4.00 Cheltenham, Saturday, January 28


In the Cleeve Hurdle (4.00) at Cheltenham, Unowhatimeanharry has done everything asked of him since joining Harry Fry from Helen Nelmes in October 2015 and, such has been his level of improvement in the last twelve months or so, he’s currently top-priced at 11/4 to win the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. The Sir Harry Lewis gelding has won all seven starts over hurdles for the Dorset handler, culminating in a 4½-length defeat of Lil Rockerfeller in the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot six weeks ago. A reproduction of that form should be plenty good enough to continue his winning streak and the even money available with Sky Bet, Ladbrokes, Coral and William Hill could look decent value by tea-time on Saturday.

Selection: Cheltenham 4.00 Unowhatimeanharry (1/1 favourite with Sky Bet, Ladbrokes, Coral and William Hill) to win
