Big Day at Cheltenham ahead

One things for sure you will need a lot of money for the TEN BIG RACES today at the Festival..
A winner or two in the first THREE race would be ideal.
We start with the big one today the World Hurdle. and the $64,000 question is, can Inglis Drever make it a treble in the race?
Bookmakers make him as short as 6/4 for the race and if rumours are right this could be the last run of his career.
He has run six times at Cheltenham and has never been out of the first two; many punters have him down as their festival banker.
He beat second favourite Blazing Bailey (6/1) by five lengths in the Cleeve Hurdle last time out and there is no reason why he shouldn’t be the same come this afternoon. Kasbah Bliss (7/1) is next in the betting but he too has to make up about 20 lengths on the jolly after he finished well beaten in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury.
We have put two dangers up and our first one is the Eoin Griffin-trained Kazal (left) (20/1) who was tried over fences earlier in the winter but after a couple of hefty falls his trainer put him back over hurdles and in his last run he hacked up in the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle. He looks a decent sort over hurdles and is our each-way bet of the race.
Wichita Lineman (10/1) has been in awful form and so too have been much of the Jonjo O’Neill yard. To be honest, that has put me off a wee bit, but with Champion Jockey Tony McCoy back in the frame it’s very much a case of ignore him at your peril.
Tthe Jewson Novices' Handicap Chase is a hrad race to work out and we like the look of Barbers Shop (10/1) who hacked up at Kempton last time out.
The Ryanair Chase looks a cracking affair this year and it’s hard to split Old Vic, The Listener and Mossbank in the betting, all quoted in and around 4/1.
We think that Mossbank(4/1) will take all the beating after his gallant second behind Denman in the Lexus Chase at Christmas. The Listener (4/1) was only a head behind but I just think that the two mile five furlongs will suit and the Michael Hourigan-trained horse will take all the beating.
They Bet: Mossbank 4/1, Our Vic 4/1, The Listener 9/2, Tamarinbleu 6/1, L Antartique 8/1, Turko 8/1, Racing Demon 16/1, Billyvoddan 25/1, Forget The Past 33/1, Newmill 33/1, Justified 40/1, Howle Hill 50/1, Knight Legend 50/1, Patman Du Charmil 66/1.
Don’t Push It (7/2) will take all the beating in the Racing Post Plate . He hasn’t been seen out since October when he won a hurdle race at Chepstow, which is a worry, so that has put us off him a wee bit. Bible Lord (10/1) could answer punters’ prayers with a big run. His trainer Andy Turnell is enjoying a purple patch at the minute and this horse hacked up at Exeter in early February and will be primed for this race.
The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup is another race of the amateurs and we like the look of the Alan King-trained Nykel (20/1) in this one with the promising Charlie Huxley in the plate.
The Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle concludes the third day and we have put two up for this one.
Robert Tyner is a shrewd trainer and his Footy Facts is as consistent as they come and gets a 14/1 quote for the three-miler.
Cryptic looks the staying type, is one for the future and could run a big race. Consequently he gets a (16/1) quote.
In the first race today I think Sizing Australia has a big each-way punt at 28/1. We are sticking by Albertas Run in the ROYAL & SUNALLIANCE CHASE in the second race today and w ethink Master Minded and Fair Along are still good to go in the Champion Chase.
In the Bumper tonight we have Zaarito (4/1) - one of the my colleagues in Navan told me that Corskeagh Royale is a good thing at (9/1) after he had a chat with Noel Meade give him a wee bit of info!!
