#Ladbrokes Champion Chase

Fans are in for a treat on Saturday with some of the sport's stars on show including Cyrname and Paisley Park. Our betting guide highlights favourites worth opposing Wetherby Racecourse Cyrname and Paisley Park are the headline acts on bet365 Charlie Hall Chase day but both ended last season on a low note and redemption is no formality at…

Henry de Bromhead's charge was a brilliant winner of the Prestbury Park blue riband last season, but little has gone right for him since. The nine-year-old was found to be under the weather after being pulled up when bidding for back-to-back wins in the Betfair Chase at Haydock in November and was withdrawn on the morning of last month's Savills…

Though still in its relative infancy, the two-day Dublin Racing Festival on Saturday and Sunday has become a huge part of the Irish jump-racing scene already. The Leopardstown meeting takes place in early February and has fast become an all-guns-blazing dress rehearsal for the Cheltenham Festival for some of Ireland's leading National Hunt…

2022-12-28Wednesday Leopardstown top racing tip: Kemboy set to lead from the front in Savills Chase The market revolves around the short-priced favourite, A Plus Tard, who is rated 180, but who is able to race on level terms with opposition rated 151-168. However, he comes here under a cloud after pulling up as the odds-on favourite for last…

Consistency had been a notable trait in A Plus Tard's star-studded career before bombing out in the Betfair Chase, and Henry de Bromhead is optimistic the scintillating Cheltenham Gold Cup winner is back to himself. Cheveley Park Stud's dual Cheltenham Festival winner had never finished out of the first three in his 19 starts before pulling up at…

There's four Grade 1s to feast upon this Monday, as the rearranged Long Walk Hurdle (1245), the Kauto Star Novices Chase (1320), the Christmas Hurdle (1355) and the showpiece King George VI (1430) will all be settled at Kempton.

Five winners have been aged eight and another trio were aged seven, while we've seen one winner apiece aged six and nine in the past decade. The only six-year-old was Clan Des Obaux, who represents the same connections as this year's sole six-year-old Hitman, who coincidentally also carries the same official rating (160) into the race Clan Des…

Delta Work has become a little bit of a forgotten horse. True, he was well beaten in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase on his seasonal debut, but he is never at his best on his seasonal return, and he reportedly came home lame that day, so you can allow him that. Gordon Elliott's horse was one of the top staying novice chasers last season. He beat Le…

The Grade One-winning hurdler was brilliant in winning three times over fences last season and would have been four from four had he not crashed out at the final fence in the Turners' Novices' Chase at the Festival in March. He is a best priced 11/4 to provide trainer Willie Mullins with a third Gold Cup success following the back-to-back wins of…

Seen as a superstar in waiting in the early part of his career and twice a winner at the Cheltenham Festival, he has met with a few bumps in the road after switching to fences but is still a three-time Grade One winner over the bigger obstacles and was third in last season's Champion Chase. He moved back up to three miles at Down Royal earlier this…

Last weekend we saw one of the first Cheltenham Gold Cup trials of the season in the Charlie Hall Chase, won by Bravemansgame.
