13:35 Cheltenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A competitive race in which Gordon Elliott's race-fit Royal Eagle is likely to mount a bold hat-trick bid, while the progressive Black Poppy is also interesting on his first run since landing Haydock's valuable the Swinton Hurdle in May. For all that, the field is littered with likely improvers and, of that group, perhaps AFADIL is the most interesting having undergone a wind operation since scoring at Ayr on his last start.

This looks ultra-competitive as usual but ALFADIL does still rather stand out as a lightly-raced 4-y-o who should have more to come for his top yard on his reappearance after wind surgery. Our Champ won nicely on his first outing for Chris Gordon and could be capable of better again so he's second choice ahead of Coolnaugh Haze, another who has made a positive start for a new stable. Fergal O'Brien's good recent record in this also earns Glorious Zoff a place on the shortlist.

The fact that Paul Nicholls is prepared to pitch recent French recruit JETRONIC straight into a contest of this nature at the age of four suggests he is held in high regard and it wouldn't be a shock to see him make a winning stable debut having relished soft ground in his native country. That said, Irish raider My Mate Mozzie boasts a hurdles rating of 146 and shouldn't be written off despite an odds-on reverse on his chasing bow, while Al Zaraqaan already boasts four chase wins, albeit on better ground in weaker company.

A below-par renewal which can go the way of MY MATE MOZZIE, who showed enough to suggest he has a decent future in this sphere when finishing runner-up at Fairyhouse just under 3 weeks ago and now fitted with a first-time tongue strap, he looks good to go a place better. French-import Jetronic falls into the 'could be anything' category after making a winning chasing debut so he can chase the selection home on first start for Paul Nicholls.

My Mate Mozzie has a tendency to finish weakly and is opposed with four-time chase winner AL ZARAQAAN.

MEL MONROE is Gordon Elliott's sole representative from a host of pre-race entries and the mare could take some stopping in receipt of allowances after really catching the eye with an emphatic win in the mud at Downpatrick last time out in June. Irish compatriot Tag Man makes obvious appeal after defying a bad mistake to win comfortably at Listowel last month, while it will be interesting to see how the unexposed El Elefante goes now upped significantly in grade.

It's hard to know exactly what EL ELEFANTE achieved in scoring by a wide margin on her Perth hurdling debut, but she really impressed with how she powered clear in the straight and looks the type to go on to better things. Encanto Bruno proved a big let-down at Galway, but he was mightily impressive at Bellewstown prior to that, so can be given another chance, while Katate Dori is an interesting newcomer to this sphere for a yard that has started the autumn well.

It might pay to give another chance to ENCANTO BRUNO, who was seriously impressive when winning on his hurdling debut two starts ago.

A runner-up in the Grade 2 Leamington Novices' Hurdle on his penultimate start, GINNY'S DESTINY carries some useful form into the next phase of his career and could well make a winning start over fences on his debut run for the powerful Paul Nicholls yard. Hurricane Bay is another useful hurdler to bear in mind now switched to the larger obstacles, while Irish raider Railway Hurricane is also feared with ground conditions sure to suit.

GINNY'S DESTINY made up into a useful hurdler in a short space of time for Tom Lacey last term and now under the tutelage of Paul Nicholls is fancied to make a winning start over fences in a most intriguing novice handicap chase. Downtown Queen is feared most with experience on her side and rates the chief threat of the Irish-trained trio ahead of Moon Hunter, Passing Well and Atlanta Brave who all bring a fair bit of potential.

The bumper form shown by KAMSINAS is starting to work out well and, having registered a bloodless success on his debut over hurdles at Worcester 15 days ago, the Fergal O'Brien-trained six-year-old looks a novice to follow with interest at present. This is a good deal tougher and last-time-out winners Act Of Authority and Lookaway both command respect despite stepping up in class. The hat-trick chasing Enthused is also dangerous to omit from the equation based on his consistent profile, while Irish raider Toto Too is another to note.

KAMSINAS created an excellent impression when making a winning start over hurdles at Worcester 15 days ago, impressing with how he travelled through the race, so he can build on that first effort to score again. Irish-challenger Toto Too also looked a useful prospect when successful on his hurdling debut and is respected, with Act of Authority another to take into account.

This is a dangerous betting heat with so many unexposed, but TOTO TOO is seemingly held in some regard by his shrewd Irish trainer.

MOLE COURT has had a tremendous starts to his chasing career and this represents another step up the ladder for Ben Pauling's charge. Being a son of Court Cave, the rise in trip should hold no fear and he can land the four-timer at the main expense of progressive Irish raider Menindee and Court Master, who has done well since joining new connections and remains 4lb below his last winning mark. Trainer John McConnell has a good record at this meeting and Bella Bliss must be considered, along with Destiny Is All and Wick Green.

MOLE COURT is an assured jumper who arrives with a progressive profile, so he boasts leading claims under one of the more experienced riders. Court Master is potentially well treated and could give it a good go from the front, while last-time-out winners Herewegohoney and Destiny Is All are also worthy of respect.

Marginal preference is for SERIOUS OPERATOR, who ended last season on a high with a taking success at Ayr and the fact he won first time out out last term should stand him in good stead. The form of his stable is another plus and he may have too much for course winner Soul Icon, as well as Lallygag, who wasn't beaten far here on his latest start in April. Angels Breath could be of interest on his return to hurdles, while Bucko's Boy and Building Bridges also have the form to get involved.

Cases can be made for a good number of these, with unexposed 6-y-os SERIOUS OPERATOR and Lallygag topping the shortlist, in that order of preference. The former landed a decent Ayr handicap on his final start of last season and his record when fresh (winner of all 4 starts under Rules following a break of 2 months or more) augurs well. Lallygag did very little wrong as a novice and should have more to offer, while Bucko's Boy, the hat-trick seeking Building Bridges and Rambo T all merit respect.
