Key Points

Today’s betting tip has exceptional course form
His jockey booking could be the key to success
He’ll enjoy the faster ground conditions

We hit the places on Day 1 of The November Meeting at Cheltenham with High Fibre finishing third in the opening race. While many would have been hesitant to play him each way, it proved to be the right call, as most of our stake was recouped. Could the ride have been better? Sure. However, that’s always a risk you take when you bet on a Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap. Onto Day 2, and the 2026 Paddy Power Gold Cup!

Betting advice

14:20 Cheltenham - O’Moore Park - @ 14/1 (4 places) - 1pt each way

£50 in free bets for new Betfred customers!

At the time of writing, the best horse racing odds for O’Moore Park are 14/1 and one of the bookmakers offering this fantastic price is Betfred. The value doesn’t end there with Betfred though, new customers have access to an awesome welcome offer. If you bet £10, you’ll get £50 in free bets. The weekend is here, make sure you don’t miss out on this fantastic deal.

O’Moore Park can strike again!

Last month I tipped O’Moore Park to win at The Showcase Meeting here at Cheltenham. I advised him at 22/1, he went off at 25/1, and he won! He owes us nothing after that, but I think he can win again.

O’Moore Park has exceptional course form

Until the summer, O’Moore Park was under the care of Willie Mullins. During that time, he produced three fantastic performances here at Cheltenham. He was third in the 2025 Jack Richards Novices’ Handicap Chase off 140, second in the Silver Trophy off 140. His final race for Willie was the Plate Handicap Chase off a mark of 141, where he placed sixth.

O’Moore Park has plenty of fantastic Cheltenham form in the book, including two Cheltenham Festival runs in 2025 and 2026. That’s why I couldn’t believe his price last month, especially as Martin Keighley likes to target the October meeting. His win last month was off a mark of 134, and somewhat unbelievably, that was also his first win over fences, at the fifteenth time of asking. That in itself, shows how well Willie campaigned him.

O’Moore Park’s jockey booking could be the key to success

It was undoubtedly an awesome ride from Sean Bowen, with his usual ‘never say die’ attitude and a strong driving finish. That’s not taking anything away from the horse, he performed exceptionally well too. Despite that emphatic win, the handicapper has only raised him 4lb, to 138, which I feel is on the lenient side.

Freddie Keighley made a wrong call last time. He was riding De Temps En Temps in the same race that O’Moore Park won, finishing in third. However, Freddie takes the ride for the Paddy Power Gold Cup, and claims 5lb, which could prove to be crucial. With the handicapper only raising O’Moore Park 4lb, and Freddie taking 5lb off, O’Moore Park is actually 1lb better off than when he won here last month.

O’Moore Park will enjoy the quicker ground conditions

There was some significant backlash at Cheltenham yesterday, with most of the criticism aimed at the Clerk Of The Course, John Pullin. This was largely in relation to the going description, which was officially Good, Good to Soft in places. However, horses were slipping round the bend, and in one interview, Sean Bowen said the track was riding more like Good, Good to Firm in places.

This is an ongoing concern, especially as Cheltenham may struggle to apply further water due to the freezing temperatures forecast overnight. As I write this on Friday evening, there are already non-runners and suggestions that certain horses will be pulled out due to the ground. However, one horse that won’t mind the faster conditions is O’Moore Park. He is a very versatile horse with wins on all types of going from Good to Heavy.

Can O’Moore Park produce back to back victories?

As you can see, it’s easy to make a case for O’Moore Park in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. His course form is very strong, and in my opinion, the handicapper has been very kind. Despite winning at the Cheltenham meeting in October, he is rated lower than his strongest course form. When you also factor in that Freddie Keighley’s 5lb Claim takes more weight off than the handicapper put on, he must have a great chance.

Playing devil’s advocate, O’Moore Park’s strike rate must be taken into account. He has only recorded two wins from 22 starts under Rules, and just one win from 15 starts over fences. As such, he needs to prove he can back up his performance here last time out. Personally I don’t see it as too big an issue, as he has often run fantastic races in defeat. The only other concern is that Sean Bowen won’t be riding, but hopefully Freddie Keighley can step up to the plate and deliver.

All things taken into consideration, I believe that O’Moore Park is underestimated at 14/1, and he is certainly worth an each way bet. There’s only a handful of horses that can beat him, and for me, he stands out as a potential winner at a very appealing price. Given the value in O’Moore Park’s price, and the fact that I think the handicapper has been too lenient, it’s a full 1pt each way for me.
