13:20 Cheltenham Novices Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (4/6 +100%) Kopek Des Bordes	0.666667 4/6(+100%)	(5) Kopek Des Bordes 4/6, Easy winner of only start in bumpers last term and built on hurdles debut success in no uncertain terms when a striking winner of Grade 1 Brave Inca at Leopardstown (2m) 37 days ago, travelling powerfully with his jumping much more assured. Outstanding prospect and the one to beat. Hood on. Impressive in Leopardstown Grade 1 event that regularly throws up winners at this meeting.
11 2nd (11) (8/1 +11%) William Munny	8 8/1(+11%)	(11) William Munny 8/1, Westerner gelding who displayed very useful form in bumpers and sound start over hurdles this winter, runner-up in pair of maidens prior to opening his account with ease in listed novice at Punchestown (2m) 19 days ago. Definite place candidate for stable who took this 2 years ago. Hood on. Registered an effortless Listed win at Punchestown last month; peaking at the right time.
6 3rd (6) (9/2 +31%) Romeo Coolio	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(6) Romeo Coolio 9/2, Runner-up in last season's Champion Bumper and has looked every inch a smart prospect in this discipline, bolstering his position near the top of the betting for this when a clear-cut winner of Leopardstown Grade 1 (2m) over Christmas. Definite claims with prospect of plenty more to come. Bagged a Grade 1 prize when last seen; second in the 2024 Champion Bumper; solid claims.
4 4th (4) (33/1 +18%) Karniquet	33 33/1(+18%)	(4) Karniquet 33/1, Ex-French recruit who made perfect start for current connections when forging clear in a Tramore maiden in November. Next run best excused and quickly back on the up when 13 lengths second behind stablemate Kopek des Bordes 37 days ago. However, hard to envisage him turning the tables. Hood on. No match for stablemate Kopek Des Bordes in latest outing; now wears a hood.
7 5th (7) (14/1 -27%) Salvator Mundi	14 14/1(-27%)	(7) Salvator Mundi 14/1, Promising effort on just second career start when midfield in last season's Triumph Hurdle before easily landing cramped odds in a Tipperary maiden (2m) in May. Got the job done without entirely convincing on return in Grade 2 Moscow Flyer in January but he remains an exciting prospect. Second to Sir Gino in sole French run; 2-2 this season and could well rate higher still.
10 6th (10) (125/1 -25%) Tutti Quanti	125 125/1(-25%)	(10) Tutti Quanti 125/1, Runner-up both starts over hurdles last season and improved when going one better in 12-runner novice at Ffos Las (15.8f) in November. Similar form under a penalty when runner-up at Newbury (16.3f) 31 days ago but it's hard to envisage him getting involved here. One of only two British runners; proving consistent but this looks a tough task.
2 7th (2) (25/1 -79%) Irancy	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Irancy 25/1, 2021 bumper winner in France who chased home Firefox/Ballyburn on his belated return/hurdles debut last winter. Absent again prior to registering a smooth success from the front in a Punchestown maiden (15.5f) in November and he's an each-way player for his all-conquering yard. Very lightly raced 7yo; impressive at Punchestown four months ago; potentially smart.
8 8th (8) (50/1 +24%) Sky Lord	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Sky Lord 50/1, Left debut form behind when runner-up in a Fairyhouse bumper on stable debut last February and perfect start in this sphere when easy winner of a Cork maiden (15.6f) in December. Similar form when fourth behind Salvator Mundi in Gr. 2 company in January and much more needed if he's to figure. No excuses in Grade 2 at Punchestown where he finished behind Salvator Mundi.
1 9th (1) (80/1 -60%) Funiculi Funicula	80 80/1(-60%)	(1) Funiculi Funicula 80/1, Runner-up only start in France in 2023 and looked a very useful prospect starting out for new yard after 15 months off when a ready winner of a Clonmel maiden (17f) in January. Clearly needs to pull out plenty more now sights are raised but he's one of a host of promising ones here for the yard. Won comfortably at Clonmel; now goes into much deeper waters but is highly unexposed.
3 10th (3) (40/1 -43%) Karbau	40 40/1(-43%)	(3) Karbau 40/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in French bumpers. All the better for yard/hurdles debut run at Naas in December when an authoritative winner (backed up by the timefigure) of a Punchestown maiden (2m) 6 weeks ago and he's well worth his place in this company. Looked good last time; related to a dual Cheltenham Festival winner for his yard.
12 11th (12) (15/2 +6%) Workahead	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(12) Workahead 15/2, Won sole outing in points and confirmed hurdles debut promise when making all in 17-runner Leopardstown maiden (2m) on Boxing Day, proving 7 lengths too good for William Munny. That was an impressive display (including his jumping) and respected for last year's winning stable. Represents last year's winning yard and is a promising sort who comes here fresh.

13:20 Cheltenham Novices Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Kopek Des Bordes marked himself down as a novice hurdler to be reckoned with when bolting up over 2m in a Leopardstown Grade 1 last month, and he must be respected bidding to get favourite backers off to a flyer. That said, this doesn't look like the penalty kick that his forecast odds would suggest and WILLIAM MUNNY is narrowly preferred. The seven-year-old finished runner-up on his first two starts over hurdles, when not perfect in the jumping department, but he put in a much more professional round en route to hacking up in a Listed hurdle over 2m at Punchestown most recently. With the promise of more to come from this progressive sort, he gets the nod. Workahead, who had the selection in second when scoring last time out, also enters calculations, along with Romeo Coolio.

KOPEK DES BORDES stepped forward as expected from his hurdles debut success and looked something out of the ordinary in the process when a striking winner in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown in February. Open to further progress, he's fancied to provide the all-conquering Mullins' yard with their third victory in the curtain raiser since 2019. Romeo Coolio was similarly impressive when taking Grade 1 honours in December and he's feared most. Workahead and William Munny complete the shortlist.

Kopek Des Bordes is the one to beat but there are several plausible each-way alternatives, notably WILLIAM MUNNY and Workahead.

14:00 Cheltenham Maiden Chase (Class 1) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (16/1 +0%) Touch Me Not	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Touch Me Not 16/1, Only a maiden win as a hurdler but has quickly developed into a smart chaser, winning a Grade 2 at Punchestown. Good second in Grade 1s at Sandown (to L'Eau Du Sud) and Leopardstown (9 lengths behind Majborough) since. Ought to give his running but his old rivals are likely to be too strong. Runner-up to L'Eau du Sud and Majborough this winter; others more likely for win purposes.
1 1st (1) (5/1 +33%) Jango Baie	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Jango Baie 5/1, Smart novice hurdler last season and has quickly made up into an even better chaser, winning a 20.5f course novice on first attempt before going down only narrowly to Handstands in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles at Sandown (2½m) 38 days ago. Travels well enough to think he can cope with this shorter trip. Won here in December and edged out at Sandown; interesting dropping from 2m4f to 2m.
5 2nd (5) (25/1 -108%) Only By Night	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Only By Night 25/1, Has made a fine start to her chasing career, landing a Cork Grade 2 and extending her unbeaten record in this sphere to 3 when landing the odds in an Exeter listed race last month. Looks capable of even better. Progressive mare; Listed winner at Exeter, jumping well; in much deeper here.
3 3rd (3) (1/2 +13%) Majborough	0.5 1/2(+13%)	(3) Majborough 1/2, Last year's Triumph winner who has made a seamless transition to fences, seeing off a couple of smart stablemates in a Fairyhouse maiden before proving 9 lengths too strong for Touch Me Not in the Irish Arkle at the Dublin Racing Festival. Hard to beat with further progress likely. Beaten just once; odd mistake when winning Irish Arkle; that's the strongest piece of form.
2 4th (2) (9/2 0%) L'eau Du Sud	4.5 9/2(0%)	(2) L'eau Du Sud 9/2, Really exciting novice chaser who took the step up to Grade 1 level in his stride at Sandown (2m, soft; Touch Me Not second) in December and stretched his unbeaten record over fences when giving weight and a beating to subsequent Grade 2 winner Rubaud in the Kingmaker at Warwick. 4-4 over fences; reliable and tactically versatile; may not have reached his ceiling yet.

14:00 Cheltenham Maiden Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The absence of Sir Gino leaves a big hole that may well be filled by MAJBOROUGH. Willie Mullins wasted little time in sending the five-year-old over fences after his Triumph success last year, with impressive victories at Fairyhouse and in the Irish Arkle. His jumping was slightly ponderous on the latter occasion but that should be ironed out, especially with some more experience under his belt. L'eau Du Sud brings an unbeaten record over fences to the table having been particularly strong over C&D in November. The seven-year-old has also looked more the finished article, displaying a tough attitude in the Henry VIII at Sandown on testing ground before beating the subsequent Pendil winner Rubaud at Warwick. Nicky Henderson is still represented by Jango Baie following his runner-up effort in the Scilly Isles and the fact he stays further isn't a negative to his chances.

Last year's Triumph winner MAJBOROUGH could hardly have been more impressive in his 2 chase starts this winter (had 9 lengths to spare over Touch Me Not in a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival latterly) and can make it a perfect 3-3 over fences. L'Eau du Sud is 4-4 over the larger obstacles himself, including a Grade 1 success, and is the obvious danger.

Last year's Triumph winner Majborough is respected but L'EAU DU SUD has jumped more fluently and looks a very solid alternative.

14:40 Cheltenham Handicap Chase (Class 1) 25f - 24 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
24 (24) (33/1 +34%) Straw Fan Jack	33 33/1(+34%)	(24) Straw Fan Jack 33/1, Smart form as a novice and standout effort of an otherwise low-key campaign last season was his fine third (off 6 lb higher) in the 20.6f Plate at this meeting. Has struggled in 4 subsequent starts, though. Third in the Plate last March but this 10yo has struggled on his three runs this season.
23 1st (23) (13/2 +64%) Myretown	6.5 13/2(+64%)	(23) Myretown 13/2, Irish point winner. Winning hurdler but built for chasing and stepped up on chase bow/return when comfortable winner of 3-runner handicap at Wetherby. None the worse for Windsor fall when making all at Kelso latest. This is a big test for a lightly-raced novice but remains with potential. Has won last two completed starts; those were in small fields but he impressed in both.
13 2nd (13) (7/1 -8%) The Changing Man	7 7/1(-8%)	(13) The Changing Man 7/1, Runner-up in 3 premier handicaps this season before finally off the mark in this sphere in an uncompetitive 4-runner Grade 2 novice at Ascot last month. Should be in the mix once more. Admirably consistent in h'caps prior to Grade 2 novice win at Ascot; very much respected.
12 3rd (12) (14/1 +0%) Malina Girl	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Malina Girl 14/1, Useful chaser who struggled to recapture her best since falling here last winter. However, she took a big step back in the right direction when second of 5 in listed mares chase at Exeter last time so she's no forlorn hope. Ran well last time and it's possible the return to Cheltenham will be a major boost.
14 4th (14) (28/1 -12%) Happygolucky	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) Happygolucky 28/1, Took very well to fences in 2020/21, second in this (off 7 lb higher) prior to winning Grade 3 handicap at Aintree. Generally struggled in a handful of runs since, though at least showed something to work on returning from almost 2 years off when fifth on yard debut here in January. 11yo; fair run here in January back from long absence and he's well treated on old form.
22 5th (22) (11/1 +31%) The Short Go	11 11/1(+31%)	(22) The Short Go 11/1, Sent off second favourite for the Troytown at Navan (on the back of an excellent in C&D handicap) only to unseat rider at the 12th when yet to be asked for his effort. Kept fresh for this and no surprise to see him go well. Irish raider; runner-up over C&D in October on good going; the drier the ground the better.
10 6th (10) (18/1 +10%) Famous Bridge	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Famous Bridge 18/1, Dual winner at Haydock last term and jumping was sharpened up by the fitting of first-time headgear when resuming winning ways in Grand National Trial there last month. Respectable fourth in this last year so not taken lightly. Won Haydock Grand National Trial and is unexposed in the retained cheekpieces; interesting.
7 7th (7) (33/1 -65%) Search For Glory	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Search For Glory 33/1, Made successful chase debut at Galway in October. Unlucky not to follow up in Grade 2 at Punchestown next time before good third in Grade 1 at Limerick. Proved a let-down switched to a handicap at Leopardstown since, his jumping put under pressure. Others more persuasive. Disappointing last time but this novice looked good previously; from a top Irish stable.
8 8th (8) (12/1 -9%) Henry's Friend	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Henry's Friend 12/1, Recorded a hat-trick in novice chases last season, including a Grade 2 at Ascot. Pulled up in National Hunt Chase at this meeting a year ago but looked better than ever when resuming winning ways at Newbury over Christmas. One to consider. Won by 6l at Newbury in December and this progressive 8yo could still have more to offer.
17 9th (17) (11/1 -10%) Crebilly	11 11/1(-10%)	(17) Crebilly 11/1, Did well over fences last term, his highlight coming when a fine second in Plate Handicap off 2 lb higher at this meeting. Efforts this season suggest he's been building up to this so big run expected. Stayed on well for 2nd in the Plate (extended 2m4f) 12 months ago; now 2lb lower; chance.
4 \|F\| (4) (25/1 +50%) Zanahiyr	25 25/1(+50%)	(4) Zanahiyr 25/1, Smart hurdler and similar merit in chases. Decent fourth in the Golden Miller at this meeting last year and ran well on handicap bow when third in Galway Plate. However, has struggled with his jumping since so easy enough to pass over. 3rd in 2023 Champion Hurdle; not hit same heights over fences, nor convinced with jumping.
21 \|F\| (21) (50/1 +24%) Guard Your Dreams	50 50/1(+24%)	(21) Guard Your Dreams 50/1, Smart hurdler at his best and made a successful return/chase debut in novices' handicap at Warwick. Has remained in form without building on that success so needs 1st time tongue strap to bring about some improvement. Fair fourth in 2m4f handicap chase here in December but two lesser runs have followed.
9 10th (9) (16/1 +0%) Sequestered	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Sequestered 16/1, Dual hurdles winner who came good over fences when making a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Leopardstown over Christmas. Improved further when runner-up in Grade 3 handicap there since, again travelling strongly, and must be respected. Improvement in Ireland the last twice; this progressive 7yo may have more left in the tank.
5 11th (5) (25/1 +38%) Stay Away Fay	25 25/1(+38%)	(5) Stay Away Fay 25/1, Won Albert Bartlett in 2023. Better form over fences last term, winning twice, but pulled up last 3 starts, including back over hurdles (following a second breathing operation) on return over Christmas. Plenty to prove now. Pulled up on last 3 starts but various excuses; promising start to chase career last term.
16 12th (16) (25/1 +38%) Grandeur D'ame	25 25/1(+38%)	(16) Grandeur D'ame 25/1, Enhanced good record fresh when scoring at Chepstow on return. Better effort in premier handicaps here since when excellent close second last time, though winner did plenty wrong. Step up in trip could suit. Short-headed over about 2m5f here last time; stamina to prove but related to stayers.
18 \|PU\| (18) (7/1 +18%) Katate Dori	7 7/1(+18%)	(18) Katate Dori 7/1, Much improved sent chasing this season, winning 3 of his 4 starts, notably when most impressive in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Kempton 17 days ago. Big hike in the weights is totally justified (12 lb higher) and big shout if this doesn't come too soon. Made it 3-4 over fences with romp at Kempton last time; a 12lb hike may not stop him.
3 \|PU\| (3) (11/1 -47%) Broadway Boy	11 11/1(-47%)	(3) Broadway Boy 11/1, Three wins in a productive novice chase campaign, including a valuable staying handicap here. Better for return when excellent second in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury but fluffed his lines back here on New Year's Day. Worth another chance. Fine second at Newbury two starts ago and he's effective here; in the mix if back on song.
19 \|PU\| (19) (12/1 -9%) Whistle Stop Tour	12 12/1(-9%)	(19) Whistle Stop Tour 12/1, Dual hurdles winner last season and this Irish point scorer is progressing very nicely over fences, supplementing his Kelso success in fine style at Ayr. Drop back in trip against him here since. This is a big test for a lightly-raced novice but his limit has probably not been reached yet. 7yo who retains potential now up in trip for trainer who won this in 2022 and 2023.
15 \|PU\| (15) (22/1 -22%) King Turgeon	22 22/1(-22%)	(15) King Turgeon 22/1, Has taken his form to a new level this season, winning first 3 starts of the campaign, including the Grand Sefton at Aintree and a valuable pot here (26f). Seemed to sulk when ridden with more restraint than usual upped in trip at Musselburgh 5 weeks ago so big field may not suit. Struggling early last time (pulled up); progressive season otherwise, including a win here.
6 \|PU\| (6) (22/1 -10%) Victtorino	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Victtorino 22/1, Progressive chaser who enhanced his excellent record around at Ascot when winning a couple of premier handicaps last 2 starts. However, Cheltenham hasn't quite looked his thing in 2 tries so far (pulled up in this last year). Ascot specialist; has struggled here previously, but progressive and dangerous to rule out.
1 \|PU\| (1) (25/1 +0%) Trelawne	25 25/1(+0%)	(1) Trelawne 25/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who was sent off favourite (off 8 lb lower) when let down by jumping in this race last year. Returned with success in class 2 at Haydock in November and backed that up with a couple of decent efforts in premier handicaps since. Others look better treated now, though. Reappeared with graduation win; fair h'cap efforts the next twice; needs something extra.
11 \|PU\| (11) (40/1 +0%) Richmond Lake	40 40/1(+0%)	(11) Richmond Lake 40/1, Yet to score this term but deserves plenty of credit for his consistency this season, yet to finish out of the frame from this mark. Likely to find this too competitive, however. Running well in defeat this term; bumped into rejuvenated winner last time; each-way shout.
20 \|PU\| (20) (50/1 +0%) Frero Banbou	50 50/1(+0%)	(20) Frero Banbou 50/1, Took advantage of reduced mark in Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle (by 1¼ lengths from The Changing Man), jumping well over the longest trip he's faced. Beaten only by an unexposed one at Kempton next time but well held in Great Yorkshire at Doncaster since. 10yo who was below par latest but in good form over staying trips previously; e-w possible.
2 \|PU\| (2) (80/1 -21%) Farouk D'alene	80 80/1(-21%)	(2) Farouk D'alene 80/1, Successful over fences as a novice, including Grade 2 in early 2022. Hasn't convinced with his jumping in this sphere since, however, pulled up in Grand National when last seen in April (sold from Gordon Elliott £8,500 soon after). Headgear/tongue strap applied. Smart in his prime but pulled up on final 2 runs for Gordon Elliott; sold for £8,500 since.

14:40 Cheltenham Handicap Chase (Class 1) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

WHISTLE STOP TOUR represents the Derek Fox and Lucinda Russell combination who took this event with the Grand National hero Corach Rambler in 2022 and 2023. The seven-year-old struck in good fashion over 3m at Ayr prior to not being at his best when dropped in trip at this venue last time. Therefore, this step back up in distance and 1lb lower rating might see him improve on only his fifth chase start. The Changing Man made a mockery of the field in the Reynoldstown at Ascot last month and is likely to have plenty of supporters now that he drops back into a handicap off a possibly lenient mark. Although, he might suffer from a contested lead from Broadway Boy and Henry's Friend, who both merit second looks.

One of the few races Britain has dominated, and they appear to hold the upper hand once again with the thriving KATATE DORI leading the charge for the home team. He continued his remarkable progress when routing his rivals in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Kempton and looks capable of defying a 12 lb rise if that big effort hasn't taken the edge off him. This has likely been the target for Crebilly after his fine second in the Plate last year, while Sequestered looks the pick of the Irish.

Whistle Stop Tour is feared but preference is for his stablemate MYRETOWN (nap), who could be nicely ahead of the handicapper.

15:20 Cheltenham Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (4/6 +0%) Lossiemouth	0.666667 4/6(+0%)	(9) Lossiemouth 4/6, Easy winner of this and a Punchestown Grade 1 last term and showed all her class when winning Gr. 1 Hatton's Grace on return in December. No match for Constitution Hill at Kempton but still going with plenty of zest when falling in Irish Champion 37 days ago. Tough to beat back against her own sex. Ready winner of this last year; again hard to beat if none the worse for heavy fall latest.
4 2nd (4) (5/1 -11%) Jade De Grugy	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Jade De Grugy 5/1, Finished fourth behind Golden Ace in the mares' novice here 12 months ago but unbeaten otherwise, and her reappearance success in Gr 3 Quevega Hurdle at Punchestown (20.1f) 19 days ago was her best effort yet. Very much appeals as the chief threat to Lossiemouth with further progress anticipated. Improved again to win Grade 3 on return; more to come and the chief threat to Lossiemouth.
11 3rd (11) (22/1 +0%) Take No Chances	22 22/1(+0%)	(11) Take No Chances 22/1, Useful mare who bagged a 2m Wetherby listed race at the beginning of November. Found the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth at Newcastle too hot but quickly back to best, proving willing when resuming winning ways in Mares' Grade 2 at Ascot in January. Minor honours probably best she can hope for here, though. Saw off Kargese in Ascot Grade 2 latest but probably no more than a place contender.
5 4th (5) (33/1 +0%) Jetara	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Jetara 33/1, Useful mare who has won 3 times on Flat/over hurdles since the autumn, returning to her best equipped with first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when narrowly landing mares' Grade 2 at Doncaster (24.4f) 45 days ago. This clearly tougher but not without an each-way squeak. Behind July Flower over Christmas but back on song in cheekpieces with Grade 2 win latest.
7 5th (7) (8/1 +33%) July Flower	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) July Flower 8/1, 6-y-o mare who reached a useful level over hurdles in France (placed in Gr. 1) and perfect start for new yard/after 8 months off when taking Leopardstown Grade 3 (19.8f) in December, her stamina shining through in a strongly-run race. Each-way player back up in class. Saw off Kala Conti in Leopardstown Grade 3 in December; yard does well in this race.
6 6th (6) (12/1 +0%) Joyeuse	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Joyeuse 12/1, Half-sister to connections' Champion Hurdle winner Epatante who made a mockery of her opening mark when a mightily impressive winner of the hotly-contested William Hill Handicap at Newbury 31 days ago. Supplemented and while this is much tougher she's clearly very progressive. Impressive winner of valuable 2m handicap last month; definitely has better to come.
8 7th (8) (16/1 +0%) Kala Conti	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Kala Conti 16/1, Likeable mare who won 3 of her 5 starts as a novice and improved again this term, successful on return at Down Royal (16.9f) in November. Acquitted herself well in Grade 3 company both starts since, 4 lengths second to July Flower at Leopardstown in December. Still unexposed at this trip. Out of first two only once in eight runs but will need improvement to enhance that record.
2 8th (2) (28/1 +15%) Dysart Enos	28 28/1(+15%)	(2) Dysart Enos 28/1, Successful on each of her first 6 outings in bumpers/novice hurdles. Missed Spring Festivals last term but returned from 10 months off with a good third in Greatwood Hurdle here (16.4f) in November. Subdued display at Ascot a month later and this no easy assignment on first crack at this trip. Good third in Greatwood on return but seventh at Ascot since; stamina isn't assured.
10 9th (10) (66/1 -32%) Queens Gamble	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Queens Gamble 66/1, Likeable mare who won all 3 starts as a novice and resumed with a good second in Gerry Fielden at Newbury (16.3f) in November. Again ran well without the race getting to the bottom of her when sixth in big-field Leopardstown handicap last month but hard to envisage her playing a lead role here. Listed bumper/hurdle winner; fair efforts in handicaps this winter but this demands more.
3 \|F\| (3) (66/1 +0%) Gala Marceau	66 66/1(+0%)	(3) Gala Marceau 66/1, Smart mare who was runner up in the Triumph Hurdle 2 years ago. Had little go right when midfield in this race 12 months ago but no match for Lossiemouth at Punchestown in May and whilst she may come on for last month's Warwick return, others hold more pressing claims. Smart mare who should be sharper for reappearance but her yard has stronger contenders.

15:20 Cheltenham Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A hurdler out of the top drawer, LOSSIEMOUTH, who had the option of switching to the Champion Hurdle, bids to win this for the second time having returned the impressive victor 12 months ago. Wilie Mullins' mare found only Constitution Hill too good in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton in December, before suffering a rare mishap when falling at Leopardstown last month, and she can stamp her authority on this field. Stablemate Jade De Grugy landed a Grade 1 contest at Fairyhouse as a novice last year and should have plenty more to offer this season. She returned to action with a convincing success in Grade 3 company at Punchestown, while July Flower returned to Henry De Bromhead's yard with a Grade 3 victory at Leopardstown and she seems sure to give another good account of herself. Nicky Henderson takes on the Irish raiders with Joyeuse, who won a competitive Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Newbury last month. The latter finished a promising runner-up here before that, when Take No Chances was a neck behind in third, and that pair are hard to separate.

Last year's heroine LOSSIEMOUTH hasn't had things go to plan following her taking reappearance success in the Hatton's Grace in December yet, re-routed here as opposed to a tilt at the Champion Hurdle, Willie Mullins' mare very much rates the one to beat. Stablemate Jade de Grugy was most impressive when successful on return in the Quevega Hurdle 19 days ago and she can pose the chief threat. Joyeuse and July Flower rate next best, with Kala Conti also making each-way appeal.

The late decision to run LOSSIEMOUTH in this rather than the Champion Hurdle makes her very much the one to beat, as it was last year.

16:00 Cheltenham Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (8/1 +6%) State Man	8 8/1(+6%)	(4) State Man 8/1, Top-class hurdler who took advantage of Constitution Hill's absence to win this last year. Beaten twice by Brighterdaysahead at the end of 2024 but looked back in form when winning the Irish Champion last time, although Lossiemouth's fall made his task a lot simpler. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Won a substandard edition of this race last year; no match for Constitution Hill in 2023.
7 1st (7) (25/1 +38%) Golden Ace	25 25/1(+38%)	(7) Golden Ace 25/1, Unbeaten in 4 novice hurdles last season, including the Dawn Run at this meeting (beat Brighterdaysahead). Reached the frame in Grade 2 events on first 2 outings this winter prior to proving ¾ length too strong for Burdett Road in Kingwell at Wincanton. Won last time but unlikely to repeat 2024 Cheltenham Festival win over Brighterdaysahead.
1 2nd (1) (66/1 -65%) Burdett Road	66 66/1(-65%)	(1) Burdett Road 66/1, Classy dual-purpose performer who won the Greatwood Handicap over C&D before a fine effort behind Constitution Hill in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton. Golden Ace also had a bit too much for him in the Kingwell at Wincanton since and he's surely playing for place money at best. Record of 2-2 over C&D includes Greatwood win; faces a stiffer task at this exalted level.
5 3rd (5) (150/1 +0%) Winter Fog	150 150/1(+0%)	(5) Winter Fog 150/1, Smart hurdler. Picked up the pieces for third behind State Man in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown last time and a similar outcome is almost certainly the best he can hope for. Highly unlikely to suddenly find the necessary improvement to win this prize aged 11.
6 4th (6) (5/2 -11%) Brighterdaysahead	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(6) Brighterdaysahead 5/2, Beaten at odds on in the Dawn Run at last year's Festival but that's her only defeat. Had State Man behind her when winning the Morgiana at Punchestown in November and Neville Hotels at Leopardstown over Christmas. The one likely to give Constitution Hill most to do. Scintillating performance at Leopardstown last time; highly talented and progressive mare.
3 5th (3) (200/1 -33%) King Of Kingsfield	200 200/1(-33%)	(3) King Of Kingsfield 200/1, Acted as a pacemaker for the same connections' Brighterdaysahead at Leopardstown in December and presumably here to perform the same role again. Again seems likely to take up pacemaking duties for stablemate Brighterdaysahead.
2 \|F\| (2) (1/2 +19%) Constitution Hill	0.5 1/2(+19%)	(2) Constitution Hill 1/2, Exceptional unbeaten hurdler who missed last year's Festival after a couple of setbacks but has confirmed he's still very much the one to beat in this division with wins this winter in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton and International here. Can regain his Champion Hurdle crown. Spectacular in the Supreme here in 2022 and this race in 2023; still unbeaten under rules.

16:00 Cheltenham Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

State Man was the one to benefit from the absence of the unbeaten CONSTITUTION HILL in last year's renewal, but Nicky Henderson's eight-year-old is back in a bid to regain his crown. The son of Blue Bresil is an eight-time Grade 1 winner, who took the Supreme here in 2022 before bolting up in the 2023 renewal of this prestigious prize. Despite a mistake at the last, he cantered home in the International over C&D in January to put him spot on for this assignment and it's hard to see his colours being lowered. If there are any chinks in his armour, then the one to take full advantage might be the exciting Brighterdaysahead, who was mightily impressive when beating State Man in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown in December. Gordon Elliott's mare looks the biggest danger to the favourite following that career-best effort and she may have more to offer.

CONSTITUTION HILL doesn't look quite as invincible as 2 years ago but is still very much the one to beat in this division and can fend off Brighterdaysahead, who was mightily impressive at Leopardstown when last seen over Christmas. Last year's winner State Man looks clear best of the rest.

The mare BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD is narrowly preferred in a pulsating clash with the 2023 Champion Hurdle winner Constitution Hill.

16:40 Cheltenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 22 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
16 (16) (33/1 +34%) Kool One	33 33/1(+34%)	(16) Kool One 33/1, Fair Flat winner placed all 3 starts in juvenile hurdles this year, taking a keen hold under this rider. Thrown in at the deep end for handicap debut. Three solid efforts this season and has the form to have some say in a race of this nature.
6 1st (6) (17/2 -6%) Puturhandstogether	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(6) Puturhandstogether 17/2, Fairly useful Flat winner who is improving nicely over hurdles, seeing off a couple of subsequent winners in big-field maiden at Cork before leaving the impression he had more to offer again at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago. Bound to be suited by this sort of test for yard that took this in 2024 and 2019. Needs to improve but a market mover this past week and trainer knows what's required.
8 2nd (8) (50/1 -52%) Robbies Rock	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Robbies Rock 50/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who landed a gamble on handicap debut at Cork in December under this rider. Struggled after a 14 lb rise in listed handicap at Limerick next time and not seen since. May not have reached his limit. Has won a handicap hurdle but this demands an almighty level of improvement.
13 3rd (13) (12/1 +40%) Liam Swagger	12 12/1(+40%)	(13) Liam Swagger 12/1, Tongue tie went on and another from the yard to thrive in juvenile hurdles, scoring at Market Rasen and Wetherby in the autumn, seeing off Static and Torrent in listed event second occasion. Didn't jump too great when turned over at odds on at Newbury next time but has won well on the level since. Recent Flat winner; unwise to knock latest defeat over hurdles; this race could suit him.
21 4th (21) (17/2 +39%) Hot Fuss	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(21) Hot Fuss 17/2, Chased home subsequent Cheltenham Grade 2 winner and Triumph fancy East India Dock on hurdle debut at Wincanton before making all at Sandown (2m). Stiff task at Chepstow next time and successful on the Flat last month (useful form). Good test at this trip will suit. Player in new headgear. His initial hurdle form reads well and forgiven final defeat; has since won on the Flat.
7 5th (7) (33/1 -32%) Slurricane	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Slurricane 33/1, Flat winner who was rewarded for his consistency with a first success over hurdles at Punchestown 6 weeks ago, though his job was made easier by Out For A Stroll pecking badly at the last (Total Look eye-catcher in third). Looks vulnerable in follow-up bid. Won a handicap last time; an uncomplicated gelding who shouldn't be passed over lightly.
1 6th (1) (33/1 -65%) Wendrock	33 33/1(-65%)	(1) Wendrock 33/1, Chased home Total Look and Beyond Your Dreams starting out over hurdles for new yard at Navan before landing 2m Leopardstown maiden over Christmas. Stiff task in Grade 1 next time and this looks more his level now handicapping. Only runner for top stable with a good record in the race. Struggled in a Grade 1 last time; still unexposed and will enjoy the likely drying ground.
20 7th (20) (50/1 -25%) Static	50 50/1(-25%)	(20) Static 50/1, Dual winner in claimers over hurdles in France and satisfactory-enough start in Britain in some of the leading juvenile races, albeit starting to feel the pinch and weakening out of the frame by the time he departed at Musselburgh last time. New yard. Useful juvenile hurdler but placed at best if he's lucky in this tough an assignment.
2 8th (2) (16/1 -33%) Murcia	16 16/1(-33%)	(2) Murcia 16/1, Signed off in France with victory in a listed event and much better effort on second start for Willie Mullins when just failing at Naas last month, doing her best work at the death. That race has a good record of producing the winner of this and she's got to be high on the shortlist. Unlucky not have won at Naas last time in a race that's been a great guide to this.
18 9th (18) (13/2 +7%) Beyond Your Dreams	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(18) Beyond Your Dreams 13/2, Fairly useful Flat winner and has made a bright start over hurdles, chasing home Total Look at Navan second start then opening account at Fairyhouse, losing ground at each of the last 2 but picking up well. Will need to jump better here but got to be respected in first-time cheekpieces. 1m4f Flat winner; progressing nicely over hurdles and trainer Joseph O'Brien targets this.
15 10th (15) (25/1 0%) Luker's Tipple	25 25/1(0%)	(15) Luker's Tipple 25/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who has made an encouraging debut in this sphere, runner-up at Punchestown and Cork and only a length down when falling at the last in listed Musselburgh event 5 weeks ago. Has the scope to progress further now handicapping. In contention when falling late on in a Listed race last month; still looks up against it.
10 11th (10) (28/1 -40%) Teriferma	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Teriferma 28/1, Has taken well to hurdling, successful twice for Joseph O'Brien last summer and dead-heating with Quantock Hills here on first run for new yard in December. Held behind Stencil and Torrent in Grade 2 back here since though and looks vulnerable in this line-up. Cheekpieces back on. Coming along nicely until struggling in a Grade 2 here; soft ground was a feasible excuse.
9 12th (9) (16/1 +20%) Quantock Hills	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Quantock Hills 16/1, Fairly useful winner in France and good start for this yard with victories at Fontwell and Cheltenham (dead-heated with Teriferma after mistake at the last). Held behind a few of these in the Triumph Trial back here in January but did look third best for most of the way. Wouldn't dismiss. Progressive until a below-par run here in a Grade 2 and he had excuses that day.
19 13th (19) (125/1 -89%) Moutarde	125 125/1(-89%)	(19) Moutarde 125/1, Fair Flat winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and started well over hurdles for this yard with victories at Kempton and Taunton. In the process of bouncing back when crashing out at the last in listed juvenile at Musselburgh 5 weeks ago but would be a surprising winner of this. It goes against the grain to trust one with his exposed profile in a race of this nature.
3 14th (3) (7/1 +56%) Sony Bill	7 7/1(+56%)	(3) Sony Bill 7/1, Dual winning hurdler in France who has run respectably in graded contests at Leopardstown for new yard. Others have more potential now but she has the tongue tie she wore across the Channel back on and anything from this yard can never be discounted. Lofty aspirations are shelved for now and Paul Townend takes over for handicap debut.
4 15th (4) (11/4 +50%) Stencil	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(4) Stencil 11/4, Useful hurdler successful at Compiegne in May and October and ran a cracker on first go on these shores in the Triumph Trial here in January, no match for East India Dock but well clear of Torrent in third and putting in a good round of jumping. This scenario will suit and he can go well. 2-3 in France; clear 2nd behind one of the Triumph favourites in Grade 2 here in January.
22 16th (22) (80/1 -60%) Lavender Hill Mob	80 80/1(-60%)	(22) Lavender Hill Mob 80/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who has shown similar form in this sphere, scoring at Warwick in January before a solid third at Haydock. Not so great at Huntingdon recently though and his jumping probably isn't good enough for this. Handicap debut. Taken backward steps the last twice and this is a tough race in which to bounce back.
5 17th (5) (11/1 -83%) Total Look	11 11/1(-83%)	(5) Total Look 11/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who has quickly matched that level over hurdles, successful at Navan and going close behind Quantock Hills and Teriferma here before catching the eye with a fast-finishing third behind Slurricane at Punchestown. Fitted with cheekpieces now and big run likely. Has course experience and he's better than he showed on heavy ground last time.
17 18th (17) (66/1 -32%) Mister Cessna	66 66/1(-32%)	(17) Mister Cessna 66/1, Fairly useful juvenile hurdle winner in France and back to that sort of level for this yard with sights lowered when second at Ludlow in re-fitted tongue tie. Goes handicapping now and may have a bit more in the locker. His Ludlow conqueror is going places but this gelding still isn't wildly appealing.
12 19th (12) (50/1 -79%) Turn And Finish	50 50/1(-79%)	(12) Turn And Finish 50/1, Several good runs in competitive races for Joseph O'Brien, including a second to Puturhandstogether at Cork, before he just got the job done for new yard at Catterick. Tongue tie/cheekpieces go on for handicap debut and he'll need to pull out more. Made a meal of justifying hot favouritism in a modest Catterick maiden last month.
14 20th (14) (33/1 +0%) Solar Drive	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Solar Drive 33/1, Fair Flat winner who took maiden at Ballinrobe in September and followed that up with good efforts from the front at Punchestown and Musselburgh. Will need a further step forward now handicapping. Doing well as a hurdler and will win more races, but this is unlikely to be one of them.
11 \|PU\| (11) (33/1 -32%) Holy See	33 33/1(-32%)	(11) Holy See 33/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France who gave a decent account of himself when in the frame on first 2 starts over hurdles. Not so good behind Murcia in the traditionally-informative Naas event last time but could do better now handicapping with cheekpieces tried. Respectable Flat form and a similar tale in his hurdling defeats; not exposed just yet.

16:40 Cheltenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Stencil has been very popular for this contest since his second to East India Dock here on trials day, when finishing well clear of the third, and the French challenger is expected to have more improvement to come. Total Look's jumping wasn't particularly fluent at Punchestown in January but he is likely to step forward with cheekpieces now applied. The vote, though, goes to PUTURHANDSTOGETHER, who Mark Walsh has chosen ahead of stable companion Beyond Your Dreams, having won on his second hurdles start at Cork before running against older horses when runner-up at Fairyhouse last month. Useful on the Flat last season, he has a fair amount of scope to progress further now sent handicapping over timber. The aforementioned Beyond Your Dreams is another key player, while Sony Bill, Quantock Hills and Liam Swagger are also noted.

PUTURHANDSTOGETHER left the firm impression we've yet to see the best of him when second at Fairyhouse and can give Joseph O'Brien a third win in 7 runnings. Amazingly for a race that has been dominated by Ireland it is one of the few this week to elude Willie Mullins but he has a strong contender in Murcia. Hot Fuss, Total Look, Beyond Your Dreams and Stencil also make the shortlist.

Stencil appears to have plenty going for him but QUANTOCK HILLS had valid excuses when behind the French raider here in January.

17:20 Cheltenham Handicap Chase (Class 2) 30f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
17 (17) (80/1 -21%) Caesar Rock	80 80/1(-21%)	(17) Caesar Rock 80/1, Boasts plenty of experience over fences but still a maiden and below form when a remote fourth in Thurles handicap when last seen in December. Others are more obvious. Four seconds in this sphere (at up to 3m) but his score over fences is now 0-19.
6 1st (6) (7/2 +22%) Haiti Couleurs	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(6) Haiti Couleurs 7/2, Won 25f handicap chases at Aintree and here (reopposing Transmission second) towards the end of 2024. Creditable third of 12 in Newbury handicap hurdle last month and open to further progress back chasing. Gets the vote. Second chase win was at Cheltenham (extended 3m1f, good to soft); can resume improvement.
12 2nd (12) (16/1 +76%) Rock My Way	16 16/1(+76%)	(12) Rock My Way 16/1, Useful chaser who won a 3m Doncaster novice handicap for Anthony Charlton in November. Ended his time with that stable with a below-form fourth at Newbury over Christmas but back on form for new yard when runner-up back at Doncaster (3m again) in January. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. Remote second of five on latest outing; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
11 3rd (11) (12/1 +0%) Will Do	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Will Do 12/1, Yet to win over fences but latest second of 17 in a strong Punchestown handicap (27f, soft) was a really good effort. The mount of Jack Kennedy from the yard's trio. Enters calculations. 0-6 over fences under rules; 2nd when upped to 3m3f at Punchestown (soft) last time though.
2 4th (2) (10/1 +17%) Resplendent Grey	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Resplendent Grey 10/1, Ended last season on the up over hurdles and perfect start to chase career when accounting for 5 rivals in a 2½m Uttoxeter handicap in October. Runner-up over 3m on next 2 starts and a drop back to 20.5f looked against him when fourth over 20.5f latest. This trip may suit him. Running creditably; needs to resume improvement; stayed on strongly over shorter trips.
9 5th (9) (7/2 +30%) Transmission	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(9) Transmission 7/2, Has taken well to fences here this season, including a 25f handicap win in November. Bettered that form when second to Haiti Couleurs in a novice handicap the following month. Stiff task back hurdling in the Grade 2 Cleeve in January but much better can be expected back chasing. Player. Has taken well to chasing over 3m+ at this track and looks a major contender over new trip.
7 6th (7) (33/1 0%) In D'or	33 33/1(0%)	(7) In D'or 33/1, French import who has improved for the switch to fences, scoring cosily in handicaps (around 3m) at Taunton and Ascot this winter. Improved again when 4 lengths third of 9 at Sandown (3m, heavy) last month but stamina isn't assured over this far. Sandown third in hat-trick bid but again ran well and staying beyond 3m may be possible.
14 7th (14) (20/1 +20%) Herakles Westwood	20 20/1(+20%)	(14) Herakles Westwood 20/1, Has taken well to fences, winning 3m novice handicaps scoring at Newbury in December and Windsor in January. Only a respectable third of 6 back at Newbury last month and will need to resume his progression to get heavily involved. Only struggled into third back at Newbury one month ago in his hat-trick bid over about 3m.
15 8th (15) (66/1 -32%) Klarc Kent	66 66/1(-32%)	(15) Klarc Kent 66/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Proved he stays well when good fourth in last year's Scottish Grand National at Ayr (4m) but he hasn't got near that level in 5 subsequent starts, the latest at Punchestown only 19 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to make a big difference. Disappointing since fourth in Scottish National (4m, soft) last April; headgear first time.
10 9th (10) (33/1 +0%) No Time To Wait	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) No Time To Wait 33/1, Bumper/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Improved effort over fences for new yard when length third in 3m Musselburgh handicap last month. First-time tongue tie worn on that occasion is retained. Up in trip. Close up on latest start when tongue tied first time and shaping like a stayer.
1 \|B\| (1) (50/1 -25%) Duffle Coat	50 50/1(-25%)	(1) Duffle Coat 50/1, Several solid efforts prior to opening chase account in a 3m listed handicap at Ballinrobe last May. Bettered that when a fine second in the Galway Plate. Off 4 months, went without usual cheekpieces (back now) when last of 4 over 20.5f at Ayr 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Won Mayo National (2m7f) last May; 2nd in the Galway Plate (extended 2m6f, good) in July.
5 \|F\| (5) (6/1 -50%) Now Is The Hour	6 6/1(-50%)	(5) Now Is The Hour 6/1, Yet to win over fences but translated his useful hurdle ability to the larger obstacles when 4 lengths fourth (Captain Cody third) in a strong Navan maiden (3m, soft) in January. Very interesting handicap newcomer for an Irish stable with a good Cheltenham record. Plenty of promise; highly interesting if effective on the likely very different ground.
8 \|F\| (8) (16/1 +0%) Hasthing	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Hasthing 16/1, Has taken very well to fences this winter, bagging a pair of handicaps at Windsor either side of Christmas. Proved himself at 3m when fourth in a valuable handicap at Ascot in February. Another 6f further to go now, though. Creditable, never-dangerous fourth on first go at 3m and highly likely to stay beyond that.
4 \|U\| (4) (12/1 -60%) Captain Cody	12 12/1(-60%)	(4) Captain Cody 12/1, Useful hurdle winner who has matched that form over fences this season, improving again when third (Now Is The Hour fourth) in a warm Navan maiden chase (3m, soft) last month. This increased stamina test promises to suit. On the shortlist. Stayed 3m well at Navan (soft) on latest chase start, retaking third from Now Is The Hour.
13 10th (13) (11/1 +0%) Gericault Roque	11 11/1(+0%)	(13) Gericault Roque 11/1, Second to Corach Rambler in Ultima at the 2022 Festival. Another good placed effort in a big handicap when third in Coral Cup at Newbury in November of that year. Not seen again until third of 6 at Windsor in January but it's an effort which suggests he retains most of his ability. Big-race places (they read well) before a long layoff; encouraging return in January.
18 11th (18) (25/1 +50%) Jupiter Allen	25 25/1(+50%)	(18) Jupiter Allen 25/1, Dual winner over hurdles and has also landed 2 chases wins this season, reacting well to cheekpieces (retained) when shading a close finish at Taunton (23f) last month. Up 4 lb in a significantly stronger race now. Game, front-running win in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, soft) on latest start.
16 \|PU\| (16) (16/1 +36%) Kyntara	16 16/1(+36%)	(16) Kyntara 16/1, Made up into a useful hurdler for this yard last term, winning twice and also second in Pertemps at this meeting. Better effort back over fences this time round when fourth of 6 in 3m Windsor handicap in January but has yet to really convince as a chaser. Jumps fences rather ponderously but he's well handicapped and likely to stay.
3 \|PU\| (3) (33/1 +0%) Stuzzikini	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Stuzzikini 33/1, Career best when winning the valuable Troytown at Navan (3m, good to soft) in November. Not in anything like the same form in the Thyestes at Gowran 2 months later but this longer distance should suit. Experienced chaser who stays 3m2f well and has won a major 3m handicap at Navan.

17:20 Cheltenham Handicap Chase (Class 2) 30f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

As is to be expected now the race is a handicap, this looks like a much more open renewal of the National Hunt Chase than in recent years, and while Ireland have dominated it of late, the prize could remain on British shores this time around. RESPLENDENT GREY has done little wrong since going chasing this season, and although his run here last time over 2m4f was slightly disappointing, his efforts prior to that over 3m suggested this longer trip should suit. He's fancied to give the Olly Murphy team a first Festival winner. Haiti Couleurs is another who shaped like he'd relish this marathon trip when finishing third over 3m at Newbury last time and he looks set to go well for Rebecca Curtis. Things haven't quite gone to plan for Kyntara since going chasing, but he looks very well handicapped on the best of his hurdles form and he could be capable of playing a part in the finish.

HAITI COULEURS created a good impression when proving too strong for Transmission (second choice) over 25f here in December. He warmed up for this with a good third over hurdles at Newbury and there should be more to come from him back over the larger obstacles. The shortlist is completed by Now Is The Hour and Captain Cody, who are closely matched on latest Navan maiden form and appeal as likely improvers now stepping up in trip for their handicap chase debuts.

Having shaped well at Cheltenham, TRANSMISSION can make a successful step up in trip. Lightly raced Now Is The Hour is feared most.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
