Cheltenham Festival Day 4 Irish National Hunt Tips

A dual bumper winner who won a maiden hurdle over two miles at Cork beating Lisnagar Fortune. He stepped up in trip next time in the Lawlor's Of Naas when seemingly unfancied but he came from last to first to win going away from Ile Atlantique despite a mistake at the last.

He looks like all he does is stay. He's the classiest horse in the race and for the Willie Mullins Paul Townend combination I find it really hard to see him beat.

Was well fancied last season over fences for the Plate and he travelled well but didn't seem to quite see it out up the hill. The drop back to two miles and hurdles worked an absolute treat at the Dublin Racing Festival. He was heavily punted on the day and was keen throughout close to a very strong pace. He looked a winner turning in before fading late into a place.

A more conservative ride here should see him to better affect and for one of the shrewdest yards to ever train a horse he must go close and he's a bit of a price to do so! I want to keep him onside!

This horse has really caught my eye throughout the season. A most magnificent specimen big athletic and loads of scope a dream horse for a small yard like Terrance O'Briens. He won a maiden Hurdle at Limerick beating What's Up Darling with consummate ease who runs off the very same mark as this lad in the Martin Pipe which makes this look generous.

He went to Fairyhouse over two and a half miles after that and was keen throughout the race and did so much wrong it would have seen most horses finish out the back of the telly, but he fought off every rival only getting collared late on up the run in by the reopposing Waterford Whispers. He finished close in what turned into a sprint on bottomless ground at Limerick over Christmas in a Grade 2 before getting the winning thread back at Naas last time. He's versatile as regards trip and will love the ground.

More importantly he has John Shinnick on board who has partnered him on all his starts this season, so he knows the horse well and I expect things to be kept simple. He will ride him handy and should be bang there going to the last. Fingers crossed this small yard can get the dream result.
