day of the jumps season at Sandown is all about Willie Mullins who will remain long odds-on to claim back-to-back trainers’ championships even if Skelton picks up a slice of the prize money before his Irish counterpart even has a runner on Saturday Four horses gunning for Mullins in the bet365 Oaksey House Chase and 10 of the 20 runners in the day’s feature bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase is a formidable assault and after all that last year’s champion is responsible for four of the 10 horses declared in the concluding handicap hurdle for good measure There’s even a chance the diminutive Il Etait Temps could get in on the act against Jonbon in the bet365 Celebration Chase but I suspect there is a bit of the title race hype factored into his overnight price around the 6/1 mark No Irish runner at all in the bet365 Josh Gifford Novices’ Handicap Chase but a fascinating contender in MAHONS GLORY and I can’t really understand why he’s available at such a big price Newmarket trainer Dylan Cunha’s only jumps horse to date he’s a perfect two from two for this yard since moving from Pat Neville and the way he popped away around Stratford before winning as he liked under 12 stone marked him down as a really progressive chaser He’s only had a handful of starts in this sphere (was 2-18 over hurdles) but is clearly thriving and the last win appeared to come in spite of the two fences on the side of the track being bypassed Jumping looks his forte if anything and I’m really looking forward to seeing what this horse can do at Sandown especially as the latest generous-looking 3lb rise means he’s still only 1lb higher in the weights than when second to Hyland at Southwell last June Mahons Glory has only really got Pic Roc for company on the Timeform pace map and if that one jumps like he did at Ayr the other week then it could turn into a bit of a solo up front for Lee Edwards on the selection You’re almost forced to be with or against Mullins in the bet365 Gold Cup and I just don’t think any of his horses represent anything in the way of value I can see Dancing City taking a slide in the betting but he seems unlikely to hit double-figure odds which would interest me a little and I’m prepared to think outside the box a bit in order to eke one out a bigger price KING’S THRESHOLD is competing from 8lb out of the weights and has a question mark over his stamina for this kind of trip but they are the obvious negatives out of the way and aside from that there seems to be loads to recommend him Trainer Emma Lavelle must have been tearing her hair out when this gorgeous-looking son of Yeats wasn’t quite seeing his races out properly earlier in his career but the fitting of the tongue-tie has worked wonders and he’s now three from three since it was first applied The horse also underwent wind surgery prior to the second leg of that hat-trick at Warwick in February and it was hard not to be impressed by how well he won at Newbury last month too he’s effectively running off 142 on Saturday so it’s a significantly taller order but who knows quite where the ceiling of ability lies now he’s on a roll and full of confidence Just looping back to the potential stamina doubts briefly it’s definitely worth underlining the fact that he’s closely related to Captain Cattistock and Bretney while winning this would be a fitting end to the campaign for his rider Ben Jones as he’s been one of the success stories of the season Jones has a very tidy Sandown record to keep up as well having had four winners from just 14 rides on the chase course here over the years (2-6 in current season) I’d have liked this horse’s claims in a more typical renewal and have to stand by him at current odds which are inflated accordingly on account of the army from Closutton including the slightly annoying Grangeclare West who is rated 168 and acts as a bit of a spoiler up at the top Away from the jumping action, DIVINE LIBRA looks too big a price in the Try Unibet’s New Same Race Multis Handicap at Haydock it was second time out that was the time to catch him last spring and with Chester’s big meeting just around the corner – something he’s bound to have on the agenda again – perhaps it would be wise to tread carefully on seasonal debut here but it’s worth recalling he did win on his three-year-old comeback in 2023 and that’s not the only thing going for him Trainer Charlie Hills is in pretty good form while the prevailing ground looks right up his street as he wouldn’t want it too quick The low draw counted against him first time up in a sprint at Newbury last April and not only did he deliver on that fairly promising effort when winning well on the Roodee in May he twice recorded strong figures in major seven-furlong handicaps at Newmarket and back at Chester later in the campaign Currently rated just 1lb higher than for the second of those efforts in late-August he hung his chance away and reportedly lost a shoe when down the field on his last run towards the back-end of the year at Ascot and I still think there’s scope for further improvement from the nicely-bred son of Dark Angel whose progeny so often go on and get better with age A central draw this weekend given Jason Watson all the options he’d like and if he can just sit off the like pace-makers Myal and Gorak through the early stages then Divine Libra could be in

Read our Privacy notice Wise Eagle boasts a tremendous record around the contours of Musselburgh and could be poised to repeat his 2023 victory in the Virgin Bet Queen’s Cup (3.35pm) on Saturday The selection has run six times at Saturday’s venue under both codes with the sole defeat sustained by a short head over this course and distance four years ago His victory in this race two years ago was achieved in the hands of Danny Tudhope and it was perhaps notable the eight-year-old recorded a marked career best over hurdles with a fine effort behind the resurgent Bashful at Kelso a performance which proves he’s in good heart at present Hopefully, that run has put Wise Eagle on point fitness wise as well as preserving his handicap mark ahead of this event and the prices on offer with betting sites offering four places look very fair given his track record fellow Musselburgh lover Gweedore (2.25pm) could be another to roll back the years in the Virgin bet Silver Arrow Handicap the selection is unlikely to find any improvement but he ran a blinder last week behind Our Havana and it’s interesting that connections reach for the cheekpieces for the first time Gweedore has run 14 times at the Scottish venue winning five times and being placed on seven other occasions he takes on lesser exposed rivals who are lightly raced – most notably Waleefy who is sure to improve and progress this summer – but his track experience will be handy and he looks a fair each-way play with one betting app offering four places backward type who has taken time to mature it would be unwise to let Waleefy go unbacked on his first start as a four-year-old off what looks a workable mark of 88 for a stable in red-hot form but he could be a class above his rivals in time and possessed the pace to win over six furlongs as a three-year-old so is worth a saver on a track which favours speed Training partnership David & Nicola Barron landed the Virgin Bet Scottish Sprint Cup two years ago with Zarzyni and they could repeat the trick courtesy of Jer Batt (3pm) who appears nicely drawn to strike for the North Yorkshire outfit the son of Dragon Pulse wound up last season with a career best effort at Doncaster in October and is a sprinter with a good record fresh as successes after 47 49 and 112-day track absences would suggest Over at Haydock, An Taillur (2.40pm) has become dangerously well handicapped now he has dropped to a mark of just 125 and he must surely get the good ground he craves here. With some horse racing betting sites offering three places he makes some appeal for a yard going well at present Duke Of Deception (3.50pm) should gain some compensation for a couple of commendable recent efforts in a four-runner handicap which may not take a great deal of winning It’s easy to get carried away during busy sporting weekends like Easter but it’s vital bettors stick to a budget and no matter the circumstances It’s particularly important not to get carried if you receive a casino bonus or any free bets You can stay in control by making use of the responsible gambling tools offered You may also want to visit the following free organisations to discuss any issues with gambling you might be having: We may earn commission from some of the links in this article but we never allow this to influence our content This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent We aim to offer every online gambler and reader of The Independent a safe and fair platform through unbiased reviews and offers from the UK’s best online gambling companies Gambling can be addictive, always play responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.
