Jockeyship in the amateur riders’ races at the Cheltenham Festival is of course an important angle to consider, and without knowing specific bookings it’s hard to be too dogmatic about any potential bets, but when the price is too big to ignore anyway, then perhaps taking a swing and hoping that connections have booked an able amateur is the way to go.
That’s certainly the case with the 25/1 each-way NRMB available with Coral or Ladbrokes about Weveallbeencaught, who was 4th in last year’s Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Jockey’s Handicap Chase on the Thursday of the Cheltenham Festival.
Since that excellent run in the race last year, Weveallbeencaught has since joined Eric McNamara and was initially lined up for a tilt at the trainer’s big local race, the Munster National at Limerick, where he was an excellent second to his classy stablemate French Dynamite, who somewhat got first run.
It was notable how strong Weveallbeencaught was in the market that day, and perhaps it is a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ given he has only had one disappointing start since. That can be absolutely forgiven as it came at Leopardstown at Christmas time, and he was asked to race on the notoriously deep stuff on the inside of Leopardstown’s chase track.
Presumably all roads will be leading back to the Kim Muir again, and it would be surprising if Weveallbeencaught wasn’t tuned up and ready to go, and with hopefully a notable Irish amateur booked to take the ride.
Given he came from further back in the run last year compared with the three that finished in front of him, it’s hoped that the freshening a change of scenery can provide, and maybe more luck in the run, and the 25/1 each-way available now might look quite tasty nearer the time.
ROAD TO HOME was last seen over hurdles at the DRF on heavy ground which to me screamed of a prep run for a spring target. He’s suited to this type of ground and won last March under Patrick Mullins albeit when sent off as a 2/9 favourite. His mark of 131 for this contest is the just 3lbs higher than HRI official rating and for me the form of his Newbury 3rd reads well with how the two runners in front of him have performed since.
He looks a horse who enjoys passing rivals, so in this big field contest under a patient Patrick Mullins ride I think we might just be able to see the best of him, which should be good enough to at least fill the frame
ROAD TO HOME – 0.5 STAR EW @ 14/1 (5 places 1/5)
