TOMORROW: Trials Day at Cheltenham
MAWJ IS BACK AT MEYDAN
🔺 FORTUNE COOKIES are back on Trials Day at Cheltenham tomorrow, and one of our biggest successes on the Flat reappears in Dubai: Mawj (5.00 Meydan) is 2.5 on BETDAQ this morning for her first Group 1 of the season.
Frankel colt Measured Time (Charlie Appleby, William Buick) tries to follow up his Group-2 December success over Erzindjan and Ottoman Fleet.
But Newmarket 1,000 Guineas winner Mawj (Saeed bin Suroor, Oisin Murphy) gets all the allowances in the £237k 1m 1f Jebel Hatta.
HEATHCLIFF HITS THE HEIGHTS
⭕ 2.02 Lingfield War Bride has been second twice at Wolverhampton but Heathcliff (BETDAQ 3.4) traveled really strongly at Newcastle just before Christmas and was beaten a head, giving away weight.
⭕ 3.12 Lingfield In a bid to secure his hat-trick, He’s An Angel is dropped down a furlong by trainer Peter Niven but has to give weight all round.
Down from Yorkshire with him is Danny Tudhope, who has had four winners in the last six days on the Midland tracks of Southwell and Wolverhampton.
HALO TO LAND GOLD DOUBLE
⭕ 3.00 Sandown (Grand Military Gold Cup) Jody Sole has a 50% record (4-8) under rules in the last six years and is 140PP011 in this race in the decade.
If you ignore Broken Halo’s attempts over long distances, he is 011 at Sandown on good-to-soft ground, including this race last year when his jumping won him the day.
Joe Tizzard’s stable is having a good run and Rose Of Arcadia was the one for the money this morning (BETDAQ 3.75), while Golden Sovereign and Nestor Park have experienced riders.
Betdaq Betting Exchange 3.75 Rose Of Arcadia, 5.9 Broken Halo
23.0 SHOLOJACK FOR SKELTONS
⭕ 3.35 Sandown There are form horses of old who have a lot to prove now. Mullinaree landed five in a row last Spring and summer, and Chez Hans also had five in a row at a similar time of the year but way back in 2021.
David Maxwell drops Jatiluwih back to his winning distance but that’s more than four years ago. Robin’s Dream has been absent 382 days.
In-form Dan Skelton goes for a hat-trick in this race, and the trip and ground are right for Sholojack who has won in December or January for three years running.
East India Company, clearly useful on his day, is catching up for lost time, described as having ‘coughed and coughed for months,’ but his two wins were both on good ground.
Stablemate Spring Note has taken time to strengthen up but her Newbury win in December was promising; James Bowen takes over for the injured Nico De Boinville.
Lord Of Cheshire is a staying type who will enjoy this further step up in trip and seems to act on any going.
Issam has finished in the first three for nearly a year now, and Guyenyame has similar solid form, but without winning.
BETDAQ value 4 East India Express, 7.3 Spring Note, 23 Sholojack

What are points? Points facilitate a staking plan, which is the secret to creating profit. One point is whatever you choose: a pound, a euro, or whatever ….
