Tuesday’s Cheltenham headlines
Good-to-soft ground for day one of the Festival
11:53 Are we backing the day one four-fold? Kopek Des Bordes, Majborough, Lossiemouth then Constitution Hill to bring it home. It pays just over 6/1 with Sky Bet. Easy, right?
Well, Kopek Des Bordes needs to get through the prelims first. He got himself worked up at Leopardstown and this atmosphere will be on another level. He’s in the hood though, which should help, and if he behaves himself, he should win.
A few people have been knocking Majborough’s jumping, but I’m not in that camp. For me, the faster he went, the better he jumped at the DRF and we know the engine is there. He should have too much class for L’eau Du Sud. I think.
Then onto…
