Nicky Henderson: “He’s in good form at home and I rate his chance reasonably highly here”

WITH the countdown to Cheltenham almost over we have very few runners this weekend and it’s now just a case of keeping everything crossed that.

The Wine Tipster: Five Handicappers for The Cheltenham Festival

THE announcement of the weights for the handicaps at the Cheltenham Festival always creates a great deal of interest and here are my five handicap.

Nico de Boinville

Nico de Boinville: “We have had a lot of success in this race in the past.”

5.10pm Newbury Meadowsuite She was one of our horses who was pulled out because of the quick ground here last month but thankfully Newbury can.

Nicky Henderson

Nicky Henderson: “Two miles five furlongs around here is about right and he has a solid chance. I like him”

KEMPTON 1:50 Pawapuri (Nico De Boinville) She’s the most gorgeous filly who was a winner (off 80) on the flat for William Haggas and we.

Nico de Boinville

Nico de Boinville: “Getting the weight, she certainly has her chance.”

1.50pm Kempton Pawapuri She will obviously have to be very good to be winning at this level first time up, but she gets the 7lb.

Nicky Henderson: “I’ll leave it to Shishkin to do the talking”

ASCOT 1:20 Attacca (Nico De Boinville) He and Persian Time are two of our best Novice Hurdlers, therefore it’s a shame they have to take.

Nico de Boinville

Nico de Boinville: “He is the one to beat if back to anywhere near his best”

1.20pm Ascot Attacca He carries an 8lb penalty, so this is not going to be straightforward, but he surprised me with how good he was.

Steve Jones: “My take on the new whip rules”

TIMING is crucial in sport. Whether it’s Ben Stokes trying to hit a fast bowler for six, Lewis Hamilton attempting a fastest lap or Ryan.
