Runners and riders compete in the Randox Health County Handicap Hurdle during day four of the Cheltenham Festival at Cheltenham Racecourse
IT’S the final big weekend of trials for the Cheltenham Festival, and tomorrow’s cards look hugely competitive — with SONG FOR SOMEONE set to enhance his already solid each-way Champion Hurdle prospects in the Grade Two Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton (3.18).
This slick-jumping six-year-old is on a four-timer following three wins at Grade Two level. The last of those was at Cheltenham in the International Hurdle, holding off the subsequent Christmas Hurdle hero Silver Streak under a fabulous ride from Aidie Coleman.
A clear-cut win here will see double-figure prices disappear pretty quickly for this underrated and still unexposed top-class timber topper. So if you haven’t backed him yet for the big one next month, I would suggest you grab an each-way slice of the 20/1 on offer now.
