The Morning Star 2026 Conference
Will Lucky soar to the winning place at Cheltenham?

THIS is perhaps the best betting race of the four days at the Cheltenham Festival and there are some very competitive events to have a look at, none more so than FIREFOX in the Jack Richards Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at 2.00.

 

This former top novice hurdler has yet to really hit the heights over fences, but the key to his chance here could be the step back up in trip to two-and-a-half miles, a distance he ran over when beaten just half a length by Croke Park in the Grade One Bar One Racing Drinmore Novices Chase at Fairyhouse.
