Weekend Horse Racing Preview - 15/11/08
Day 2 of the Cheltenham Open meeting features the Paddy Power Gold Cup and we are also looking at one of the biggest Scoop 6 payouts ever.
Saturday’s action comes from Cheltenham, Great Leighs, Punchestown, Uttoxeter and an evening meeting from Wolverhampton.
There are six live races on Channel 4. They are as follows; 2.00, 2.35, 3.10 and 3.45 from Cheltenham and the 2.55 and 3.25 from Wetherby.
If you back the winner of a live Channel 4 race at 4/1 or bigger, Bet365 will give you a free bet of up to £50 on the following Channel 4 race. This is a great offer for all you Saturday armchair punters.
The big race of the day is Cheltenham’s 2.35 the Paddy Power Gold Cup. Paul Nicholls’ Silverburn heads the betting at 3/1. He showed good form in novice chases last season culminating in a 4th placed finish in the Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Nicky Henderson’s Barbers Shop could prove tough opposition however. His stable is firing on all cylinders and Barbers Shop was one of the top novice chasers last season. He’s open to any amount of improvement and at 7/1 could really give Silverburn something to think about.
