CHELTENHAM DAY THREE

Today's big race is the Ladbrokes World Hurdle (3.15pm) and I have a feeling that Natal could be one to follow. He's around 14/1 at the moment which is a fair price based on his form so far. He's not run over this distance but is progressive, young and has eight wins from his 16 career starts. The owners have paid a supplement of 12,500 pounds to include his in the race so they must fancy his chances, and the bonus of having Ruby Walsh as the jockey is an important factor too. He might not have the class to win but he'll be there if any of the favourites falter. And at Cheltenham you always have to consider that. I suggest 50p each way.
Like yesterday I will give you one more tip. In the last race, the Pertemps Final (5.20pm) there is one horse that looks to be amazing value. One his day Rhinestone Cowboy is a class horse. He's not raced much in the last year so will be fresh, and has the added bonus of winning over both course and distance. He's high in the weights but should like the ground, and if he can recapture his past form then 14/1 is great value. I suggest 50p each way.
