It’s the signing of the season! Pro punter Moray Smith (aka Cheltenham Man) joins the Racing Post

The Racing Post can reveal that pro punter Moray Smith has joined the publication for the forthcoming jumps season – just in time for the ultimate season preview The Big Jump Off.

Smith will provide fantastic insight every Wednesday, online for Racing Post Ultimate+ subscribers exclusively, and in Thursday’s newspaper. Anyone wishing to subscribe can do so now at a special discounted rate of £20 for the first month – that’s a whopping 60 per cent discount – using the code MORAYSMITH20 when joining Racing Post+ Ultimate Monthly.

Smith has made millions off the bookmakers during nearly two decades as a pro punter and his remarkable adventures in staying one step ahead were recounted in this hugely popular recent interview in the Racing Post.

• Meet the pro punter (and master of disguise) finally stepping out of the shadows after years of battling the bookies 

Specialising in ante-post betting on the biggest jump races, Smith has always focused primarily on the Cheltenham Festival, so much so he discovered that bookmakers referred to him as ‘Cheltenham Man’ in honour of his exploits. His success even brought him to the attention of JP McManus and he continues to provide advice to the legendary owner to this day.

Having exhausted his costume wardrobe and found it increasingly hard to place his desired number of bets, Smith has now stepped out of the shadows and chosen to share his insight from his time on the front line with Racing Post readers.

His first column will appear in the Big Jump Off, which is published online to Racing Post+ Ultimate on Sunday evening via the digital newspaper before appearing in the print edition the following day. Thereafter his weekly column will contain betting wisdom and anecdotes from his time as a punter plus ante-post advice as the season unfolds.

The Big Jump Off also includes unbeatable betting advice from Tom Segal and Paul Kealy, profiles of all the top trainers, Patrick Mullins on the season ahead, an interview with Rebecca Curtis on a huge season for new chasing star Haiti Couleurs, punting pointers for the major tracks, division-by-division analysis and jockeys to follow.

The very next day, published exclusively online for Racing Post+ Ultimate subscribers, Nicky Henderson kicks off our unmissable series of stable tours, the most in-depth and insightful around, also featuring the likes of Willie Mullins, Gordon Elliott, Dan Skelton and Paul Nicholls, and subscribers will continue to receive the very best coverage of the jumps season all the way through to the Cheltenham Festival and beyond.
