talkSPORT racing tips – Best racing bets and expert advice on Friday’s Cheltenham November Meeting

Wait 5 sec.

Jump racing fans have plenty to smile about this weekend, as Cheltenham’s second-best fixture of the season takes place. The November meeting gets underway on Friday and we have six excellent races to look forward to, including the return of Jonbon in the feature.Jonbon takes on three rivals in the Grade 2 Shloer Chase and you won’t want to miss the Listed Mucking Brilliant Paddy Power Novices’ Chase. The veterans’ handicap chase looks competitive and the penultimate race is a decent-looking graded novice event.November meeting exclusive offer: Get £40 in free bets when you place a £10 on the racing – CLAIM HERE*Our expert has been tasked with picking out three strong fancies to follow on Day 1 and chief among them is a Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies runner in the Grade 2 novice hurdle who made a very good impression when winning on his debut at Fontwell last time out.Friday Cheltenham tips13:10 – Glancing Jack @ 7/414:55 – Outlaw Peter @ 9/215:30 – Ferocimo @ 3/113:10 Cheltenham – Glancing Jack @ 7/4Dan Skelton is going to be unstoppable for much of the season, if current trends are anything to go by, and he’s set to be represented by the lightly raced Glancing Jack. Having had just three starts over hurdles so far, it’s very likely that there’s plenty more to come.He makes his first start for Dan Skelton here and the gelding made a good impression when winning a Hereford bumper on his debut back in December 2024. It didn’t take him long to get going over hurdles and he easily beat a subsequent winner when scoring at Hereford.That four-and-a-quarter-length victory was followed by a fair second behind Storming George on his handicap debut. The winner went on to land a Grade 1 at Aintree on his next start, so Glancing Jack should be capable of winning off this sort of mark on that evidence.14:55 Cheltenham – Outlaw Peter @ 9/2The Jilly Cooper Veterans’ Handicap Chase has attracted a competitive field of eight, and there are a couple of last-time-out winners among the field. Paul Nicholls’ Outlaw Peter gets the nod and he should be capable of winning races off a mark of 139.A four-time winner over fences, he returned to winning ways in the series final at Haydock in April and positive tactics paid dividends that day. He was left in the lead at the third-last fence and made no mistake from that point onwards, kicking over four lengths clear.Connections decided to step him up in grade off the back of that effort and he produced a solid performance to finish third in the rearranged Silver Trophy over the same course and distance. He’s been dropped 1lb since and should find life easier in this company.15:30 Cheltenham – Ferocimo @ 3/1The Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies-trained Ferocimo managed to win an Irish point at Ballycrystal back in March. That form has since been boosted by the third, who went on to win a Punchestown maiden hurdle, and Ferocimo was sold for £115,000 after the win.This son of Order Of St George made his stable and rules debut in a Fontwell maiden hurdle last month and it’s fair to say that he made a good impression. Travelling strongly throughout, Sam Twiston-Davies kept things simple and he strolled to victory by 14 lengths.It’s no surprise that connections have decided to step him up in grade off the back of that win and he looks ready for it on that evidence. You would imagine that he’s likely to step forward from that run and the same connections landed this race with Potters Charm two years ago.November meeting exclusive offer: Get £40 in free bets when you place a £10 on the racing – CLAIM HERE*All odds correct at time of writing.Remember to gamble responsiblyA responsible gambler is someone who:Establishes time and monetary limits before playingOnly gambles with money they can afford to loseNever chase their lossesDoesn’t gamble if they’re upset, angry or depressedGamcare – www.gamcare.org.ukFind our detailed guide on responsible gambling practices here.For help with a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or go to www.gamstop.co.uk to be excluded from all UK-regulated gambling websites.*18+ New Customers.
