Cheltenham Ante Post - William Hill Chase

The William Hill Chase is one of the hardest to solve at the whole festival and I can’t say I fancy it that much, but SUNNYHILLBOY has really caught my eye on his last 3 starts, all just behind Great Endavour; He’s made a lot of ground up at the end of 2m5f in 3 very good races, and looked well capable of defying a mark up to 15lbs higher given a strongly run 3 miles. His jumping would need to improve though.

David Pipe has a excellent recent record in this event, and while one could say that his Great Endeavour may well develop into an ideal type for the race, JUNIOR could well improve a lot over fences and plainly didn’t stay 3 miles 3 furlongs miles fully last time around Cheltenham. The ground is sure to be less testing at Cheltenham on the first day of the festival, and quotes of 16/1 are very fair considering that he’s likely to go for the race.

Advice

1 pt each/way Junior for the William Hill Chase (16/1 Stan James)

1 pt each/way Sunnyhillboy for the William Hill Chase (16/1 William Hill)
