Cheltenham November Meeting | Tips and Preview with Andy Holding

Danny Archer is joined by Andy Holding to preview this weekend's racing from Cheltenham's November Meeting. With the National Hunt season back in full flow the guys are looking forward to getting an early look at the likes of Edwardstone, Three Stripe Life and more.

The highlight on Friday's card looks to be the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle where Hubrisko now heads the market. Hermes Allen is an interesting runner who'll be looking to build on his success after a 27L win last time out at Stratford.

There are two Grade 2 contests on Saturday's card, starting with the Prestbury Juvenile Hurdle at 12:35. Blueking Doroux (5/2) is the early favourite with Scriptwriter behind at a best price of 4/1. The second Grade 2 of the day is the Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices' Chase. A fascinating looking contest sees the likes of Monmiral, Banbridge and Pentland Hills go head-to-head. The former opened up an EVS favourite but is already out to 15/8. As well the Grade 2 action we'll also see the Paddy Power Gold Cup at 2.20. At the time of writing French Dynamite is the 4/1 favourite, closely followed by Ga Law (6/1) who was flagged up by Paul Ferguson on this week's episode of Racing Weekly.

Another two Grade 2 races follow on Sunday with The Cheltenham Chase at 1.45. A cracking looking field with Edwardstone (4/5) and Nube Negra (6/4) looking the two to beat. The final Grade 2 of the meeting is the Supreme Trial Novices' Hurdle. An open looking contest with Springwell Bay, Iberico Lord and Gin Coco likely to be popular in the market.
