Our tipster reveals his best horse racing tips for Cheltenham on Saturday.

13:40 CHELTENHAM

FUSIL RAFFLES   is two from two over fences and should complete a perfect hat-trick in Grade 2 action here.

A gutsy chase debut at Uttoxeter was followed up with a dominant display over course and distance last month, finishing nearly ten lengths ahead of Sir Valentine.

Daryl Jacob has high hopes for this five-year-old this season and he is definitely the one to beat.

14:15 CHELTENHAM

It’s the Gold Cup up next and, having tipped SIMPLY THE BETTS   in the Brown Plate in March, I think he’ll be tough to oppose once again.

His form is superb reading (112-11) and he is two from two on this course with wins in January and March – beating Imperial Aura and last year’s winner Happy Diva in both of those races.

That’s a huge form boost and he is a worthy favourite.

I would also keep your eyes on Aso , who looks a very big price.

The veteran finished runner-up to Frodon in the 2019 Ryanair Chase, and also put in a big effort in last year’s Charlie Hall Chase.

His last two runs were a little sluggish, but he is proven over this trip and has course form so could be a nice each-way bet.

15:25 CHELTENHAM

CAPTAIN TOM CAT   looks a really nice prospect for Dr Richard Newland and should go very close in this handicap.

Following a decent effort in second on debut, the five-year-old has won three on the bounce, including a handicap victory over course and distance last time out.

He is really well-handicapped in this field and, with exciting young jockey Cillin Leonard in the saddle once again, he should have a great chance winning.

I’m going to give an each-way shout to Topofthecotswolds   as well for the Twiston-Davies team.

He’s been in decent form since August (213), including that third in the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle on this course behind Does He Know, who was a dominant winner on Friday.

That’s a nice form boost so he could get amongst the places.

15:55 CHELTENHAM

We're finishing off with the Bumper and I’m quite sweet on Anthony Honeyball’s UCANAVER .

He responded to finishing runner-up on debut with an emphatic 20-length victory at Fontwell over 1m 5f.

The manner of that victory suggests to me that he should have no issues with the step up in trip.

WIN DOUBLE
