Cheltenham - 18th Oct

I wasn't anticipating a bet in the Showcase meeting that opens the season at the home of Jumping but can't resist a little nibble on Pure Science in the opening novice hurdle. This horse appeared on my radar when he was most impressive in winning a Bumper at Warwick in January (a card that The New One, who won this race last year for the same trainer also appeared on) and although he didn't win again he ran well enough in the Champion Bumper and remains a horse of some promise. We have loads of positives tomorrow - Twiston-Davies farms this meeting, he gets weight from more experienced rivals and a decent trip on his first attempt over timber are all nice plusses. I thought he'd be around 2/1 for this so am happy to take 7/2.

Novices' Hurdle:
Pure Science £50w @ 7/2
