SUN Racing’s Monday selections offer promising opportunities for horse racing enthusiasts. One notable pick is OUTREACH, running in the 6:30 PM race at Wolverhampton. This horse secured a solid fourth-place finish in a previous outing at the same venue, indicating a familiarity with the track that could prove advantageous. With the experience gained from that run, OUTREACH is well-positioned to improve upon its performance and contend for a top spot in this race.
In addition to OUTREACH, Templegate highlights a 15-2 selection in Sussex, emphasizing the exceptional skills of jockey Charlie Deutsch. Known for his prowess in staying chases, Deutsch teams up with an 11-year-old horse trained by Venetia Williams. Williams has a notable track record with horses of this profile, making this pairing a compelling choice for punters seeking value in their bets.
For those looking ahead to the Cheltenham Festival, Templegate has proposed an ambitious 80-1 accumulator bet composed entirely of favorites. The selections include Kopek Des Bordes, Sir Gino, Brighterdaysahead, Constitution Hill, Teahupoo, Lulamba, and Galopin Des Champs. While accumulators carry inherent risks, the inclusion of strong favorites makes this an intriguing proposition for those aiming for a substantial return.
Trainer Willie Mullins is optimistic about Galopin Des Champs achieving a historic third consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cup victory. This remarkable feat has been accomplished by only a select few horses in history. Following a third successive Irish Gold Cup win at the Dublin Racing Festival, Galopin Des Champs is in prime form to make history at Cheltenham. Mullins also expresses confidence in Kopek Des Bordes, considering the horse a strong contender for the festival after an impressive performance at the Dublin Racing Festival.
In other racing news, the 4:00 PM race at Carlisle features CROAGH PATRICK, who previously delivered an impressive performance at the same venue. This history suggests a potential for a repeat success, making CROAGH PATRICK a horse to watch in this event.
