BoyleSports serve up a magnificent €70 in free bets exclusively for Irish customers

BoyleSports is offering an outstanding Cheltenham special this weekend for Irish customers, presenting you with an unrivalled €70 in free bets, including €5 to use on each day of the Cheltenham Festival.

With just over two weeks until National Hunt's showpiece, there is no better time to boost your betting purse with the BoyleSports sign up offer and Saturday’s action serves up plenty of opportunities to do just that.

At Kempton Park, the richest race on the card is the Coral Trophy Handicap Chase at 3.00. This looks a trappy affair and will certainly get you warmed up for Festival form study.

When glancing at the past winners of this race, trainer Tom George has won this three times since 2009, most notably with today’s contender Clondaw Castle in 2021, when he was rated one pound higher than today.

Clondaw Castle is remarkably consistent, having finished out of the top three only once on his last ten runs and will be primed for today. His trainer is excellent at getting his horses back in the winner's circle with Bun Doran returning to winning form at Sandown last week. Good ground will suit and jockey Johnny Burke has been firing in the Saturday winners this season. At 9-1 this is a generous each-way price.

There are plenty of threats lurking, last year’s winner Cap du Nord returns on the back of a victory last week and claimer Cian Quirke negates his five pound penalty. Grade 1 winner Frodon and the talented Saint Calvados represent the in-form Paul Nicholls yard, while current favourite Annsam was mighty impressive when winning at Kempton last time by 17 lengths.

In the opener on the card at Kempton, Joseph O’Brien sends over Nusret who won impressively at Punchestown in November by six lengths before finishing third behind Triumph Hurdle favourite Lossiemouth and the classy Bloody Destiny, albeit by wide margins. This should present an easier task on ground he appreciates and he is one of the more experienced in the field. Scriptwriter is bidding to strengthen his claims for the Triumph Hurdle, while Rare Middleton looks a horse on the up as he steps into Grade 2 company.

From speedy juvenile hurdlers to dour staying chasers - at Fairyhouse, the Grade 3 Bobbyjo Chase is the feature race of the day. Willie Mullins has won nine of the last twelve runnings of this race and once again sends out the market principals.

Kemboy is current favourite, while the more unexposed Thyestes winner Carefully Selected is strong in the betting. Kemboy brings the Grade 1 form to the race, last seen in the Irish Gold Cup when finishing sixth and today drops in class. On form, the talented stayer should get the better of his rivals.

Pencilfulloflead was an eye-catching third when staying on in the Thyestes, Gordon Elliott has won this twice in the last ten years and this consistent type should go well. Longhouse Poet is certainly not one to write off, a former Thyestes winner and sixth in last year’s Aintree Grand National, he is back over fences following a run over hurdles last time.
