ITV Racing Tips on November 14th - Saturday's selections for Cheltenham and Windsor
Kabral Du Mathan is tipped to win the 1:45pm Cheltenham Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices' Chase, with his recent run and strong jumping at Perth providing a key advantage over Supreme winner Old Park Star. While Old Park Star brings proven Festival form, he may need this outing, making Kabral Du Mathan the preferred choice for this race. The article notes that Old Park Star could improve for the run and may reverse the form in future, but for Saturday's contest, Kabral Du Mathan is the selection.

ITV Racing Tips - Saturday 14th November
1:10pm Cheltenham - JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle Tips
James Owen has won this race with Burdett Road and East India Dock in recent seasons. He'll be dually represented this year, and it's Harry Cobden's mount Charles Darnay who has been backed into firm favouritism – despite retained rider Jonny Burke appearing to favour Magnetude.
I'll take an each-way chance on Jamie Snowden's recruit MIX MATCH (12/1). This beautifully bred son of Magic Dream finished a close third on his Flat debut in France before making a winning hurdles debut at Clairefontaine over the summer.
Mix Match tracked the pace that day, jumping nicely throughout, and responded well to pressure to claim a cosy victory. The third, fourth and fifth from that contest have won since, so the form is fairly solid. If he takes to Cheltenham, Mix Match could certainly outrun his odds.
1:25pm Windsor - Handicap Hurdle Tips
SURREY LORD (14/1) was progressive over hurdles for Toby Lawes last season. Kevin Brogan's mount won three times, including an impressive victory over 21 furlongs at Kempton, and was far from disgraced when fourth behind a real handicap blot in Came From Nowhere in the Holloways Handicap at Ascot.
Sadly, Surrey Lord met with a setback after that placed effort in Class 2 company and missed the rest of the season. Lawes' seven-year-old comes into this race fresh, and I'm hoping that the step up to three miles will unlock further improvement.
1:45pm Cheltenham - Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices' Chase Tips
The bookies have this as a straight shoot-out between the top two in the betting, and it's hard to make a case against them. Supreme winner Old Park Star is shading favouritism, despite KABRAL DU MATHAN (5/4) having the benefit of a recent run.
Dan Skelton's six-year-old jumped nicely on his chasing debut at Perth last month. The 2/9 favourite made all the running before stretching 19 lengths clear of Hold The Serve, who has come out and won a beginners' chase since.
Old Park Star has Festival form on his side, but that recent run gives Kabral Du Mathan the edge for me, and he's more likely to produce his best form on quicker ground than Nicky Henderson's Festival winner. Old Park Star is sure to improve for the outing, and I'd favour him to reverse the form if the two met in the Arkle come March. However, as far as Saturday's race is concerned, Kabral Du Mathan is the one to back.

2:55pm Cheltenham - From The Horses Mouth Podcast Handicap Hurdle Tips
The in-form Paul Nolan will be represented by Release The Beast in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. He's also sent IFIWEREARICHMAN (14/1) over for this handicap hurdle, and Nolan's eight-year-old is very well treated compared to his rating over fences.
Ifiwerearichman reached a mark of 137 over the larger obstacles last season before his jumping fell apart. Nolan's charge returned to hurdling in May and was unlucky not to finish in the minor places in a valuable handicap at the Galway Festival, where he was blocked on the rail as he attempted to make late inroads from the rear.
Eoin Staples' mount ran well again on his most recent outing at the Listowel Harvest Festival, finishing four lengths behind the winner in sixth. Ifiwerearichman is rated eight pounds lower over timber, and Staples – who gained valuable experience around Cheltenham last season – reduces his burden to just 10-13, thanks to his five-pound claim.
3:10pm Windsor - Handicap Hurdle Tips
Back to Windsor for a competitive two-mile handicap, where the striking SECRET SQUIRREL (7/2) will have his first outing over hurdles this season.
Hughie Morrison's seven-year-old landed a huge pot at the Winter Millions Meeting here at Windsor in 2025, beating the aforementioned Kabral Du Mathan in the Sovereign Handicap. Secret Squirrel wasn't seen last season until February, when he finished third in the Grade Two Kingwell Hurdle, before disappointing in both the County Hurdle and the Scottish Champion Hurdle.
After an uninterrupted summer this time around, Secret Squirrel ran well when third in a novice race on the Flat at Nottingham last month. Morrison's seven-year-old had his hurdles rating reduced by seven pounds following those two handicap outings in the spring, and Secret Squirrel can make his class count in this lesser contest.
3:30pm Cheltenham - Intermediate Handicap Hurdle Tips
Moneygarrow and Daylatedollarshort look set for a titanic tussle here. The fly in the ointment could be HILLBERRY HILL (7/1), who'll make his handicap debut.
An impressive winner of a maiden hurdle for Maggs Mullins in January, Hillberry Hill carried a penalty on his first start for Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls at Southwell in March. The 4/6 favourite was giving 12 pounds to 127-rated chaser The Flier Begley but never looked in danger of being passed, motoring to an easy seven-length success.
Based on that performance alone, this opening handicap mark of 122 seems rather lenient, and the Bailey and Nicholls partnership have started the 2026/27 season in solid form. Tom Bellamy will look to dictate matters from the front, and Hillberry Hill could prove extremely hard to pass if Bellamy gets his fractions right.
