Friday's ITV Racing at Cheltenham highlights Ferocimo as the tip for the 3:30pm Hyde Novices' Hurdle, following a commanding debut victory at Fontwell and anticipated improvement in fitness. King's Bucks is selected for the 1:45pm Paddy Power Novices Chase after a promising chasing debut and strong trainer form. Triple Trade is the choice for the 2:55pm Veterans' Handicap Chase, supported by solid Cheltenham course form and a good record in similar handicaps. Each selection is based on recent performances and relevant conditions.

The ITV Racing team will be hoping for no Friday the 13th jinxes this week, as the November Meeting gets underway. ITV will be showing four of the six races live, including Jonbon's return to action in the Grade Two Shloer Chase.

Here are my best betting tips for Friday's ITV races.

ITV Racing Tips - Friday 13th November


1:45pm Cheltenham - Paddy Power Novices Chase Tips


I fancied KING'S BUCKS (3/1) when he lined up in the Albert Bartlett back in March. Henry de Bromhead's charge had run really well behind No Drama This End in the Hyde Novices' Hurdle at this meeting and was only touched off by a talented Willie Mullins horse, You Proof, on his third novice hurdle start.

Darragh O'Keeffe's mount underperformed massively at the Cheltenham Festival, failing to finish the Albert Bartlett, and King's Bucks was thrashed by He Can't Dance on his final outing over hurdles in April. De Bromhead's six-year-old was much better on his chasing debut at Galway in October and jumped into a narrow lead at the final fence, only to get run down by the classy Karl Des Tourelles on the long run to the line.

King's Bucks jumped very nicely that day, and this step back up in distance is sure to suit. De Bromhead's strike rate at the early-season Cheltenham meetings is very strong, and he's been having plenty of winners on home soil of late.

2:55pm Cheltenham - Veterans' Handicap Chase Tips


With the pace in this Veterans' Handicap likely to be hot, TRIPLE TRADE (9/2) will be played as late as possible by Harry Cobden.

Joe Tizzard's star is no stranger to success around Cheltenham, having won a strong two-mile handicap at the October Meeting last season. Triple Trade scored over two and a half miles for the first time at Sandown in January and proved his stamina again with a narrow victory at Market Rasen on his seasonal reappearance.

Tizzard's ten-year-old has won twice from three starts in these old-boy handicaps, having unseated his rider at the first on his only defeat. Cobden's mount remains on a winnable mark and boasts course form that the likes of Outlaw Peter and Thunder Rock don't have.

3:30pm Cheltenham - Hyde Novices' Hurdle Tips


The Twiston-Davies team and owners El Rincon will be hoping to see FEROCIMO (3/1) follow in the footsteps of Potters Charm, who bolted up in this Grade Two back in 2024.

Sam Twiston-Davies' mount looked a potential star when scoring on debut at Fontwell. Ferocimo travelled strongly behind the pacesetters before hitting the front at the second-last and powering 14 lengths clear of the runner-up without ever being asked a serious question.

Willy Twiston-Davies told the press that day that Ferocimo was nowhere near fully fit, and this was just a warm-up race before targeting the Hyde. I'm sure the team will have Ferocimo fully revved up for this assignment, and the strong pace that's likely to be set by Lock Stock should help this exuberant four-year-old settle.
