This one should be too classy for the others today

[Karabiner]

These are my picks from today's outstanding card at Cheltenham.

Harchibald should have far too much in his locker for mostly 4yo opposition in the 3.15pm at Cheltenham.

I'm on him @ 6/4, and I'm also on Redemption @ 10/1 in the 2.40pm who is back over a more suitable 2m5f and with only 10st 2lb today.

Both horses have their foibles.

Harchibald has to be produced at the last minute to win, and Redemption's jumping is not the most trustworthy.

But on a fine day with a following wind.............

nice one, I'll have a bit on those, could use the winner at 10's !

if redemption jumps round (which is his main problem) then he has a huge chance - and at the price is a good bet

harchibald is  tricky horse to say the least. he is a bridle horse and finds zilch when off the bridle.  if he comes of the bridle today ill be surprised

harchibald is a good bet and shud be nearer 4/7 than his current 6/4 on betfair -

id wait till in running before backing redemption - see how he jumps the first few. some punters will lay him regardless at big odds regardless of how he is jumping, cos he is a dog.

all in all 2 good picks mate - gl

forgot to add above

back harchibald at 6/4 now

in running he will be 1.4/1.5

then trade off

guaranteed profit

I like Redemption again today but 10's are gone now.  Should be good for a place though, have taken 3 on BF.
