Joe’s best horse racing betting tips for the Cheltenham November Meeting Day 3 on Sunday (16th November)

Wait 5 sec.

Sunday at the November Meeting is all about the Greatwood Hurdle, a trademark Cheltenham scrap brimming with battlers, plot horses, and those late-market whispers that always shake things up.The mix of sharp novices testing their ceiling against street-wise handicappers gives the race its trademark chaos, and finding the right angle is half the fun.With strong supporting contests on the card, from progressive chasers to emerging stayers, Sunday brings a different kind of intensity to the weekend. It rounds things off with competitive racing, classy prospects, and plenty for punters to get stuck into.Top Cheltenham November Meeting 2025 betting offerCheltenham November Meeting (Sunday) tips1.15 Soldier Reeves – 10/1 each way with William Hill1.45 Jordans Cross – 7/2 with Betfred NAP2.20 Triple Trade – 9/2 with bet3652.55 Beauport – 4/1 with William Hill NEXT BEST3.30 Castle Carrock – 12/1 with Paddy Power4.00 Bud Fox – 7/4 with William Hill*odds provided are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change.Joe’s best horse racing betting tips for Cheltenham November Meeting Day 3 on Sunday (16th November)Find my top tips for today’s racing with odds from the best horse racing bookies below:1.15 mallardjewellers.com Maiden Hurdle (Class 2) 2m87yThe opener at Cheltenham on Sunday is a tricky puzzle to solve for punters! I have decided to chance SOLDIER REEVES at a double-figure price for Dan and Harry Skelton.We don’t have a lot of form to go on but he looked promising beaten just 2 lengths on debut at Newton Abbot last month. He seemed to be moving strongly before getting short of room and then outpaced. He will improve bundles now over hurdles and seems a bit overpriced all things considered.Ambiente Friendly is likely to be sent off favourite for James Owen. He was a useful type on the Flat and could do well now switched over hurdles. Hold The Serve is also interesting for Olly Murphy. He impressed winning a point to point and arrives with quite a big reputation. Bet on SOLDIER REEVES each way at 10/1 with William Hill 1.45 Bottlegreen Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (Class 3) 2m4f44yI rate Spadestep so for JORDANS CROSS to run that rival down at Aintree and win by over 2 lengths was impressive. He stayed on strongly through the line suggesting this step up in trip will suit and he is a horse I want to keep on side here and going forward. I can see this track suiting and he is completely unexposed so there is plenty to like.Jax Junior didn’t do much wrong on debut over fences bumping into Lump Sum. He was in that race for a long way before getting tired and is expected to improve and be a big player here. Jig’s Forge should have a bright future over fences but lacks experience so might do better for the run. Bet on JORDANS CROSS to win at 7/2 with Betfred 2.20 Hine Solicitors Talking Sense Handicap Chase (Class 3) 1m7f199yThis is arguably the toughest race of the day to try and work out so again I’d suggest only tentative stakes here. TRIPLE TRADE goes well at Cheltenham and with the yard in form should have a great chance.He ran well fresh at this track bumping into Dancing On My Own here a few years back so the lack of a run isn’t too much of a worry. He is back down the weights and now 12lb below his last winning mark should be capable of going close.Glengouly was beaten less than a length by Mambonumberfive at Aintree last time and a repeat of that would likely see him bang there.Ballybreeze was in winning form when last seen and returns eyeing up a hat-trick but he is up in the weights again and this is tougher. His Cheltenham record is hardly convincing either. Bet on TRIPLE TRADE each way at 9/2 with bet365 2.55 Oddschecker Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (Class 1) 3m3f71y9 of the last 12 winners were aged 7 and 91 of the last 12 winners were favourites/ joint favourites but 7 of 12 top 3 in the betting10 of the last 12 winners carried 10 stone 12lb or more9 of the last 12 winners had a rating of 142 or higherTanganyika will likely prove popular here with the mud flying but I prefer BEAUPORT who himself handles softer conditions just fine.He was last seen running creditably in the Grand National and this looks a good starting point for him this season. He has a good record fresh and notably the yard are in really good form.Protektorat is also worth a mention despite his advancing years.He is obviously proven at this track and while his final two starts last season need bettering he could still get involved here as these are calmer waters. Bet on BEAUPORT each way at 4/1 with William Hill 3.30 Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (Class 1) 2m87y10 of the last 12 winners were aged between 4 and 60 of the last 12 winners were favourites and just 3 of 12 top 3 in the betting2 of the last 12 winners won on their last run before8 of the last 12 winners were rated 133 or higherIt always pays to look away from the top of the market in the Greatwood and the trends confirm that. CASTLE CARROCK looks too big at 12/1 for Alan King. He has only had 4 starts and just 3 over hurdles.That form beating Diva Luna at Sandown looks all the better now and while he ran a bit flat at Kelso and again at Aintree he could be well handicapped off an opening mark of 133 and with testing ground no problem he could surprise a few here.Iberico Lord won this race back in 2023 and while he looks a bit high in the handicap could be suited by how this pans out so shouldn’t be underestimated. Alexei impressed winning at Ascot last time and is another one in with a shout in an open renewal as expected. Bet on CASTLE CARROCK each way at 12/1 with Paddy Power 4.00 Three Counties Christmas Open NH Flat Race (Listed) (Class 1) 2m87yI try not to have a strong opinion in bumpers as they are a bunch of babies running around a field so they are pretty much a lottery.BUD FOX does look the one to beat over from Ireland though.He looked promising winning at Punchestown and if improving again could show these a clean pair of heels.Saint Jeannais is well regarded and couldn’t have won any more impressively at Worcester so is one of the main dangers. Chicker is 2-2 and has course form so is another one who should be in there at the business end. Bet on BUD FOX to win at 7/4 with William Hill My top tip for Sunday’s racing at the Cheltenham November MeetingIt is a tricky day to close out the November meeting so I’m recommending an each way double. JORDANS CROSS was impressive beating another improver on chase debut and could follow up. BEAUPORT goes well fresh and looks a great bet in the handicap chase.
