurdle over three miles. I tipped Judicial Law here when he was second last time and he ran well but the handicapper has him. I have to risk CHANTRY HOUSEÂ each-way for Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville.
“The one-time Gold Cup hope is chucked in on a mark of 147 if anywhere near right and he never seemed to like fences that much. His last hurdle effort was a third to Shishkin in the Supreme.”
3:30 – Paddy Power Feel Like A Favourite Intermediate Handicap Hurdle Cl3 (3yo+ 0-140) 2m5f ITV: WONDERFUL EAGLE (Each Way) @ 13/2
“An intermediate handicap hurdle over two miles and five furlongs. WONDERFUL EAGLEÂ needs to jump better and is against some classy sorts, but his Flat form suggests he should be better than a 112 jumper and he only has 10st 2lb on his back.
“A small field might well help his jumping stand up and juice in the ground is no problem. A horse like Springwell Boy might just outclass him but I’m happy to take a chance each-way.”
