Ruby Walsh Tips from Cheltenham and Doncaster

Cheltenham Tips

1:15 – Quintessentially Handicap Chase Cl2 (4yo+) 2m½f ITV4: FUNAMBULE SIVOLA – Back to a decent mark of 150 and the yard’s horses are still in good form, with a winner at the meeting on Friday.

1:50 – Virgin Bet December Gold Cup Handicap Chase Cl1 (4yo+) 2m4½f ITV4: SO SCOTTISH – Mark Walsh comes over for the ride and Ruby Walsh thinks the hint should be taken on this JP McManus-owned runner.

2:25 – Favourite From The Sun Now Daily Handicap Chase Cl1 (4yo+) 3m2f ITV4: THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE – The stiffer track is expected to suit as will the slower pace, with recent Cheltenham scorer Broadway Boy the likely danger.

3:00 – Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2) (Gbb Race) Cl1 (4yo+) 3m ITV4: SHANAGH BOB – Will be a popular pick with punters on the day for the Nicky Henderson yard. Doesn’t look a strong renewal and Ruby “can’t see anything else turning him over”.

3:35 – Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back mares’ Handicap Hurdle Cl2 (4yo+) 2m4½f ITV4: NURSE SUSAN – Lightly-raced for the Skelton’s – running just once since the 2022 Festival. Mark of 125 looks fair and Harry Skelton does the steering. Could be thrown in.

Doncaster Tips

2:05 – bet365 Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase Cl3 (4yo+ 0-135) 2m3f ITV: MISTER WHO – A good second last time out at Lingfield and Walsh feels a similar run will be good enough here.

2:40 – bet365 Handicap Hurdle Cl2 (3yo+) 2m½f ITV: RARE EDITION (NAP) – The Ruby Walsh best bet of the day with a horse that has dropped to a fair mark (136) and has a good record fresh.

3:15 – bet365 Handicap Chase Cl2 (4yo+ 0-150) 3m ITV: SLIPAWAY – Beau Morgan rides to claim a handy 5lbs and is now running off a mark he won off last year. Looks overpriced to Mr Walsh.
