Skidmore's Selections: Best Bets

By Ryan Skidmore


Cheltenham

13:10 - Castle Robin 5/1 1pt ew 4pl


CASTLE ROBIN made a very promising seasonal return when finishing 4th at Kelso in a competitive race against some smart rivals. The rivals he faces today are not of the same caliber and this prolific winner looks a big player back down in class, so long as he gets into a good rhythm. Charlie Longsdon has added cheekpieces today and he looks a solid each way bet at odds of around 5/1.

Cheltenham

14:20 - Simply The Betts 16/1 0.5pt ew 5pl


Paul Nicholls has been saying that this former festival winner is in the best form he has had him in since moving to Ditcheat, and he is confident of a big run today under new owner and rider David Maxwell. SIMPLY THE BETTS thrives at Cheltenham and has 2 wins and plenty of other good runs to his name at the course. He showed up well for a long way last year in this race before finishing 6th and he looks a fair price today at around 16/1 with good ground conditions to suit.
