Joe Tizzard Cheltenham Blog | Friday & Saturday
23 Oct 2025
Check out Joe Tizzard's exclusive preview as the Coral Racing Club trainer sends four runners to feature at Cheltenham's Showcase Meeting this weekend across Friday and Saturday.
16:10 Cheltenham (Friday) – Etna Bianco
When the Coral Racing Club members came to the yard recently, this was one of the horses to follow for the season I gave them, so it goes without saying he’s a young horse I really like. We gave a lot of money for him after he won his point-to-point, and his third in a Kempton Bumper has worked out well.
My horses will always improve for a run at this early stage of the season, so he won’t be fully revved up for this, but this will be run on lovely ground, we can ride him as if it’s his debut, give him a nice education, and if he’s good enough to get involved, then we’ll go for it. I can certainly see him finishing in the first three or four this time, and then he’ll go somewhere for his second hurdles run and have a great chance of winning.

13:10 Cheltenham (Saturday) – Rightsotom
Rightsotom ran well at Cheltenham on his last run last season, and over hurdles you’d give him a chance here. He has schooled nicely over fences though, so as long as he jumps like that on his chasing debut, and travels well, he has got plenty of ability. It looks a lovely race to start him off, I wouldn’t be running him at Cheltenham if I wasn’t happy with his jumping, but again, he’ll improve plenty for the run.
13:45 Cheltenham (Saturday) – Kasino Des Mottes
This one is similar to Etna Bianco in that we bought him after he won his point-to-point, and he should learn plenty here. We’ll look to give him a nice spin round, and if he could nick some prize money, we’d be delighted.
14:20 Cheltenham (Saturday) – Rock My Way
I had The Changing Man in here also, but we’ll save him for Ascot next week as I thought he’d benefit from an extra week. Rock My Way is in good form at home, this is a £100,000 18-runner handicap so obviously it’s not easy, but he looks magnificent and he loves Cheltenham.
He will improve for the run, but I have done plenty with him and I hope he’ll be among the favourites at a track he loves. He’s certainly my best chance over the two days here at Cheltenham.
