The Cheltenham Festival is over for another year but there is no let up in the schedule for Betfair ambassador Paul Nicholls who has a busy Saturday at Kempton and Uttoxeter. Below he previews his runners at the Surrey course...

  • Irish Hill will appreciate the drying ground

  • Outlaw Peter aims to triumph in race he won last year


Betfair Saturday Horse Racing Superboost

On Thursday, the Betfair Superboost, Fact To File, won the Ryanair Chase in a canter after being boosted to 11/43.75 (won at 6/42.50). On Friday we made it back-to-back Superboost wins as Betfair Ambassador Rachael Blackmore steered Monty's Star home for a top 4 finish in the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup at 1/12.00.

Our hat-trick chasing Saturday Superboost sees Saint Anapolino need to finish in the top 3 in the 14:45 Kempton having finished in the top 3 on his last 6 starts. This has been boosted from 4/61.67 to 1/12.00.

Kempton 13:37 - Miss Altea Blue

I was pleased with the way she jumped and travelled through the race when she won tidily at Wincanton nine days ago. She now has a 7lbs penalty but she is going the right way, will love the ground and can hopefully be very competitive again. 


Kempton 14:45 - Irish Hill

 

He is very consistent and won for the second time this season at Warwick just over a month ago partnered by our claimer Jay Tidball who keeps the ride. Irish Hill is another of ours who appreciates drying ground.


Kempton 15:20 - Outlaw Peter

 

He is back at a course where he excels, having won over hurdles here in 2023 before landing this race 12 months ago. He had a slight setback after he ran at Aintree in November but is fine now, has been ready for a while and this race has been the target for him for a while again. It's all systems go for Outlaw Peter.


Kempton 15:57 - Quebecois

 

He's useful and going the right way but found things were a bit tougher in deep ground in a Grade 2 hurdle at Cheltenham last time. He will be much happier with the drying conditions at Kempton against three opponents. He is then likely to join our team at Ayr in a month's time.
