\"Cheltenham<\/p>\n

The Cheltenham November Meeting 2024 gets underway on Friday, 15 November with two Grade 2 contests. Prestbury Park hosts the Shloer Chase and return of Jonbon, plus an early Albert Bartlett Trial in the Hyde Novices’ Hurdle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the card, the Cross Country Handicap Chase sees Conflated tackle the banks for the first time off topweight. There is also a Listed novice chase for stayers with quality over quantity.<\/p>\n

Bigger fields top and tail the card in conditional jockeys’ and novice handicap hurdles. That is where punters must look for value on horse racing betting sites<\/a> with the feature contests attracting fewer runners during this dry autumn.<\/p>\n

As ever, we’ve called in the experts for their assessment and analysis of the action taking place at the home of jumps reason. They mark your card for Friday’s action here:<\/p>\n

Cheltenham November Meeting 2024 Day 1 Preview<\/h2>\n

1:10 – 2m 5f Class 3 Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle (0-125)<\/h3>\n

\"DoubleWide-open but two of the three penalised runners quickly turned out appeal more than most. The booking of stable conditional Geraoid Harney on last year’s winner\u00a0American Sniper <\/strong>that offsets most of his 7lb extra weight is attractive in a repeat bid for David Pipe.<\/p>\n

DOUBLE POWERFUL <\/strong>is 4lb well-in despite his own similar penalty, however, and just keeps on winning. One of two in the race for Neil Mulholland, this five-year-old has picked up where he left off in the spring with a hat-trick of wins this autumn. Dylan Johnston gets on well with Double Powerful and a six-timer could well beckon.<\/p>\n

Plenty of others have claims. Pipe’s other runner\u00a0Phantomofthepoints\u00a0<\/strong>should appreciate this longer trip on breeding, while Fergal O’Brien inmate Plaisir Des Flos <\/strong>is another in-form horse after five wins this calendar year.\u00a0Il Va De Soi <\/strong>seeks a hat-trick for Harry Derham and jockey Alice Stevens, meanwhile.<\/p>\n

Lower down the weights, although there’s been no recent winner rated below 114, the likes of Irish raider\u00a0Billy Lee Swagger<\/strong>, Jonjo O’Neill runner\u00a0Stay If U Want To\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Rebel Intentions\u00a0<\/strong>could all go well. April Meeting second Whatsupwithou<\/strong> is also worth a mention with 10lb claimer Callum Pritchard booked to ease a welter burden.<\/p>\n

1:45 – Listed 3m 110y Paddy Power Novices’ Chase<\/h3>\n

\"SpringwellThe form pick from the quartet is\u00a0SPRINGWELL BAY<\/strong>. His Chepstow win for Jonjo O’Neill and son has been franked since by the third, Boombawn, landing a Grade 2 around Wincanton last weekend. Springwell Bay only needed pushing out to score quite cosily down over an extended 2m 3f on his chase bow and today’s longer trip should be no problem.<\/p>\n

Course and distance winner\u00a0Hyland\u00a0<\/strong>gets 2lb from the selection, but concedes 3lb to the other two. Nicky Henderson’s charge routed his rivals during The Showcase, but the Cheltenham November Meeting demands more of him. The tailed off fifth has won since, but it’s not the same level of form.<\/p>\n

Resplendent Grey\u00a0<\/strong>has something to find on hurdles form with Springwell Bay off worse terms. Olly Murphy’s runner could make up into an even better chaser, but needs to improve.<\/p>\n

Similar comments apply to Buddy One<\/strong>, who won over hurdles here 12 months ago. He tops official ratings, but that is down to his Stayers’ Hurdle fourth than anything achieved over fences.<\/p>\n

2:20 – 1m 7f 199y Grade 2 Shloer Chase<\/h3>\n
