Paddy Power Gold Cup Preview and Kempton Selection

Hi all,

Cheltenham’s November Meeting is one my favourite jump meetings.  When I stated getting interested in the sport. The meeting and with it the Mackeson Gold Cup was the traditional start of the winter jumps campaign. Now at three days the meeting is the biggest Cheltenham hosts outside of the festival.

It’s a case of getting those notebooks handy as there’s going to be plenty of clues on offer as the road to the Cheltenham Festival begins. The meeting kicks off a run of top-class jumps fixtures that take place every weekend from now until the end of the year.

Inside today’s main piece. It’s a case of starting my look ahead to the big race action at Cheltenham. Plus, there’s a look at some trainers who have a good record at Cheltenham’s November Meeting and a Wednesday selection from Kempton.

Evening all,

It’s day two at the Breeders' Cup with nine Grade 1 contests to enjoy from Keeneland.  

On Saturday ITV4 covering 11 races live on Saturday from Wincanton, Aintree, and Doncaster. At Wincanton the feature race of a seven race card is the 61st Badger Beer Handicap Chase (1:50).

The highlight of the racing at Aintree is the Boylesports sponsored Grand Sefton Handicap Chase (2:11) which see’s the Grand National fences in action for the first time this season.

The 2022 flat season slips quietly away at Doncaster where the highlight is the BetGoodwin November Handicap (3:13).

There’s also Grade 1 action at Down Royal where the feature contest in the Ladbrokes Champion Chase (2:32). It’s the best

ITV are also covering all nine races from the Breeders Cup so its close to a ten hour feast of action for racing fans to enjoy. So, it’s a case of sitting back and enjoy and be thankful the sport is being given such incredible coverage.

I have covered the Breeders Cup in detail already this week, so I won’t be covering old ground here.  That will please those of you who don’t like the meeting.

Inside today’s main preview you’ll find my thoughts on the best of Saturday’s action from Wincanton and Down Royal.
