CHELTENHAM

Slate House

2.25pm
9/2 from 7/1

Grade 1 winner SLATE HOUSE steps out of Novice company in an intriguing move from trainer Colin Tizzard. A great big chasing type, he's excelled over fences so far and gets weight from the field. With his main rivals likely to be 'prepping' for targets ahead, punters are hoping the primed 8yo can land the spoils today!

Time Flies By

3.00pm
11/2 from 13/2

TIME FLIES BY is clearly well thought of by Unibet ambassador Nicky Henderson and it seems that he will be campaigned at a high level so if he is to break his Novice status this season it's by winning a big race! He's entitled to improve plenty for his Ascot run and this race might just be more winnable. Read Nicky's exclusive blog here.

If The Cap Fits

3.35pm
11/4 from 7/2

Fascinatingly our traders report strong support for IF THE CAP FITS against Paisley Park today. A winner over 3 miles at the highest level at Aintree, he looks a horse on the up and was impressive when winning his only start this season. He has plenty of speed if this gets tactical and trainer Harry Fry is flying. Fascintating move.
