2024 Paddy Power Intermediate Handicap Hurdle Tips
Champagne Twist makes his seasonal debut on Saturday when lining up at Cheltenham and it’s easy to see the horse performing well. Ben Pauling trains a six-year-old who was able to win at Sandown and Doncaster last season before achieving a midfield finish in the competitive William Hill Handicap Hurdle at Aintree.
Dan Skelton has a couple of lively runners against the field, with Doyen Quest having finished second last time out. That was a solid performance out of seventeen runners, with the 4/1 favourite running well in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow. Back in April, there was a victory in the Kingston Stud Handicap Hurdle.
Major Fortune is his stablemate and another viable contender when you consider some of his previous performances. There was a victory at Newton Abbot last time out and the horse also achieved a tremendous strike rate earlier in the year. This included a succession of wins at Lingfield before a runner-up spot at Ayr.
Plaisir Des Flos has an unblemished recent track record and there’s plenty more to come from a horse who was successful at Carlisle towards the end of October. Previously to that, there were four consecutive victories which came at Sedgefield, Wincanton, Ayr and Perth, with Wyenot also a potential contender based on recent form.
