Tips for Day 4 from Ruby Walsh
Tips Rice Power
13.30 – JCB Victory Barrier: Blood Fate
“If it looks heavy on the road, it befits Blood Fate because then it turns into an endurance race.
“I don’t see any pace that would push the pace in this race, but if the ground is really tough and the track puts him in trouble, it definitely works.” of Blood Destiny goodness”
14:10 – District Barrier: baleman
“If I were to get a tip, I would be there baleman. I thought it ran pretty behind the Gaelic Warrior and was probably too expensive at 25/1.
14.50 – Albert Bartlett Novice Barrier: Corbetts Cross
“I’m with Corbetts Cross. He’s taller Three Card Bragging now on the bets that really suit me. He’s a potential superstar and I’m with him.
“Three Card Bragging he did nothing wrong. Sandor Clegane far behind good country But in Leopardstown good country Failed at Ballymore.
“I’ve been together Corbetts Cross Go away from the word and I won’t turn my back on him. Whether he wins Albert Bartlett or not, at some point he will be a Gold Cup horse.”
15.30 – Gold Cup: Galopin Des Champs
“I have always been one Galopin Des Champs I’m a fan and I won’t leave him now. I didn’t win the Gold Cup for Willie Mullins, but Paul Townend may be on the verge of winning third place for him.”
16.10 – Festival Competition Cup Hunters Tracking: vase but in value Chris’ Dream
“I’m a vase fan. Billaway A shout from all directions at 8/1 but Chris’ dream It is the value at 10/1. vase a big, big runner.
16.50 – Chasing Paddy Power Mares: Allegory De Vassy
“There is a concern Allegory De Vassy he’s jumping right but he’s been jumping straight lately, hopefully he’ll do that again on Friday. He is the horse of the class in the race. If you wanted to go against him, you would have to be really big on someone like him. Riviere D’etel.
“Hopefully Paul Townend being the lead driver is in balance and needs to go out and put in a lot of effort. If he does that, he (Allegory De Vassy will win).
17.30 – Martin Pipe Obstacle: spanish harlem
“spanish harlem improved this week, but also Cool Survivor And Imagine. It’s a competitive race and one of the newbies will win it. I hope so spanish harlem because this would complete an incredible week for Michael O’Sullivan.
“But at a price, Spirit of Legend. i would be by your side spanish harlem, but for double digit value, Spirit of Legend”
