'He looked a natural on his chasing debut' - Harry Wilson returns with tips for every race on day two of Cheltenham's December meeting

Our tipster marks your card for the terrestrial action from Cheltenham and Doncaster

Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all seven races from Cheltenham on Saturday, plus the three races live on ITV from Doncaster.


12.10 Cheltenham
JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle, 2m1f

Harry's tip: One Horse Town

One Horse Town easily justified short odds on his first three starts over hurdles before taking his form to a new level with victory in the Grade 2 Triumph Trial at Cheltenham last month. He looks an exciting prospect and can defy a 7lb penalty.

12.40 Cheltenham
Michael Eakins Senior Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, 3m1½f

Harry's tip: The Jukebox Kid

The Jukebox Kid won a point-to-point by 16 lengths before landing the first of two starts over hurdles and looked a natural on his chasing debut at Carlisle last time, jumping well before asserting up the hill. He shapes as though he could have plenty more to come over staying trips and can follow up.

1.15 Cheltenham
Quintessentially Mares' Handicap Chase, 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Georgi Girl

Georgi Girl put up her two best efforts last season on the New course here, finishing fifth to Wodhooh over hurdles at this meeting and third behind a pair of Irish raiders in a Grade 3 handicap chase in April. She looked in need of her return and is expected to bounce back off an attractive mark back at this track.

1.50 Cheltenham
Support The Hunt Family Fund December Gold Cup Handicap Chase, 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Kim Roque

Kim Roque created a good impression on his stable debut for Joseph O'Brien at the November meeting, finishing second in a hot-looking novice handicap chase. He may have got closer to the winner but for a mistake at the last that halted his momentum and he makes plenty of appeal off 5lb higher here.

2.05 Doncaster
bet365 Pennine Handicap Chase, 3m

Harry's tip: Prince Zaltar

Prince Zaltar has done well over hurdles since joining Dan Skelton, winning at Newton Abbot in September and chasing home a subsequent winner at Cheltenham last month. He gets to run off the same mark now going over fences (he was a chase winner in Ireland) and could have more to offer.

2.40 Doncaster
bet365 Doncaster Mares' Hurdle (Listed), 3m½f

Harry's tip: World Of Fortunes

Kateira is the one to beat but she's yet to win in four attempts at this trip, including being a beaten favourite at 4-7, 8-11 and 11-8. I'd rather chance World Of Fortunes, who won a Listed race over course and distance in March, and looked better than ever when landing a Ballinrobe handicap in September.

3.00 Cheltenham
Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2), 3m

Harry's tip: Conman John

Conman John shaped as though he'd benefit from stepping up in trip when landing a 2m5f novice at Kelso on his hurdling debut and proved that when seeing out 3m strongly to beat a subsequent winner at Cheltenham in October. That looks the strongest form on offer and he can take the step up in class in his stride.

3.17 Doncaster
Each Way Extra At bet365 Handicap Hurdle, 2m½f

Harry's tip: Bowmore

Bowmore ran into the well-treated Indemnity (subsequently placed in the Gerry Feilden) on his seasonal return in October and had no trouble going one better at Newbury last month, beating a subsequent winner by five lengths. He's effectively just 6lb higher, given Daire McConville can claim his full 7lb allowance, and can follow up.

3.35 Cheltenham
Download The BetMGM App Mares' Handicap Hurdle, 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Siog Geal

Siog Geal ran into a couple of good mares before proving to be well treated off a mark of 116 when landing a Grade 2 handicap hurdle at Newbury in March. She wasn't beaten far off a 6lb higher mark on her reappearance behind one who went close in a Grade 3 handicap next time and should be suited by returning to a mares' race.
