Gordon Elliott already has Cheltenham in mind for Oldschool Outlaw, the Listed winner who downs Bambino Fever on hurdles debut in the Care At Home Services Mares Maiden Hurdle pic.twitter.com/ZKrFKwzcKs
BAMBINO FEVER IS understandably popular for this race, but the price discrepancy between Willie Mullins’ charge and Oldschool Outlaw, who won when these horses last met in Naas in December, is baffling. You may even get bigger than 4/1 on the day.
What is not to like? Oldschool Outlaw beat Bambino Fever at Naas and then looked better again in demolishing good horses at Fairyhouse last month. It is hard to see how she does not place at worst and this is one of the strongest each-way bets of the Festival, with trainer Gordon Elliott having an outstanding season.

Teahupoo (9-4, William Hill)
Stayers’ Hurdle, Thursday 3.20pm
An unlucky loser three years ago, an easy winner two years ago, and just grabbed close home last year, Teahupoo is the Jonbon of hurdling: not quite exceptional but as reliable as they come.

He looks better than ever this season, and it is really hard to see how he would finish outside the first three, so a strong each-way bet is advised, even allowing for the lively chance he will be a bigger price on the day.
Gordon Elliott feels Jack Kennedy may have kicked on earlier if he could run last year’s race again from scratch. In any event, everything is in place for a huge performance from Teahupoo, who never seems to be appreciated properly in the market.

Jeriko Du Reponet (4-1, William Hill)
Kim Muir Handicap Chase, Thursday 5.20pm
With his mark now down at 145, it’s hard to make the case that Jeriko Du Reponet has been treated harshly by the handicapper ahead of the Kim Muir.
His preparations appear to have him primed for a big run at Cheltenham, although he may find his main danger comes from another of JP McManus’s runners in green and gold, with the Henry de Bromhead-trained Waterford Whispers also likely to find plenty of support in the market.
