Another Betfair Superboost winner! 

It's three winning Superboosts in Cheltenham week after our final day selection landed. More than 11,000 Betfair customers were on Willie Mullins' Selma De Vary to finish in the top four of the Triumph Hurdle at boosted odds of 5/42.25 from 4/91.44. Together with Old Park Star and Jonbon that means we have paid out multiple times this week!

The Gold Cup is shaping up to be a great race. It always is.  It looks like it's going to be a very tactical race too, with three of the first four from the King George all set to line up again.

Gaelic Warrior only finished third in the King George, but he was beaten by two short heads, and he looks the one to beat here. He is a top-class chaser, he goes well at Cheltenham, he is an Arkle winner.  Willie Mullins is having a great week so far, and he has said that Gaelic Warrior is in great shape.

Nicky Henderson is another trainer who is having a really good week, and his horse Jango Baie won the Arkle last year.  He stayed on well to win it, and he was staying on well at the end of the King George too.  He could run a big race.  So could The Jukebox Man.  He just came out on top in the King George, and he ran well at Cheltenham as a novice hurdler when he finished second in the Albert Bartlett Hurdle. 

Inothewayurthinkin will be back to defend his title, but he has to put a lack lustre season behind him. I do think that Envoi Allen could run a massive race. He loves it at Cheltenham and he is sure to be bang there at the end. After that, who knows? Riding him, he always gave me the feeling that you were on something special, and his career has been all of that. Henry and all the team will have him ready for his last day out.

It should be a great race.

Rachael Blackmore on the Triumph Hurdle

Willie Mullins obviously has a very strong team for the Triumph Hurdle, a race that he has won five times in the last six years, and Selma De Vary could be the pick of them.

She kept on well to finish second behind her stable companion Narciso Has (who has had to miss the Triumph Hurdle because of a setback) in the Grade 1 juveniles' hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.  That was her first run for Willie Mullins, so she should come on for the run.

Her stable companions Proactif and Macho Man should also run well.  They finished first and second respectively in a juveniles' hurdle at Fairyhouse in January, and the third horse from that race, Quinta Do Lago, ran well in the Fred Winter Hurdle on Tuesday.  They were both racing for the first time for Willie there, so they should both be able to progress from that race. 

Rachael Blackmore on the Irish runners: Three to note on Day 4

Air Of Entitlement (Martin Pipe Hurdle, Cheltenham 17:20)

She has had a bit of a mixed season, but she isn't one to be forgetting about going into this week.  We know that Henry can have them at concert pitch at Cheltenham, and Air Of Entitlement was very good last year in winning the Mares' Novices' Hurdle. She really dug in deep and stayed on strongly to get her head in front. She is one who might just spring a bit of a surprise.

July Flower (Mares' Chase, Cheltenham 14:40)

July Flower is a classy mare on her day, and conditions should suit her. She finished third in the French Champion Hurdle when she was trained in France, she stays very well and she has really taken well to jumping fences. She was very good when winning at Cheltenham in November. Dinoblue is the one they all have to beat, but I can see July Flower running well.

Wrappedupinmay (Hunters' Chase, Cheltenham 16:40)

Sam Curling won the hunters' chase last year with Wonderwall, who is favourite to win the race again this year, but the trainer also has Wrappedupinmay in the race, and he could be flying under the radar a little bit.  Sam is having a great season, he is currently the leading point-to-point trainer in Ireland, and Wrappedupinmay has won his last two point-to-points for him.
