Punters on the ropes as bookies celebrate – Thursday’s Cheltenham Festival Tips

At the end of day two the bookmakers definitely took a 2-0 lead over punters, leaving them on the ropes and in desperate need for a few winners on the final two days of the 2010 Cheltenham Festival. Tom has got five selections for us on Thursday, which will hopefully help us get us back in the game ahead of the all important final day on Friday.

Thursday’s Cheltenham Festival tips:

1.30 – Jewson Novices’ Novices’ Handicap

Dave’s Dream (each way) @ 12/1 with Paddy Power.

Tom predicts that the ‘well weighted’ Dave’s Dream can make the frame at 12/1 with the ground and trip to his liking and continute the good run of form at the Festival for the Henderson yard.

2.40 – Ryanair Chase

Poquelin (win) @ 7/2 with Bet365, Ladbrokes and William Hill.

Tom is siding for the trustry Nicholls and Walsh partnership for this one. He is one of the rising stars at Ditcheat and has been improving all season before being put away for this race after December’s course and distance success.

3.20 – Ladbrokes World Hurdle

Bet 1 – Lie Forrit (each way) @ 50/1 with Bet365.
Bet 2 – Powerstation (both each way) @ 40/1 with Bet365.

Although he think Big Bucks will win, Tom is happy to swerve the short price favourite in this one and after the first two days, who can blame him? Instead, he has plumed for two seperate each way bets on Lie Forrit and Powerstation in the hope they can run in to a place at generous odds.

4.00 – Byrne Group Plate

Watch My Back (each way) @ 8/1 with Bet365 and Paddy Power.

Following a win at Doncaster in December, Watch My Back has been put away with this race in mind by his shrewd trainer, Ferdy Murphy. and Tom thinks the yard who saddled Poker De Sivola to victory in Wednesday’s National Hunt Steeplechase cna score again in this race.

All points North in the Paddy Power Gold Cup – Saturday’s tips

We’re up and running with a brilliant first day of the Open Meeting in the can at Cheltenham, with Razor Royale bagging the biggie he’s always threatened and Henry de Bromhead’s Loosen The Load staking his claim as a hurdler to follow this season (at over 18 hands he’s going to be some chaser under big weights with a penalty in his novice campaign), followed by banks specialist Garde Champetre stealing the show in the Cross Country race. All that despite the rain.

It’s brilliant being back at Cheltenham with its lively, friendly, knowledgeable crowd, and on Saturday afternoon they can profit from backing Irish raider Northern Alliance in the feature Paddy Power Gold Cup at 2.35pm.

Plenty of positives to recommend this horse with too: in good form this year in all disciplines having being at least placed on the flat, over hurdles and fences in recent times, he took the Guinness Kerry National at the Listowel Festival last time out in the hands of Ruby Walsh, beating a solid yard stick in the shape of veteran Church Island.

Paul Carberry resumes his partnership with the eight year old this time, and this sound jumper who has won three of his seven chase starts can land a major prize here.
