Cheltenham Day 3 Superboost

Twelve-time Grade 1 winner Jonbon has been well-backed to win today's Ryanair Chase at 16:00, and the Betfair Sportsbook have generously super-boosted his price to 1/12.00 to finish in the first three.

The Nicky Henderson-trained stable star has never failed to finish out of the first two in all 26 career starts, and with the stable in hot form this week Jonbon should give followers an excellent run for their money

To take advantage of Thursday's Superboost just click on the odds in the below bet banner to go directly to the pre-loaded betslip.

Cheltenham, 16:40 - Back Electric Mason each-way @ 9/110.00 NAP

Supremely West has accumulated nearly as many column inches this season as Langer Dan in his pomp and there is little doubt the eight-year-old has a huge chance of fulfilling a long-term plan for the Skelton operation.

A little like fellow handicap plot Madara, Supremely West has also been extremely well supported to lift this prize and his latest effort over an inadequate trip at Aintree should have put him spot on for this.

However, his odds probably overestimate his chance in a red-hot handicap and I prefer the claims of Electric Mason (NAP) at his odds, especially as he has an excellent record fresh and has already beaten Supremely West this season.

Trainer Chris Gordon has deliberately kept his gelding fresh following a gritty victory in a highly competitive Haydock handicap last November which has subsequently thrown up a number of tidy winners to strengthen the formline.

Electric Mason also boasts a decent record fresh with his form figures reading 3122 following an absence from the track of three months or more and with his course effectiveness confirmed and the long run from the second last to the final hurdle likely to suit a relative of Ballabriggs, he is the number one pick.

Cheltenham, 16:40 - Back Staffordshire Knot each-way @ 11/112.00

Gordon Elliott is well versed with success in the Pertemps Final and Staffordshire Knot could make a bold bid to defy topweight and follow in the hoofprints of two-time winner Sire Du Berlais and Delta Work by landing this prize.

Many will be put off by the selection carrying 12st, but his form in graded hurdles suggest he is still progressing and it appears significant that Elliott is happy for Jack Kennedy to ride instead of looking to reduce his eight-year-old's burden with a conditional rider.

The selection ran a highly respectable race in last year's Coral Cup when beaten less than nine lengths despite finding it an insufficient test and stretching out to three miles has brought about further progression this term.

Given the majority of his best form is with some cut in the ground, a shower or two wouldn't go amiss and, if conditions are in his favour, he could run a massive race back in a handicap. 

Cheltenham, 17.20 - Back Weveallbeencaught each-way @ 20/121.00

The form of last year's Kim Muir has already thrown up one winner this week courtesy of Johnnywho landing the Ultima on day one and Weveallbeencaught might outrun his odds in this season's renewal.

Following a number of years with Nigel Twiston-Davies, the nine-year-old now resides at the Limerick base of Eric McNamara who sent out the gelding to finish a fine second in the Munster National last October before he disappointed in an extremely hot Leopardstown handicap over Christmas.

That festive handicap has thrown up subsequent winners Favori De Champdou, Now Is The Hour, Backmersackme and Blizzard Of Oz and was a strongly-run affair so a 20-length defeat was no disgrace, especially with the lack of a resident visor or cheekpieces applied.

Weveallbeencaught sported a new combination of tongue tie and visor in this race last year when a fine fourth (he would probably have been third if he'd jumped the last more cleanly) and connections reach for the tongue tie and cheekpieces today which is encouraging.

The son of Getaway was highly tried as a youngster finishing sixth in an Albert Bartlett and he has accrued plenty of experience around Prestbury Park, which will surely suit him well here, while the booking of leading point-to-point rider John Barry is another plus.

Sam Turner's Cheltenham Multi Tip: Each-way double could pay dividends

Betfair is offering Bet £10 Get £10 on Racing Multis each day of the Cheltenham Festival, and the multi that makes the most appeal on Thursday is an each-way double featuring Jordans Cross (Cheltenham, 14:00) and Heart Wood (Cheltenham, 16:00).

The former landed the informative Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase on Trials Day, a race which invariably works out extremely well and is doing so again this season. The runner-up, Quebecois, ran a blinder in the Ultima on day one to endorse the form still further.

Heart Wood was runner-up in the Ryanair Chase 12 months ago and, although this race looks a little deeper this time round, he ought to be challenging for a podium finish at the very least.
