And as per usual, we have some of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.ie\/horse-racing\/\">horse racing betting<\/a> odds available right here at NetBet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, here are our <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.ie\/\">sports betting<\/a> picks for the weekend ahead, including a bet on the featured Badger Beer Chase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by Jake Wilkes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>*All odds are subject to change<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Aintree 2:40 | 0.5 PTS EW &#8211; King Turgeon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">King Turgeon\u2019s season derailed slightly during the spring, but he was prolific in the winter months, winning last year&#8217;s renewal before going onto win a handicap at Cheltenham\u2019s December meeting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His connections were hoping he\u2019d be a Grand National horse at the end of the season, but he is only seven and they can re-ignite the flame this weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Race fitness is to be proved, but that is the case with most, and he ran well off 2 lbs lower back in January.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he\u2019s fully tuned up, a big run could be on the cards here.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wincanton 2:23 | 2 PT WIN &#8211; Blueking d\u2019Oroux<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He may have been beaten on chase debut, but that shouldn\u2019t be a true reflection of how talented this horse is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have no doubts he would have improved massively for the run, and his rival who beat him is a good yardstick from the Skeltons who regularly runs well in valuable races.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None of the rivals here are of his calibre and with improvement likely, he should prove hard to beat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irish raider Cobra Queen could be a danger if he continues to progress, but it is yet to be seen whether he is graded quality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should be pretty straightforward for Blueking d\u2019Oroux.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wincanton 3:30 | 1 PT WIN &#8211; Art Of Diplomacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year\u2019s running of the Badger Beer is slightly below par, with many of the field coming into the race with a lot to prove.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art Of Diplomacy has excelled this season, and had it not been for a final flight fall, he looked likely to record his sixth win of the campaign last time out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that\u2019s not left his mark, he can continue his upward curve here, and represents a safer option than most of the field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Threeunderthrufive hasn\u2019t really completed in the last two, whilst Gustavian\u2019s jumping often lets him down and Scarface must produce a career best off a mark of 136.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be a fantastic end to the season for Art Of Diplomacy.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Wincanton 1:45 | 1 PT WIN &#8211; Jubilee Alpha<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am still firmly of the opinion that Jubilee Alpha is a graded mare, and if so, she should be dealing with her rivals in this class 2 contest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She won a listed race at Taunton, before winning a novice and running respectable in the Mares Novice Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If she is fit for her seasonal debut, she will beat this field and top weight shouldn\u2019t be an issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will be the furthest she has raced by a furlong, and the extra distance should prove beneficial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of these rivals will only see the festival when they\u2019re driving through Gloucestershire, and her class should see her through this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
