Our acca for Friday's ITV coverage includes three selections from the racing at Cheltenham. Back this 3-leg ITV accumulator for Friday:
ITV’s coverage of the November Meeting from Cheltenham kicks off with the Middle Distance Veterans’ Chase over two miles and four.
Fugitif has been a regular at this meet throughout his career, finishing fifth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup last year, and fourth in the renewal in 2023.
This is much calmer for the ten-year-old, who regularly excels when fresh.
The Richard Hobson runner has an excellent record at Cheltenham, including a win in the December Gold Cup over today’s distance when holding off the talented Il Ridoto by a short head. Should have something to offer in the Veterans’ series this season.
A stamina-sapping test awaits novices’ chasers in the 14:20 at Cheltenham on Friday, and cases can be made for all five runners.
However, there was plenty to like about Wade Out’s chasing debut at Worcester in October when quickening up nicely to beat Wendigo, who was second in Grade One company over hurdles last season.
The Olly Murphy runner appeared to be doing all of his best work late in the day on that start, and has a big reputation in the colours of Ferguson, Hales, Mason, and Done.
Man of the moment Sean Bowen takes the ride, striking at 20% over the last two weeks.
Jonbon is undeniably the star attraction at Cheltenham on Friday, but his course record and poor showing in the Grade One Celebration Chase at the end of last season could mean that he is a vulnerable favourite.
Therefore, a chance could be taken on Libberty Hunter in the ‘Without Jonbon’ market. The Evan Williams runner was running a big race in the Grade One Champion Chase in March before coming down three out when well in contention.
Harry Cobden is back aboard this week, just as he was when the selection won over an extended two miles on his seasonal return at Cheltenham last December.
Unlike Jonbon, Libberty Hunter seems to run his best races at the track, finishing in the first two on three of his four starts. The expected conditions will suit, and he could run a big race in the Grade Two Shloer Chase.
Gavin Cromwell enjoyed a welcome winner in Ireland earlier this week, and his stable will be firing on all cylinders by the time that the November meeting kicks off.
The yard typically enjoys success at the meet, and Welonlyhavedone could be the balance play in the Grade Two The Hyde Novices’ Hurdle. The five-year-old made a winning debut over obstacles in October, stylishly beating Survivors Sister by 12 lengths.
He will need to put a fall last time behind him, but it’s clear to see the case that he would have landed the honours in that race after joining the leader before crashing.
Should improve again with this step up in trip, and he was a 15-length winner of a point-to-point over three miles before making his debut under rules. Plenty to like with Keith Donoghue travelling over to take the ride.
The International break is sadly upon us once more, however, the football action is non-stop and this week we have our weekly boosted accumulator tip, this time from 79/1 to an inc...
