Cheltenham Festival bound

Diamond Harry is generally a 7/1 chance for the RSA Chase- best prices below;

“I’ve only won on him once over fences at Newbury where he jumped OK, but he is a better horse than the bare form of that race shows,” said Murphy. I’m sure Nick (Williams) will get him back for Cheltenham and he is a horse that takes a bit of knowing. He doesn’t have a lot of scope but he’s pretty accurate with his feet in front.”

Timmy Murphy has a number of other good rides to look forward to at the Festival including Chapoturgeon and old stager Well Chief in the Champion Chase.

“Chapoturgeon did disappoint a bit last time but personally I don’t think he likes soft ground,” Murphy told At The Races. I think he’s a better horse on better ground and obviously he’s got to step up if he’s going to go for the Ryanair Chase with a chance. Well Chief is a credit to anyone whose had anything to do with him and the Pipes think they have him back as good as he ever was. If he goes out and gets a clear round, takes care of himself and takes care of me and runs to the best of his ability we can’t ask for more of him.”

2010 Cheltenham Festival Betting

Head of PR Charlie McCann: “Given the modest form of the Hobbs’ yard it was a good effort from Planet Of Sound who was arguably unlucky in this year’s Arkle Chase. We weren’t too impressed by the run of Nacarat despite his big-weight and pushed him out to 12s from 10/1 for the William Hill King George VI Chase on Boxing Day.”
