County Hurdle Tips: Olofi

A fine second in the Greatwood at Cheltenham. One of several good runs in hot handicaps. Will enjoy the strong gallop.

Olofi loves it round Cheltenham and should put up a good display in the County Hurdle at 2.05. In five visits to the track, he has won once and placed on two other occasions.

Most recently, he finished 2.5 lengths behind Brampour, a horse who is now rated 161 and finished 7th in the Champion Hurdle. Off a mark of 136, Olofi looks well-handicapped.

He didn’t get the end-to-end gallop he enjoys at Newbury on his last start, but still finished a close 5th in hot company. He can be tricky as he needs to come off a strong pace, but the calvary charge of the County Hurdle should play into his hands.

He deserves to get his head in front after running well this season and at 14/1 (Bet365) he offers a good value bet. Back him each way with ¼ odds for a top-five finish.
