Cheltenham Day 2 Superboost

After the Day 1 Superboost landed with over 31,000 punters taking advantage of the 1/12.00 about Old Park Star finishing in the top four in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle (he won!), we have another extremely generous Superboost for you on Day 2.

The Gordon Elliott-trained Romeo Coolio has won all four of his chase starts this season including two Grade 1 contests with the latter being a victory over Tuesday's Arkle Chase winner Kargese. He's 4/91.44 to finish in the top four in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at 14:00 but the Betfair Sportsbook has super-boosted his price to 1/12.00.

Turner's Novices' Hurdle, 13:20, Cheltenham - Back No Drama This End @ 4/15.00

Expectations are high for No Drama This End, a horse that can launch Betfair ambassador Paul Nicholls and owner Max McNeill into the Cheltenham spotlight once again, and maintain his perfect 100% record over hurdles this season.

From the win in the Grade 2 Hyde Novices Hurdle at the Paddy Power meeting at Cheltenham, he followed up by hammering The Blue Room in the Betfair Winter Novices' Hurdle at Sandown and then 24 days later he won the Grade 1 Challow.

The Challow at Newbury is a race Nicholls likes go into battle with one of his leading guns, as five successes in the last six editions demonstrates. I was lucky enough to see Denman in the flesh in his pomp at Cheltenham, and comparisons can be a bit tiresome for any staying horse that goes through the hands of Nicholls as there is enough pressure anyway, but No Drama This End is good, perhaps very good. 

I've tried to beat No Drama The End, as I went against him with Kalkbrenner in the Challow, whom I think is still trying to catch him.

Newbury last time came on good ground, perhaps a little too quick, and also just 24 days after Sandown. Perhaps he wasn't at his best but he still won.

Nicholls said in his exclusive blog: "Denman was beaten in this race and look what he achieved afterwards, so it is not the be all and end all, but we have big belief in No Drama This End and are going into this race hoping we can win.

"I expect him to be a much better chaser in time over the trip and on the way there you like to keep winning".

Champion Chase, 16:00, Cheltenham - Back Majborough @ 4/51.80

Majborough was my NAP in the Betfair Racing Writers' Festival Preview and on his 19L win over Marine Nationale at the DRF, I'd have him shorter than 4/51.80.

With no Marine Nationale, the danger comes from his own camp with Il Etaits Temp, whose jumping came under pressure with a fall last time. Jumping and pressure is usually mentioned with Majborough.

I am sure his price near evens is to do with his jumping, which has always been erratic, but at Leopardstown the tactics to lead with the first-time cheekpieces turned him into Superman. Clark Kent's old rival General Zod asked them all to kneel before him, and such is the talent of Majborough on pure ability, they should all be kneeling before this chaser.

Mark Walsh will have his own determination for various reasons in the green and gold, but this could be a thrill a minute watching Majborough, who ran the race of his life in the Arkle last year, unfortunately the worst one, as his jumping was a horror show. The cheekpieces will work for sure.

Grand Annual, 16:40, Cheltenham - Back Be Aware @ 11/26.50

Be Aware's novice chase campaign could be rated a B- from his four runs, and while Dan Skelton might have had high hopes for a tilt at one of the graded races, if ever a handicap was made for a chaser with a keen-going nature, it is the Grand Annual.

The grey, for owner Andrew Cohen, has been held back by his keen-going ways. His jumping hasn't always been foot perfect either and that was evident in his chase debut at Stratford.

He finished second in the Arkle Trial at Cheltenham, a good experience for a feel of the Cheltneham fences and on the Race IQ data (if you like that sort of thing), his Jumps Index of 8.6 at Prestbury Park was higher than Sandown, Windsor and Stratford. Likewise his lengths gained metric of 9.86 at Cheltenham was far superior to the 4.77 at Sandown and 8.28 at Windsor.

I fancied him for last year's Coral Cup over 2m5f from 137, so from a rating of 147 for fences, he should be winning races from that mark. The pace and charge is key to eradicating his keen ways.

Weatherbys Champion Bumper, 17:20, Cheltenham - Back Quiryn @ 7/18.00

Not much to go on with a once-raced Bumper horse, and the UK trainers have just given up on this race as the Irish have nine of the top 10 in the betting.

Willie Mullins has the top three and his Quiryn is a youngster who really interests me.

He is a son of Sottsass, the brilliant French middle-distance performer and Quiryn's dam is Queson Sun (by the great German doyen Monsun) and she has produced 2m4f multiple French jumper Mille Et Mille.

That stamina on the distaff side mixed with the brilliance of Sottsass clearly has thrown up a horse with a lot of ability and he has a nine-length success at Naas on soft going.

Alan Dudman's Day 2 NAP: Majborough in the Champion Chase @ 4/51.80

'If only Majborough could jump' sighed everyone when the Willie Mullins' chaser fluffed his lines at 1/2 in the Arkle 12 months ago - and he was stuffed like a Dundee Cake in third.

With the jumping, there are flashes of brilliance with Majborough, but even the 14L win as a novice at the Punchestown Festival was marked down by some erratic leaps.

And then it all finally came together at the Dublin Racing Festival, like clockwork with Mullins - the master who never seems to know anything about any of his horses or where they are going. But at the DRF, he was as fast as Alfie Tupper from the front. The headgear and the cheekpieces seeming to revive his jumping. Letting him go from the front is the way to ride him now and he destroyed Marine Nationale at Leopardstown by 19L.

Okay he is 8/111.73, but a NAP is just that, and when his orgy of disorder in the jumping stakes littered his performance 12 months ago he was 1/21.50. He's a little bigger in price now and judged on Leopardstown, hopefully a more polished and safer jumper.
