Yet another bet for a handicap on Day 1 of the upcoming Cheltenham Festival that would need a few to come out to get a run, following the confirmation stage – this time in the closing National Hunt Challenge Cup Handicap Chase.
Sitting atop the market are Newton Tornado and Backmersackme, who both couldn’t be coming here in better form really after impressive victories at Doncaster and Leopardstown respectively. There aren’t too many negatives about either, as they look set to stay the trip and have sufficient evidence to suggest they handle the track. Maybe there might be some degree of doubt for Newton Tornado on a sounder surface than he has been flourishing on, but I’m not pinning my hat on that too strictly.
However, there are many horses in here who pitch up on the back of careers bests and/or wins, and so the market has a slightly biased view towards those types of horses. That has led to what I think is quite sizable error in the pricing of Emma Lavelle’s Silver Thorn, (who needs three to come out at declaration stage), and who can be backed at a whopping 40/1 each-way with Paddy Power or Sky Bet NRMB.
Always viewed as a nice prospect over hurdles, he bombed out on the day of his big seasonal target in the EBF Final, but it transpired that he bled and has since had a wind operation to rectify the issues.
Starting out life over fences at Lingfield Park back in November, and Silver Thorn was quickly on the back foot (metaphorically and in the race) as an early mistake couldn’t be shaken off. However, since that moment, everything Silver Thorn has done has looked to be building towards this day next week, as he has performed progressively and most importantly, jumped steadily more efficiently and fluently.
Wins at Doncaster and Exeter were impressive and owing to excellent handling from Harry Cobden and Ben Jones, and while they look booked for other rides in the race, Johnny Burke is set to benefit, and he’d be of similar regard to those other two.
That he is 40/1 is due to being beaten into 4th at Newbury a month ago, when setting very strong fractions on the front end of a good handicap (faster than the Denman Chase that day) in heavy ground, and understandably Silver Thorn faded a touch late on.
However, he didn’t fold one bit and this extreme trip on drying, decent ground is a set of conditions I bet connections can’t wait to test Silver Thorn on. At 40/1, there’ll be many shorter priced horses next week, with much less convincing claims in my view.
Another very competitive race but I’ve had WADE OUT in mind for this contest for some time and while there are clear dangers in this contest, I think he’s made to run a big race, especially now sporting first time cheek-pieces.
His way of going through his races has made him both a difficult watch and a brilliant winner from back in November win at this track. That came on slow ground but prior to that he beat Wendigo on Good ground over a trip too short for both.
His run in Windsor was nothing more than a run to qualify him for this contest in my eyes and Sean Bown always rides out of his skin but will be a man possessed this Festival having missed out on a winner in this race 12 months ago through a ban.
WADE OUT – 0.5 STAR EW @ 8/1 (5 places 1/5)

Irish-trained runners have dominated recent editions of the race, winning seven of the last nine. Favourites have struggled, with only one successful market leader this century, and most winners had built up experience over fences beforehand, with eleven of the last fourteen having at least four chase starts going into the race.
The race is run over 3 miles, 5 furlongs and 201 yards, making it the longest race on Day 1.
The race is restricted to amateur jockeys rather than professional riders.
