Module fits the bill in Cheltenham closer

Cheltenham’s card closes with a competitive handicap and if you allow your eyes drift across to the right for a moment you’ll notice that Ruby Walsh is very keen on the chances of Hinterland.

That’s understandable, given that the horse came from France with a big reputation and duly obliged on his British debut. He also has the benefit of a hefty four-year-olds’ allowance.

However, he was beaten on his second outing for Paul Nicholls and the evidence of both races suggests he is still very free-going and inexperienced. He may well justify favouritism this afternoon, but he’s quite short in the betting and there should be better value elsewhere.
