IT’S the final big weekend of trials for the Cheltenham Festival, and tomorrow’s cards look hugely competitive with SONG FOR SOMEONE set to enhance his already solid each-way Champion Hurdle prospects in the Grade Two Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton (3.18).
This slick-jumping six-year-old is on a four-timer following three wins at Grade Two level. The last of those was at Cheltenham in the International Hurdle, holding off the subsequent Christmas Hurdle hero Silver Streak under a fabulous ride from Aidie Coleman.
A clear-cut win here will see double-figure prices disappear pretty quickly for this underrated and still unexposed top-class timber topper. So if you haven’t backed him yet for the big one next month, I would suggest you grab an each-way slice of the 20/1 on offer now.
