We've reached half-time at Cheltenham?

The first two days have had absolutely everything and Thursday's action promises plenty more. Be lucky.

3.30 Cheltenham: Home By The Lee

7

Home by the Lee (IRE)⁽⁷⁸⁾

J. J. Slevin | Joseph Patrick O'Brien, Ireland

15:30 Cheltenham

Result: 5th9/1

A knocking each-way bet. Joseph O'Brien is a splendid target trainer and this has been on the map for some time for Home By The Lee, who has developed into a high-class stayer this season. He was held in the race last year but if he's close at the last this time, then he just wins, doesn't he? What a renewal in store and some bookmakers are paying four places.

4.50 Cheltenham: Princess Zoe

16

Princess Zoe (GER)⁽⁴⁵⁾

D. E. Mullins | Anthony Mullins, Ireland

16:50 Cheltenham

Result: 5th9/1

The soft ground is bringing this mare into it, and her price is more than enough to compensate for concerns about her workmanlike hurdling debut. Unless Tony Mullins is wrong, she's going to be a much fitter horse here. She jumps well and clearly thumps these on her Flat form.
