Will Lucky soar to the winning place at Cheltenham?
Firefox ridden by Sam Ewing on their way to winning the Mongey Communications Beginners Chase on day one of the Ladbroke Festival of Racing at Down Royal racecourse, Lisburn, November 1, 2024

THIS is perhaps the best betting race of the four days at the Cheltenham Festival and there are some very competitive events to have a look at, none more so than FIREFOX in the Jack Richards Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at 2.00.

 

This former top novice hurdler has yet to really hit the heights over fences, but the key to his chance here could be the step back up in trip to two-and-a-half miles, a distance he ran over when beaten just half a length by Croke Park in the Grade One Bar One Racing Drinmore Novices Chase at Fairyhouse.
