King’s best bets - 14th March 2026

Sam King is back with a couple of wagers on Saturday.

Cheltenham might be done and dusted for another twelve months but there is still plenty of decent action to get stuck into on Saturday.

Uttoxeter's Midlands Grand National looks like a tricky affair but there are a couple of bets to be had on the card, starting with It's Top in the JenningsBet 200 Shops Nationwide Handicap Hurdle (1.50).

The Oliver Signy-trained hurdler has progressed nicely over flights this season and looks potentially well-treated from the foot of the weights.

He steps into handicap company for the first time on the back of a snug win over hurdles at Carlisle, while the form of his Chepstow bumper success is rock-solid, with both the talented chaser Jordans Cross and David Pipe's Listed winner Kingston Queen in behind. 

Furthermore, the form of his thirteen-length second behind Sober Glory on his hurdling debut at Newbury looks all the better now that one has gone on to finish runner-up in the Grade 1 Supreme Novices' Hurdle earlier this week, plus the expected testing conditions at Uttoxeter ought to be in his favour given the manner in which he kept on well to strike at Carlisle last time.

It's Top – 0.5pt Each-way

Odds – 7/1

Dan Skelton enjoyed further Cheltenham Festival success last week and he looks to have found a nice opening for the progressive A Pai De Nom, who fully deserves his place at the top of the market in the JenningsBet Handicap Hurdle (2.25).

Four from six over hurdles, he found ground conditions too lively when third behind Iberico Lord in the Lanzarote Hurdle but that remained a solid effort, and it didn't take him long to regain the winning run when back on an easier surface at Newbury last time out.

It was tough not to be impressed with the way that he both travelled and jumped on that occasion and whilst the winning margin was only five lengths, he had any amount in hand crossing the line.

A 5lb rise in the weights could really underestimate his abilities and with ground conditions to suit once more, he can further enhance his already solid profile over hurdles.

A Pai De Nom – 2pt Win

Odds – 11/8
