It’s slightly galling that initial Fred Winter tip La Luna Artista was balloted out of the race following declarations, but given the recommendation was NRMB, it’s a case of no damage and an ability to simply re-invest in a horse who was always going to be an additional selection for the race anyway.
At 13/2 each-way with Ladbrokes or Coral for 5 places, Winston Junior is the 2-star ** play in the McCoy Contractors Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at 2.40 on Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival.
There are many classy flat horses who have taken to hurdling to varying degrees of aptitude lining up here, and the likes of Ammes, Manlaga, Saratoga and Mustang Du Breuil would all be of some interest, but without doubt the one who has suggested strongly that this race will really suit is Winston Junior.
He relished decent ground on the flat and showed the requisite speed and stamina on several occasions to be a potent force over hurdles. Progressive in all three hurdle starts, he has shown an aptitude for Cheltenham with his run behind the horse who I believe should be Triumph Hurdle favourite, and then a tactical versatility by leading the field a merry dance at Ascot the time after.
All the while, Winston Junior’s hurdling has been getting better, and it feels as if connections have explored every variable and found positivity wherever they’ve looked. The final piece of the jigsaw, given regular pilot Harry Cobden was always going to be claimed to ride for Paul Nicholls, was a top-level jockey.
To be able to enlist the services of Jack Kennedy, when his regular employers Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown both have runners, suggests connections of Winston Junior really have left no stone unturned and mean the most serious of business. Take note and take the 13/2 each-way for 5 places.
A hard race to have conviction in but I thought DIGNAM was worth a chance with a line put through his latest effort in France on very slow ground. He was a non-runner on the flat last summer on Soft ground but he notched up three consecutive hurdle wins on Good ground on these shores during July and August and he sauntered to victory in each of those races too.
Using the horse he beat first time up Lord to frank the form is easy given he’s now rated 126 and won his next three races after being slammed by DIGNAM who even pecked on landing at the last but still won taking a pull.
There’s going to be plenty of more versatile types in here than the selection, and there are probably some who are potentially better treated. But on ground that could be quick enough for a trainer who has taken this race the last twice and 3 times in the last 7, there’s plenty of upside to him and he’s a generous price if he can put it all together and conditions allow him to do that.
DIGNAM – 0.5 STAR EW @ 25/1 (6 places 1/5)

If you’re searching for Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle tips for Cheltenham 2026, this page will provide everything you need to stay ahead of the market.

These opportunities don’t come up every year, but when they do, they can be worth snapping up ahead of Festival week. This is especially true if you’re able to find favourable ante-post prices with a bookie offering non runner no bet for Cheltenham.
As we approach raceday, the focus moves to the confirmed field, and you’ll find updated Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle tips from both Will Smith and Dave Young.

This race has been dominated by Irish-trained runners, with the last eight renewals all going to Ireland. Joseph O’Brien and Gordon Elliott have trained six of those eight winners between them, which shows how often this contest centres around a small group of yards. Favourites have struggled badly, with only one winning since 2010.
The handicap has also tended to suit horses towards the top end of the weights. Seven of the last nine winners came from the first twelve on the racecard, while none of the last thirteen winners had won more than two hurdles before success. Previous Cheltenham experience has not been required, as none of the recent winners had raced at the track beforehand.
The race is restricted to four-year-old hurdlers.
It is run over 2 miles and 87 yards on the Old Course.
Each runner carries a weight based on its official rating, with higher-rated horses carrying more weight.
Yes, it often attracts a large and closely matched field of improving young hurdlers.
