Best Cheltenham Bets On Day 2: Wednesday 12th March – Can Jonbon Grab His First Festival Win?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1:20 Turners Novices\u2019 Hurdle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\ud83e\udd47 FINAL DEMAND <\/strong>
\n\ud83e\udd48THE YELLOW CLAY<\/strong>
\n\ud83e\udd49THE NEW LION
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New Lion has been all the rage for this race after his Challow Hurdle romp over Christmas and has since been snapped up by JP McManus. He’s now 3-from-3 over hurdles and could be a horse that goes to the very top.<\/p>\n

However, that said, we still can’t help to notice the terrible Turners Novices’ Hurdle trend<\/a> regarding the Challow Hurdle. ALL 21 past winners of that Newbury race to turn up here have lost.<\/p>\n

I’d also question the form of that Challow Hurdle anyway. With the third Bill Joyce losing next time, plus the fourth – the expensive Regent’s Stroll also losing since at Windsor.<\/p>\n

This, therefore, paves the way for Willie Mullins<\/a> to win his 8th Turners – this time with his impressive DRF winner Final Demand<\/strong>, who slammed Wingman by 12 lengths, and it could have been double that.<\/p>\n

That was only his second run over hurdles too, so can be expected to have a bundle more improvement to come. Plus, with the horse looking a stayer in the making already – we know the trip and hill will be fine.<\/p>\n

Of the rest, Potters Charm has had a busy season and has won twice at Cheltenham. Yes, he flopped last time here on Trials Day, but the better ground will suit and after five races between Sept-Jan has also been freshened up. While The Yellow Clay, who was 6th in the Champion Bumper and is 4-4 over hurdles, can also go well.<\/p>\n
