ITV Racing returns Saturday for racing from Cheltenham and Newcastle, beginning right here with a Grade 2 novices’ chase over 2m. LEAU DU SUD was a non-runner lately on good floor, and every little thing suggests he desires it muddy, however that every one mentioned, supplied he turns up, he ought to take some beating for Harry and Dan Skelton.

There might effectively be a dissipate for the lead right here between my hope and Lookaway, however rated 148 Leau du Sud must be too good and he jumped effectively final time at Stratford bar one unhealthy mistake. Stays very effectively.

The massive betting race of the day within the unimaginable and exquisite Paddy Energy Gold Cup Handicap Chase over 2m4f. There must be loads of tempo on right here and there’s little question Ginny’s Future could possibly be laborious to catch. Ga Regulation might simply bounce again to his finest because the defending champion, who did simply that final season.

Nonetheless, I’m taking an opportunity with class act PROTEKTORAT, who did this column a proper favour when touchdown Ryanair at Cheltenham in March. If he’s prepared after a 218-day absence, he ought to soar for enjoyable. He often travels effectively, and I’m undecided that is the deepest renewal of all time.

Clearly, it’s not going to be straightforward beneath 12st, however good floor will not be a difficulty, certainly he was second on this on good floor in 2021 when rated 154. His activity is proven with a mark now of 167 however on his day he’s very first rate. I’ll have just a few quid on each-way.

A handicap hurdle over 3m. This appears fairly open. I’d count on GOWEL ROAD to have a strong each-way likelihood for all that he’s excessive within the handicap off 143, up 2lb for his newest defeat.

He was sixth within the Closing of this occasion at Cheltenham in March and the great floor may simply assist him stand up the hill as he drained late that day and was a bit careworn on the end. Sam Twiston-Davies rides for his outdated man Nigel.

On the Flat now for the Listed Churchill Stakes over 1m2f. This can be a actually first rate race. Dubai Honour might effectively give the burden away however I’ll be backing THE FOXES each-way for Oisin Murphy and Andrew Balding.

My hope stays effectively, he as soon as completed fifth within the Derby, and was a high-quality third to Enemy and Army Order at Southwell not so way back. He was rated 113 then and is now all the way down to 108 and I believe he’s acquired a bit extra expertise than that score suggests. Getting 7lb from Dubai Honour I might assume he’ll be bang within the combine.

Right here’s a handicap hurdle over 2m5f. WYENOT is younger and has all the time regarded like an honest horse and seems to have appreciated going up in journey lately. That is the furthest she has gone.

My choice made throughout a bit shorter at this monitor final time and is up 6lb for that success. It makes issues more durable, however she’s in nice type, can bounce alongside on the entrance finish and could be laborious to cross. Every-way claims.

The Listed Golden Rose Stakes over 6f. Powerful race to name as ANNAF actually must be too good for this discipline however is off form.

Mick Appleby’s star was a high-quality winner in Riyadh in February of this yr however hasn’t performed a lot since, though that mentioned, he was an affordable third in a Group 3 at Newbury and ninth of 20 behind Form of Blue within the Champions Dash at Ascot. Must be the choice, however I’m not assured.

So better of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
