Cheltenham Day 1, Friday 11th November

Good afternoon folks

Two more selections for Cheltenham. That’s all for Friday’s racing, back throughout the day tomorrow with Saturday selections.

1:45 Cheltenham

MALYSTIC– 1/2 Each way @ 10/1 generally

I like the potential set-up for Malystic here, as there looks to be some good pace in the race thanks to Captain Tom Cat, Monsieur Lecoq and old rival Gold Des Bois, who he meets on 3lb better terms following a narrow defeat at Kelso last month.

Malystic jumped well that day under Brian Hughes and he finished really strongly, which bodes well for this track.

The likely stronger gallop can be the key to him travelling into things without getting outpaced and he can finish well up the hill on drying ground that he likes

4:00 Cheltenham

GREAT REALISATION– 1/2 Pt Each way @ 15/1 Bet365 6 places, 16/1 for 5, 14/1 6 places generally

4:00 Cheltenham

GALAHAD THREEPWOOD– 1/2 Pt Each way @ 24/1 Bet365 6 places, 25/1 for 5, 22/1 6 places generally

Slightly caught my eye in a decent Novice event at the track LTO, running on after pulling hard on seasonal debut. He looks potentially well handicapped and Ben Pauling is in fine form with a lot of his horse coming on a bundle for a pipeopener and all in all I though worth a poke.
