12:15 Cheltenham (Class 2) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 -33%) Step Ahead	3 3/1(-33%)	(7) Step Ahead 3/1, Good effort on hurdles debut when second, beaten 7l, in a maiden hurdle at Warwick last time. Trainer in form; effective over 2m5f on good to soft and has more to offer. Has solid placed form, latest switched to hurdles; firmly in the mix.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/4 +44%) Just Golden	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(3) Just Golden 5/4, Keen and outpaced but improved from debut when 7l third in a novice hurdle at Newcastle on latest start. Effective from 2m to 2m6f and acts on soft and good to soft; more to come over hurdles and may do better at 3m. Showing consistency; latest effort has been franked; remains of interest.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 -8%) Neon Dream	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(6) Neon Dream 13/2, Improved when winning a maiden point at Ballycahane by 4l last time. Effective at 3m in points and brings potential for a good yard. Sold for £105,000 since Irish point win; the pick of the rules debutants.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 +59%) Handin Manypockets	33 33/1(+59%)	(2) Handin Manypockets 33/1, Promising debut when third, beaten 4 1/2l, in a maiden point at Rathcannon. Returns from a short break; effective at 3m in points, and this looks a good starting point. Purchased for £55,000 since finishing third in Irish point.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 -27%) Kiwi Rush	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(4) Kiwi Rush 7/2, Keen and travelled best but needed the run after a wind operation, making too much use of himself when fourth, beaten 16l, in a novice at Newbury last time. Second run after the wind op; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground; should improve for the experience. Showed up well for a long way at Newbury on the switch to hurdles.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 +38%) Walk Tall	25 25/1(+38%)	(8) Walk Tall 25/1, Improved despite being well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ascot last time. Effective over 2m5f and may need a bit more time over hurdles. Both hurdles efforts suggest he'll be more interesting in handicaps.
7th	5 7th (5) (80/1 -186%) Minella Mission	80 80/1(-186%)	(5) Minella Mission 80/1, Improved to get off the mark in a maiden point at Punchestown last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 3m in points and brings potential to hurdles. Sold for £45,000 since off the mark at the third attempt in Irish points.

12:15 Cheltenham (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up at Uttoxeter on his hurdling bow, JUST GOLDEN finished a solid third when acquitting himself well in this higher grade at Newcastle last time. The son of Flemensfirth beat a couple of subsequent winners in the process and another bold bid looks in the offing. Placed in a Listed bumper, Step Ahead made a promising start over hurdles when second at Warwick. He could have a say in proceedings, while Kiwi Rush will likely have come on for his fourth at Newbury and is another to consider.

It looks fairly tight among the main contenders. The percentage call goes to STEP AHEAD, ahead of Just Golden.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (10/11 +17%) Regent's Stroll	0.909091 10/11(+17%)	(3) Regent's Stroll 10/11, Converted an easy opportunity in a reapplied hood when winning a beginners' chase at Wincanton by 4 1/4l last time. Enjoys making the running; effective at 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground. A classy sort with more to offer. Smart hurdler who won in good style over fences at Wincanton last month; strong contender.
4	4 (4) (11/4 +0%) Califet En Vol	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(4) Califet En Vol 11/4, Ran to form on chase debut, let down by errors at key stages when closing to finish second, beaten 13l in a novice chase here latest. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and best on a sound surface. Plenty more to come when tidying up his jumping. Listed hurdle winner who may have needed the run over C&D on recent chase debut; dangerous.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +20%) Eagle Fang	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Eagle Fang 4/1, Didn't need to be at hurdles best, but promising start when winning a beginners chase' at Thurles by 3/4l last time; effective 2m-2m6f, best on a sound surface; capable of better over fences. Useful hurdler who won on chase debut at Thurles in November; respected under penalty.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +54%) Miami Magic	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(5) Miami Magic 13/2, Improved from debut when 15l third in a beginners' chase at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m on good ground; a useful novice hurdler who has yet to match that level of form over fences. Good hurdler but he's been disappointing in two chase runs this autumn; something to prove.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +50%) Knight Of Allen	10 10/1(+50%)	(2) Knight Of Allen 10/1, Ran to form down in trip on handicap debut when winning a handicap chase at Newbury by 3/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; almost certainly has more to offer but this demands more. Won a Newbury handicap last month but this is much tougher and he has plenty to find.

12:50 Cheltenham (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly beaten in the Grade 1 Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree last term, REGENT'S STROLL has taken well to the larger obstacles. He finished a promising third at Newbury in November prior to landing a match at Wincanton in good style and Paul Nicholls' charge looks one to keep the right side of. Califet En Vol offered plenty of encouragement when second here on his chasing bow and rates a bigger threat than the penalised winners Eagle Fang and Knight Of Allen.

This can go to REGENT'S STROLL, who looked an exciting recruit to chasing when beasting a useful rival at Wincanton last month.

13:25 Cheltenham (Class 2) 25f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (4/1 +64%) Shannon Royale	4 4/1(+64%)	(2) Shannon Royale 4/1, Ran to form but did plenty early when down in trip and was comfortably held in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time. Likes to race prominently, effective over 3m, but inconsistent. Irish 8yo who may raise his game with Sean Bowen booked; heed the market signals.
7	7 (7) (4/1 +38%) Jasmin De Grugy	4 4/1(+38%)	(7) Jasmin De Grugy 4/1, Needed the run but performed well to a point when fourth beaten 23l in the Rehearsal Handicap Chase at Newcastle last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m1f, acts on soft and good ground, and has potential to rate higher over fences. Disappointing last time but otherwise a largely productive sort; not written off.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +38%) New Order	5 5/1(+38%)	(8) New Order 5/1, Jumped boldly and was caught late, improving again up in trip under an aggressive ride when beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark at Sandown last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m; progressive and unexposed at staying trips. Record of 1152 in hood; might have won at Sandown last time but for jumping left.
3	3 (3) (11/2 -38%) Herakles Westwood	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(3) Herakles Westwood 11/2, Outpaced and unsuited by the way the race developed, needing a stiffer test when fourth beaten 6l in the Turners Handicap Chase here last time. Trainer in form; effective at 3m and beyond, suited by cut, better than that latest effort suggests. Shaped well at Cheltenham in last two outings; threatening to win a race of this nature.
4	4 (4) (7/1 -75%) Katate Dori	7 7/1(-75%)	(4) Katate Dori 7/1, Not best placed when comfortably held in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Effective at 3m, acts on any going, and could bounce back. Form in major handicaps includes a win last February and respectable effort latest start.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -23%) Does He Know	8 8/1(-23%)	(1) Does He Know 8/1, Returned to form back from a break and was suited by the decent ground when landing a Veterans' Handicap Chase by 17l off a 6lb lower mark at Haydock last time. Effective at 3m, acts on soft and good ground, and remains on a competitive mark. Scored easily at Haydock on reappearance; 4-10 at Cheltenham; may remain competitive.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +6%) Inch House	8 8/1(+6%)	(6) Inch House 8/1, Jumped poorly when pulled up in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Effective at 3m and acts on heavy and good ground but largely out of form. Well treated on best form, including second off 8lb higher in this race two years ago.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -50%) Excello	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Excello 12/1, From a yard that won this last year; disappointing up in trip and may have found the ground a bit soft when finishing down the field in the Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree most recently. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on decent ground and could bounce back. Contrasting efforts over the National fences at Aintree this term; not sure what to expect.

13:25 Cheltenham (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Does He Know ended a barren spell when landing a veterans' chase at Haydock on his reappearance. It remains to be seen if he can repeat that effort raised 6lb and HERAKLES WESTWOOD makes more appeal. Warren Greatrex's chaser faced a tougher assignment when fourth in a Grade 3 handicap here last month and this looks more his level. Excello could also bounce back on this faster surface, while New Order lurks at the bottom of the weights and can make his presence felt.

Judged on his recent course form, HERAKLES WESTWOOD looks the one to side with. Katate Dori is second choice.

3	3 (3) (4/1 +33%) Twinjets	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Twinjets 4/1, Improved again under a positive ride when winning a handicap chase by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Newbury last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and handles good to soft and good ground; a career-best effort is required again. Made all for 10l success at Newbury, taking record this term to 2-2; better than ever.
8	8 (8) (5/1 -25%) Glengouly	5 5/1(-25%)	(8) Glengouly 5/1, Run of race, improved on recent efforts in landing the December Gold Cup Handicap Chase by 1 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-3m, acts with cut; new mark asks more but he can again go well. Made all in the December Gold Cup over C&D last month; major player off 3lb higher.
2	2 (2) (6/1 +57%) Matata	6 6/1(+57%)	(2) Matata 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 9 1/2l into third in a handicap chase at Kelso on his latest start. Likes to go forward, effective around 2m and handles any ground, but needs to dominate to show his best. Very useful 2m chaser on his day; something to prove back up in distance.
9	9 (9) (6/1 -50%) Just Over Land	6 6/1(-50%)	(9) Just Over Land 6/1, Improved again when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Chepstow last time. Effective from 2m to 2m5f and handles heavy and good ground; faces a tough task from well out of the weights. Two from two this term; out of weights upped in class but is open to further progress.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +25%) Il Ridoto	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Il Ridoto 6/1, Had no obvious excuse when well beaten in the December Gold Cup Handicap Chase here last time. Effective at 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground, though recent efforts have been inconsistent. Has several pieces of good form over C&D, including two wins; on a handy mark.
4	4 (4) (13/2 +13%) Riskintheground	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(4) Riskintheground 13/2, Stable has won two of the last five renewals. Travelled well but may not have stayed when down the field in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury most recently. Trainer in form; effective around 2m4f on good to soft and good ground but possibly high enough in the weights now. New mark has kicked in but this drop back in trip is a plus; has won over C&D.
6	6 (6) (10/1 0%) Grandeur D'ame	10 10/1(0%)	(6) Grandeur D'ame 10/1, Failed to stay when upped in trip and finished down the field in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Effective at 2m4f and acts on any going; a capable but unreliable performer. Has bits of C&D form, notably close second to Moon d'Orange last January.
7	7 (7) (12/1 0%) Moon D'orange	12 12/1(0%)	(7) Moon D'orange 12/1, Made mistakes and may not have stayed when down the field in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury last time. Effective around 2m4f; current mark looks on the stiff side. Return to this scenario may have positive effect; gained sole chase win over C&D.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -238%) Jungle Boogie	22 22/1(-238%)	(1) Jungle Boogie 22/1, Did too much too soon when pulled up in the Ryanair Chase (Grade 1) here latest; returning from long layoff; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f-2m6f, acts on Hy, GS; ex-Henry de Bromhead, remains lightly raced for his age. Record of 3-3 for Willie Mullins then 2-5 for Henry de Bromhead; drops back in class.

14:00 Cheltenham (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Twinjets is a must for any shortlist as he confirmed the promise of his Fontwell success with an even more impressive Newbury triumph. Expect him to go off in front, but fellow hat-trick seeker Just Over Land will keep him honest and Matata likes to get on with it too. Add to that Glengouly, who made all here in the December Gold Cup, and this could be run to suit a closer, with C&D winner RISKINTHEGROUND put forward as the one to be on.

With further improvement plausible, JUST OVER LAND is interesting despite being out of the weights. Second choice is Il Ridoto.

4	4 (4) (8/15 +7%) Kabral Du Mathan	0.533333 8/15(+7%)	(4) Kabral Du Mathan 8/15, Did it easily, improved up in trip after wind op on stable debut when winning a handicap hurdle at Haydock by 12l last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m-2m3f, acts on S, GS; more to offer this season for new yard, looks the one to beat upped in grade. Impressive in Haydock handicap on stable/seasonal debut; strongly respected.
3	3 (3) (5/1 +50%) Jingko Blue	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Jingko Blue 5/1, From the yard that won this race last year; made mistakes and needed the run when doing too much early and finishing well beaten in the Stayers' Premier Handicap Hurdle at Haydock last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m but needs to find more at this level. Grade 2 winner over fences last term; possibly needed his reappearance run.
2	2 (2) (11/2 -22%) Lucky Place	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(2) Lucky Place 11/2, Won this last year; ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l in a beginners' chase at Newbury latest; effective 2m4f on S, G; back hurdling after failing to improve for switch to fences. Successful in this contest 12 months ago; major contender returned to hurdles.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +14%) The Real Whacker	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) The Real Whacker 12/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of, lit up by first time blinkers when comfortably held in bet365 Charlie Hall Chase (Grade 2) at Wetherby last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; suited by 3m on G; up against it at this trip back hurdling. Hurdles form remains inferior to his best achievements over fences.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -180%) Gowel Road	28 28/1(-180%)	(1) Gowel Road 28/1, Keen, mistakes, disappointing chase return when well beaten in Turners Handicap Chase here latest; effective 3m, acts on S, G; runner-up 12 months ago. Largely sound record over hurdles at Cheltenham; second in this race last year.
5	5 (5) (33/1 +0%) Kamsinas	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Kamsinas 33/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 5l, in a beginners' chase at Southwell last time. Effective from 2m to 3m; not fully exposed as a stayer and current mark looks about right. Has the worst chance at the weights on this return to hurdles.

14:35 Cheltenham (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

It hasn't worked out for Lucky Place over fences but he's more than capable of bouncing back now switching to timber, as he beat Gowel Road in this 12 months ago and was sent off 11/2 for the Stayers' Hurdle at the Festival. Stable companion Jingko Blue isn't without a squeak, but it was hard not to be super impressed with the way KABRAL DU MATHAN won at Haydock on his first start for Dan Skelton and he could take some stopping with further improvement to come.

Very promising KABRAL DU MATHAN can follow up his impressive reappearance win and enhance his Stayers' Hurdle claims.

Won a maiden here; progressive in handicaps, in hot race at Haydock latest; major player.
2	2 (2) (3/1 +14%) Ma Shantou	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Ma Shantou 3/1, Scored by 3l off a 9lb lower mark here penultimate start; found nil, below form up in grade last time; suited by 3m on G; progressive until latest; capable of bouncing back. Comfortably won 17-runner race here (3m, good) in October; Haydock flop four weeks later.
3	3 (3) (10/3 +17%) Double Powerful	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(3) Double Powerful 10/3, Not out of it when fell in a beginners chase' at Ludlow latest; effective 2m4f-3m, best on a sound surface; capable back hurdling. Good third here on chase debut in October but the fences have got in the way since.
6	6 (6) (9/1 +25%) Love Of Neymore	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) Love Of Neymore 9/1, Travelled, improved, just holding on over the longer trip landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; trainer in form; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on S, G; steadily progressive. Usually front-runs; better than ever for Chepstow win latest; more to prove on good ground.

15:10 Cheltenham (Class 2) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Ma Shantou didn't show at Haydock last time, but would have every chance on the evidence of his previous course success. Ace Of Spades finished a solid fourth in the aforementioned Haydock handicap and commands respect, but DOUBLE POWERFUL has been given time to get over his Ludlow fall in a beginners chase and is really interesting back over timber at a track where he's enjoyed success in the past.

There is interest from top to bottom in this field but ACE OF SPADES (nap) is tipped ahead of Spike Jones.

5	5 (5) (28/1 +15%) Crest Of Arms	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Crest Of Arms 28/1, Needed the experience but still showed ability when beaten 10l in a juvenile bumper at Wincanton on debut; should progress with that run behind him. Lost chance on the final bend in Wincanton race won by Bailly's Comet.

6	6 (6) (40/1 -82%) Don't Rein Me In	40 40/1(-82%)	(6) Don't Rein Me In 40/1, Outpaced but rallied to finish runner-up, beaten a length, in a juvenile bumper at Exeter; effective at 13f on good to firm; bumper form has been franked and further improvement is likely over longer trips. Ran encouragingly at Exeter but this is a much deeper contest.

15:40 Cheltenham (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It looked a decent Aintree bumper that MOLLY'S LAD finished second in on debut and it would be no surprise if he went one better here under a more positive ride. Solly's Gold won well at Wetherby and warrants respect, although he's up in class. Roximan is entitled to have come forward for his Wincanton effort and is respected for a top yard, while the winner of that race Bailly's Comet also comes into calculations.

Several contenders bring significant potential, most notably SOLLY'S GOLD. Second pick is Molly's Lad.
