3	3 (3) (5/1 +38%) Slade Steel		5 5/1(+38%)																															(3) Slade Steel 5/1, Outstayed over 3m when second beaten 2 1/2l in a beginners chase chase at Navan latest; form of previous effort boosted; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, barely gets 3m; classy novice hurdler, not as slick over fences but in form, can do better dropped in trip and former Supreme winner has a chance here. Consistent; won the 2024 Supreme in sole Cheltenham attempt; mark is attractive; solid.
10	10 (10) (11/2 +31%) Jordans Cross		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(10) Jordans Cross 11/2, Needed every yard overcoming pace bias landing a Novices' Handicap Chase by a nose off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground, acts on soft; progressing, may yet get 3m but should remain competitive if getting stiff test. Good strike-rate and gained latest success in a C&D event of high significance; big player.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -9%) Regent's Stroll		6 6/1(-9%)																															(4) Regent's Stroll 6/1, Yard won this last year with similar type; still keen, travelled, out-battled late up the hill having looked winner when second beaten 4l in a novice chase here latest; that form working out well; effective 2m4f, acts on soft, good; classy sort with more to offer in handicaps if settling better. Very similar type to last year's winner Caldwell Potter for same connections; respected.
13	13 (13) (15/2 +17%) Stencil		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(13) Stencil 15/2, Did it easily, ran to form jumping much better when winning a novice chase at Chepstow by 6 1/2l last time; usually held up; effective 2m, acts with cut; can do better in handicaps now jumping has improved but could do with some rain. Low-mileage 5yo who won well last time; possibilities provided he stays this new trip.
11	11 (11) (9/1 -64%) Meetmebythesea		9 9/1(-64%)																															(11) Meetmebythesea 9/1, Landed a handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wetherby three starts back with plenty left in the tank; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good to soft; debut form franked at Graded level, much more to come over fences back on better ground over longer trips; big player. Remains open to further improvement and the return to 2m4f promises to suit; major player.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +36%) Wingmen		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Wingmen 9/1, Ran to form when second beaten 10l in a beginners chase chase at Fairyhouse latest; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on any; in fair form, not the most willing and mark looks stiff enough. Latest effort has been franked by the smart winner since; may be ready to peak.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +21%) Kiss Will		11 11/1(+21%)																															(8) Kiss Will 11/1, Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l in a beginners chase chase at Punchestown latest; previous runner up effort strong form; effective 2 1/2-3m; consistent, can win soon over fences but may do better over longer trips than this. Three placed efforts over fences set him up nicely for a crack at this handicap.
16	16 (16) (12/1 +0%) The Bluesman		12 12/1(+0%)																															(16) The Bluesman 12/1, Improved again under slightly more positive ride landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Haydock last time though helped by faller; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; progressive but much more on his plate here. Record of 121 since joining new yard and switched to chasing; lightly raced and improving.
18	18 (18) (12/1 +14%) Kdeux Saint Fray		12 12/1(+14%)																															(18) Kdeux Saint Fray 12/1, Mistakes and jumped left, ran to form up in trip beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; ran well against pace bias here previously; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good; progressing over fences, may do better back going left handed but has shown his hand more than most here. Has notable Cheltenham form but possibly isn't crying out for this drop back to 2m4f.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -11%) King Alexander		20 20/1(-11%)																															(6) King Alexander 20/1, Did it comfortably and outclassed rivals when winning a beginners chase chase at Gowran Park by 3l last time; previous narrow defeat has been boosted; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on any; more to come over fences for top yard in handicaps but needs it to defy this mark. Recorded a career-best RPR with comfortable win at Gowran; peaking at the right time.
14	14 (14) (20/1 +29%) Western Knight		20 20/1(+29%)																															(14) Western Knight 20/1, Improved again back up in trip when second beaten 5 1/2l in Reynoldstown Novices' Chase (Grade 2) at Ascot latest; well treated on that; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft and good; progressing over fences despite slight enthusiasm concerns, could do better in handicaps but drop in trip not ideal. Not disgraced in the Reynoldstown over 3m; record of 4-4 at 2m3f-2m5f; could go well.
1	1 (1) (25/1 -25%) Gold Dancer		25 25/1(-25%)																															(1) Gold Dancer 25/1, Didn't stay 3m on testing ground when fourth beaten 13l in Ten Up Novice Chase (Grade 2) at Navan latest; runner up at top level previously; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any but suited by decent ground; form of Graded wins franked, may have reached level but place claims off top weight. Useful sort who has Graded form but likely needs improvement to defy top weight.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -50%) Moon Rocket		33 33/1(-50%)																															(9) Moon Rocket 33/1, Landed a handicap by 13l off a 6lb lower mark at Doncaster three starts back; may have found ground too soft when comfortably held in Hampton Novices' Chase (Grade 2) last time; trainer in form; effective 3m, acts on good to soft; highly tried over hurdles last term so well regarded but mark stiff enough. Interesting sort, being related to Tully East who won this corresponding race in 2017.
20	20 (20) (33/1 -32%) Ben Solo		33 33/1(-32%)																															(20) Ben Solo 33/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Chepstow latest when likely to have won; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; had looked a natural in this sphere until latest and progressive but this a big ask. Has performed well at Chepstow since switched to chasing but this is a stiffer task.
5	5 (5) (40/1 -43%) Ol Man Dingle		40 40/1(-43%)																															(5) Ol Man Dingle 40/1, Well held up in grade in Drinmore Novice Chase (Grade 1) at Fairyhouse last time; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; progressing over fences until latest, needs this drop in class but mark looks tough enough. Needs to resume progress but has big-field handicap experience; cheekpieces added.
17	17 (17) (40/1 -43%) Where's My Jet		40 40/1(-43%)																															(17) Where's My Jet 40/1, Improved up in trip but challenged too early off strong pace when comfortably held in Leopardstown Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Leopardstown last time; effective 2 1/2m; improving over fences and holds outside claims. Has inconsistent form since switched to chasing; not certain to back up latest effort.
19	19 (19) (66/1 -136%) Dr Eggman		66 66/1(-136%)																															(19) Dr Eggman 66/1, Ran to form just paying the price for trying to go with classy winner when 34l third in a beginners chase chase at Thurles most recent run; effective 2 1/2m, acts on any; capable of better back up in trip but mark looks stiff here. Again faces stronger candidates from his own yard; overall record is only 2-15.
12	12 (12) (80/1 -60%) Intense Approach		80 80/1(-60%)																															(12) Intense Approach 80/1, Stopped quickly on unsuitable heavy ground when comfortably held in Flyingbolt Novice Chase (Grade 3) at Navan last time; jumping an issue so far over fences; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by good; must bounce back and wouldn't want rain. Has failed to back up the form of his Galway win (chase debut); less solid than others.

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

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

Paul Nicholls won this with Caldwell Potter 12 months ago and the Ditcheat maestro saddles an interesting runner in the shape of Regent's Stroll. The form of his second here on New Year's Day has been franked, although there has to be a worry that the atmosphere of the Festival may just get to him, especially given how keen he has been at times. Meetmebythesea will appreciate a sounder surface after qualifying when not sighted in the Game Spirit and the step up in trip is another angle for improvement, while the same owner's Stencil needs to prove his stamina after impressing at Chepstow. Jordans Cross won over C&D on Trials Day in a race that has a terrific record of throwing up Festival winners, but a chance is taken with OL MAN DINGLE. The seven-year-old scored on his first two chase starts at Galway and Cork before finding the ground too soft in the Drinmore. Freshened up since, the application of cheekpieces is another potential source of improvement and he may well prove to be overpriced.

With his credentials so strong, REGENT'S STROLL (nap) is preferred. Solid Slade Steel is second pick, ahead of Jordans Cross.

7	7 (7) (5/6 -25%) Wodhooh		0.833333 5/6(-25%)																															(7) Wodhooh 5/6, Gamely wore down rival who got first run when winning Kerrymount Mares Hurdle (Grade 3) at Leopardstown by 2 1/4l last time; Martin Pipe winner here last year; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m; hugely progressive, sole hurdles defeat at hands of top class rival and the one to beat. 9-10 over hurdles, including two C&D wins; two Graded wins this term; again hard to beat.
3	3 (3) (2/1 +43%) Jade De Grugy		2 2/1(+43%)																															(3) Jade De Grugy 2/1, Winner of two G1s; yard has won last two runnings of race; runner up in this last year; improved when winning Carey Glass Mares Novice Chase (Grade 2) decisively at Thurles by 18l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m2f-2m5f, acts on heavy, good to soft; high-class, still progressing and a big player Two Grade 1 hurdle wins; Grade 2 novice chase win latest; 2nd last year; sure to go well.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -7%) Feet Of A Dancer		8 8/1(-7%)																															(2) Feet Of A Dancer 8/1, Travelled, ran to best suited by step up in trip, well timed ride when winning Yorkshire Rose Mares' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster by 2l last time; effective 2-3m, acts on any; consistent; closely matched with Dream On Baby on form. Listed and Grade 2 winner this season but beaten by Wodhooh at Leopardstown in between.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -50%) Take No Chances		12 12/1(-50%)																															(6) Take No Chances 12/1, Outpaced, ran to form but unsuited by way race developed down in trip 2l third in the Conditions Hurdle at Windsor most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2-3m; admirably consistent mare, could be on fair mark in handicaps but usually runs her race and will be ridden to pick up the pieces. Third to Lossiemouth last year; has run well in defeat this term; each-way player again.
1	1 (1) (33/1 +0%) Dream On Baby		33 33/1(+0%)																															(1) Dream On Baby 33/1, Travelled, ran to form benefitting from easy lead on ground softer than ideal when second beaten 2l in Yorkshire Rose Mares' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster latest; effective 2-3m over hurdles; drop in trip and better ground will suit; chance of a place on the podium. Likeable but behind Wodhooh and Feet Of A Dancer (twice) in recent races.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -60%) Jetara		40 40/1(-60%)																															(4) Jetara 40/1, Raced lazily, ran to form but didn't look entirely happy on the ground 9l third in Yorkshire Rose Mares' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster most recent run; blinkers first time; best at 3m, suited by decent ground; competitive at G2 level but held in this last year and vulnerable once again. 4th last year; operating a little below her best this term; blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Useful but has plenty to find on form.

14:40 Cheltenham (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

With dual winner Lossiemouth successfully diverted to the Champion Hurdle, and fellow top mares Brighterdaysahead and Golden Ace also fighting out Tuesday's showpiece, the way has apparently been paved clear for WODHOOH to register her first Grade 1 success. Victory in last year's Martin Pipe took her unbeaten record over timber to seven and after then chasing home Lossiemouth at Aintree, she proved too classy at Ascot before beating Feet Of A Dancer and Dream On Baby at Leopardstown. Gordon Elliott's mare appears bombproof, although Jade De Grugy did claim the silver medal 12 months ago and, after spending this campaign over fences, attempts to give Willie Mullins a remarkable 12th win in the race. Take No Chances also made the frame in 2025 and could do so again.

Last year's runner-up Jade De Grugy should go well but preference is for WODHOOH, who can make it 10-11 over hurdles.

He has a very strong record in this race, winning it in 2024, and is a leading player.
9	9 (9) (4/1 +0%) Kabral Du Mathan		4 4/1(+0%)																															(9) Kabral Du Mathan 4/1, Overcame bad error mid race when impressively winning Relkeel Hurdle (Grade 2) here by 5 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; more to offer this season for new yard, may yet get 3m, contender for spring festivals at top level, Aintree Hurdle may suit but this stiff track in strongly run race a concern. Powered clear to win the Grade 2 Relkeel here over an extended 2m4f; now tackles new trip.
1	1 (1) (11/2 +50%) Ballyburn		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(1) Ballyburn 11/2, Winner of four G1s; yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; 14l third in Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown most recent run; narrowly denied by Teahupoo in Grade 1 previously over 2 1/2m; effective 2 1/2-2m5f, acts with cut; didn't really take to chasing where beaten favourite here last year, useful hurdler but not straightforwards and stamina to prove. 14l third to Teahupoo in Christmas Hurdle; may again be vulnerable to stronger stayers.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +13%) Bob Olinger		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(2) Bob Olinger 13/2, Winner of four G1s including this last year; needed run when second beaten 7l in Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; not given a hard time behind Teahupoo that day; usually held up; effective 2 1/2-3m; has had issues but now generally consistent, not fully exposed at 3m, good Cheltenham record winning 3 times at this meeting; strong claims. Won this last year and excellent record at Cheltenham means he has to be in calculations.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +33%) Impose Toi		8 8/1(+33%)																															(8) Impose Toi 8/1, Travelled but flattened out on ground softer than ideal when second beaten 7l in Cleeve Hurdle (Grade 2) here latest; landed Grade 1 Long Walk prior to that; trainer in form; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by decent ground; progressive since being upped to 3m, leading contender for spring festivals. Grade 1 Long Walk winner; capable of better than he showed when runner-up in the Cleeve.
10	10 (10) (17/2 -31%) Ma Shantou		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(10) Ma Shantou 17/2, Travelled, did it readily, improved again up in class, got weight from main rival when winning Cleeve Hurdle (Grade 2) here by 7l last time; suited by 3m on good; progressive as a stayer, goes well at Cheltenham and a big player up in class. Highly progressive 7yo who won Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle over C&D in January by 7l; big chance.
7	7 (7) (11/1 -144%) Honesty Policy		11 11/1(-144%)																															(7) Honesty Policy 11/1, 2l third in Long Walk Hurdle (Grade 1) at Ascot most recent run where not knocked about and needed the outing; off a short-break; effective 2m-3m, acts on heavy and good; Grade 1 winner as a novice; more to come in second season over hurdles and should build on latest, stiff track such as Cheltenham will suit, could reverse form and looks a major player. Very lightly raced 6yo; has the potential to take high rank in the staying hurdle division.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -18%) Home By The Lee		33 33/1(-18%)																															(6) Home By The Lee 33/1, Winner of two G1s; back to form when winning Galmoy Hurdle (Grade 2) at Gowran Park by 1/2l last time; effective 3m, acts with cut; can be a tricky ride but strong stayer, looks level nowadays and has disappointed in this race a couple of times. Grade 2 win in January but this 11yo has found Grade 1 races tough over the last 12 months.
3	3 (3) (40/1 +39%) Doddiethegreat		40 40/1(+39%)																															(3) Doddiethegreat 40/1, Did not travel, looked awkward, may have found ground on the soft side 12l third in Cleeve Hurdle (Grade 2) here most recent run; blinkers first time; trainer in form; suited by 3m on decent ground; progressive since being upped to staying trips but this looks too tough.

15:20 Cheltenham (Class 1) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Teahupoo has been the pre-eminent stayer for a few years now and has finished third, first and second in the last three renewals. After just keeping Ballyburn at bay to win his third Hatton's Grace, he was much more impressive when slamming BOB OLINGER by seven lengths at Leopardstown over Christmas. This season has been all about one day for Bob Olinger, though, and he was so good when quickening clear of Teahupoo after the last 12 months ago. His Cheltenham record is exemplary and he doesn't have many miles on the clock for an 11-year-old. Kabral Du Mathan and Ma Shantou are the young upstarts in this division and the latter was impressive when accounting for Impose Toi in the Cleeve. Honesty Policy is another new addition to this scene, although he has ground to make up on Impose Toi from their meeting in the Long Walk.

The very lightly raced 6yo HONESTY POLICY is taken to deliver on the considerable promise he showed last year. Ma Shantou is feared.

Course winner; top-class two-miler who is 3-3 at about 2m5f, staying on well latest.
1	1 (1) (3/1 +50%) Banbridge		3 3/1(+50%)																															(1) Banbridge 3/1, Winner of three G1s; back to best just out-battled late when second beaten a nose in King George VI Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton latest; off a short-break; effective 2-3m, needs sound surface and flat track; competitive if getting ideal conditions but has struggled on chase course here before. Won and touched off in last two King Georges but soundly beaten at last two Festivals.
5	5 (5) (10/3 +56%) Impaire Et Passe		3.333333 10/3(+56%)																															(5) Impaire Et Passe 10/3, Winner of five G1s; when winning Red Mills Chase (Grade 2) at Gowran Park by 1 1/4l last time; effective 2m-2m5f on soft and good; classy performer, still only an 8yo and retains potential, latest win should set him up for spring campaign. Festival winner over hurdles; won Grade 1 chase last April; needs more for the win.

Well-held second to Fact To File in this race last year; another place is achievable.
7	7 (7) (18/1 +55%) Jpr One		18 18/1(+55%)																															(7) Jpr One 18/1, Did it cosily, ran to best up in trip when winning a handicap chase at Musselburgh by 3l last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; back in form of late, not fully exposed at 2 1/2m but looks out of depth here. Won 2m4f handicap chase latest; much more to do here and well held at 3 previous Festivals.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +55%) Matata		18 18/1(+55%)																															(9) Matata 18/1, Up in trip, didn't stay when comfortably held in the Fleur De Lys Chase at Windsor last time; off a short-break; effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on any; back in form until latest, drop in trip will suit but likely outclassed. Ready winner of C&D handicap in January; Grade 1 company likely to be beyond him again.
8	8 (8) (50/1 +60%) Master Chewy		50 50/1(+60%)																															(8) Master Chewy 50/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in Game Spirit Chase (Grade 2) at Newbury last time; effective 2m, just about gets 2 1/2m; generally consistent but likely outclassed and stamina concerns. Has plenty to find at the weights; well adrift behind Fact To File in this last year.

16:00 Cheltenham (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Connections of Fact To File had plenty to think about after his scintillating display in the Irish Gold Cup and they have opted to try and win a second Ryanair. Willie Mullins' star produced an effort out of the top drawer when storming clear of Heart Wood here last season but he must now back up his Leopardstown success, with some of his below-par efforts in the last 12 months coming after a big performance. Banbridge didn't appear to stay in the Gold Cup last year but commands plenty of respect over this distance, although it is another previous Festival winner in IMPAIRE ET PASSE who appeals most. His only Cheltenham appearance saw him run away with the 2023 Ballymore and the eight-year-old displayed a sharp turn of foot on his comeback on heavy ground at Gowran. He arrives fresher than his main rivals and there is every chance he has more to offer over fences. The hugely admirable Jonbon toughed it out in both the Clarence House and the Ascot Chase and it will be interesting to see how he fares over a longer trip at a track where he hasn't produced his very best form.

This should go to FACT TO FILE who was impressive when winning this race last year and was back to form last time out.

21	21 (21) (8/1 +43%) Bold Endeavour		8 8/1(+43%)																															(21) Bold Endeavour 8/1, Yard won this last year; returned to form down in class back from break when 4 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; placed in this off 13lb higher a couple of years ago; effective around 3m, acts on soft and good; should come on for return, well treated on old form and looks to have been primed for this. Second run back with Nicky Henderson; fourth in the 2024 Pertemps Final off 13lb higher.
19	19 (19) (8/1 0%) C'est Different		8 8/1(0%)																															(19) C'est Different 8/1, Did it cosily, got first run, improved again landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Newbury last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts with cut; progressive, may have more to offer as a stayer but handicapper has reacted. 4-4 in handicaps (soft/good to soft) and strode clear for two emphatic wins over about 3m.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +10%) Electric Mason		9 9/1(+10%)																															(3) Electric Mason 9/1, Improved again reversing form with conqueror on better terms landing a Stayers' Premier Handicap Hurdle by a neck off a 7lb lower mark at Haydock last time; that strong form; returning from a break; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good; form franked and kept fresh but revised mark will demand more. Major chance after his second to Ma Shantou here and a win in valuable race at Haydock.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +13%) Staffordshire Knot		14 14/1(+13%)																															(1) Staffordshire Knot 14/1, Yard has won 3 of last 10 runnings of race; landed a Handicap Hurdle by 5 1/2l off a 12lb lower mark at Punchestown in November; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by cut; progressing as a stayer this term; fair mark on Graded form but didn't enjoy track last year in Coral Cup and could do with some rain. 2m6f-3m has proved just the ticket this winter with three wins; tough customer.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +13%) Kikijo		14 14/1(+13%)																															(6) Kikijo 14/1, Gamely repelled runner up, improved again relishing stamina test landing a Handicap Hurdle by 3/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Sandown last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good; unexposed as a stayer have more to offer over hurdles. Soft ground has probably helped but he keeps finding more and probably has deeper reserves.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -33%) Ace Of Spades		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) Ace Of Spades 16/1, Hung under pressure, improved again in weaker contest landing a Handicap Hurdle by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; consistent at 2 1/2-3m on sound surface; progressive as a stayer, penultimate form franked emphatically but handicapper has reacted. Two wins this term and a good 2nd here; progressive 7yo who has to be taken seriously.
18	18 (18) (18/1 +10%) Champagne Chic		18 18/1(+10%)																															(18) Champagne Chic 18/1, Improved again aided by late faller landing a Handicap Hurdle by 5 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Haydock last time; usually held up; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on any; open to progress as a stayer but career best needed again. Stretched just over 5l ahead from Minella Emperor on the run-in at Haydock (3m) latest.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +45%) Red Dirt Road		18 18/1(+45%)																															(9) Red Dirt Road 18/1, Built on reappearance down in class when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap hurdle at Haydock latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f-2m7f with cut; running into form and just 1lb above last winning mark. Third run on the comeback trail; well handicapped if back to his best form last winter.
20	20 (20) (20/1 -100%) Minella Emperor		20 20/1(-100%)																															(20) Minella Emperor 20/1, Improved again up in trip when second beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Haydock latest; effective 2m3f-3m, acts on any; steadily progressing as trip increases; inexperienced jockey may not be ideal for a race such as this. Lightly raced; not that straightforward but there's time for him to get his act together.
14	14 (14) (20/1 -11%) Yeah Man		20 20/1(-11%)																															(14) Yeah Man 20/1, Unsuited by drop in trip when comfortably held in Red Mills Trial Hurdle (Grade 3) at Gowran Park last time; suited by 3m+, acts on any; inconsistent competing in top staying handicap chases, hurdles mark could be generous. Has a much lower hurdles mark; close second to Duke Silver in the Leopardstown qualifier.
11	11 (11) (22/1 -38%) Lavida Adiva		22 22/1(-38%)																															(11) Lavida Adiva 22/1, Ran to form 8l third in Rendlesham Hurdle (Grade 2) at Haydock most recent run; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good and good; consistent Listed winner; career high mark may not be beyond her if rain stays away. Never better than on last three starts; needs to resume improvement in this hot handicap.
17	17 (17) (22/1 -38%) Letos		22 22/1(-38%)																															(17) Letos 22/1, Outclassed when down the field in Ballymore Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Naas most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by cut; progressing since move from France until latest, could bounce back down in grade but not here. No shock if he remains capable of better but there is a question over his ideal trip.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +12%) Classic King		22 22/1(+12%)																															(10) Classic King 22/1, Every chance, ran to form when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; consistent but holds no secrets from handicapper. Not quite so good this term; did not shout stamina when upped to 3m for last two outings.
15	15 (15) (25/1 -108%) Melbourne Shamrock		25 25/1(-108%)																															(15) Melbourne Shamrock 25/1, Improved up in trip in first time cheekpieces on handicap debut landing a handicap by a neck off a 11lb lower mark at Naas last time; blinkers first time; effective 2 3/4-3m, acts with cut; progressing, form franked and looks a leading contender. Fifth hurdle race when justifying favouritism in Naas qualifier (2m7f, heavy) 18 days ago.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -25%) Minella Sixo		25 25/1(-25%)																															(5) Minella Sixo 25/1, Yard has won 3 of last 10 runnings of race; beaten a neck off a 8lb lower mark at Naas last time where conceded first run; effective at around 3m, suited by good but acts on any; back in form, mark fair on novice form and spring ground could suit, interesting. Surged back to form when a recent, close second at Naas (2m7f, heavy) in second-time visor.
2	2 (2) (33/1 -65%) Gowel Road		33 33/1(-65%)																															(2) Gowel Road 33/1, Game beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 3m, acts on soft and good; flattered by Graded form but goes well at Cheltenham; dangerous if allowed easy time up front. Cheltenham regular; back up 2lb to his career-high mark but probably not far away.
23	23 (23) (33/1 +34%) Idem		33 33/1(+34%)																															(23) Idem 33/1, Too much to do having conceded first run beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; effective at 3m on decent ground; in form and fair mark on autumn efforts but well held in this last year. Second in the Musselburgh qualifier last time but he's an exposed 8yo.
12	12 (12) (40/1 -21%) Ikarak		40 40/1(-21%)																															(12) Ikarak 40/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Ayr last time; off a short-break; effective 3m, acts with cut; admirably consistent but may be high enough in weights now. Regular winner, including on two of his three starts this season; up another 6lb.
22	22 (22) (40/1 -21%) Onewaywest		40 40/1(-21%)																															(22) Onewaywest 40/1, Improved again up in trip suited by positive ride at sharp track beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good to soft; progressing but vulnerable off this mark in this class. Keeps going up the weights and this return to a left-handed track is a concern.
13	13 (13) (50/1 -79%) Duke Silver		50 50/1(-79%)																															(13) Duke Silver 50/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 14lb lower mark at Leopardstown penultimate start; finished tired on ground too testing seventh beaten 37l off 127 last time, 6lb higher here; effective 2 1/2-3m, wants decent ground; generally progressive until latest but mark looks stiff. Very inconsistent in recent starts but won two of them, including Leopardstown qualifier.
24	24 (24) (50/1 -25%) Ike Sport		50 50/1(-25%)																															(24) Ike Sport 50/1, Never travelled, didn't handle the soft ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time; usually held up; effective 2 1/2m on good, barely gets 3m; back on workable mark when getting conditions but stamina concerns here. Second to Absolutely Doyen at Wincanton (3m) at Christmas; modest show at Plumpton latest.
16	16 (16) (80/1 -100%) Idy Wood		80 80/1(-100%)																															(16) Idy Wood 80/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Windsor most recent; in good form prior; trainer in form; off a short-break; best at 2 1/2m; consistent until latest, mark demands more and stamina concerns. 2-4 back hurdling this term; tailed off on latest start; unraced beyond 2m5f under rules.

16:40 Cheltenham (Class 1) 23f Race Class Flow

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

The ante-post betting would suggest the home contingent are fancied to get one over on their Irish counterparts, not least because the highly-progessive C'est Different gets in under a handy weight. Absolutely Doyen is just as progressive, although Kikijo and Electric Mason have both been effective at this venue in the past and could offer the bigger threat. All that being said, the prize might head back across the Irish Sea courtesy of MINELLA EMPEROR. Kept to maiden/novice company for much of the season, Emmet Mullins' seven-year-old hit the woodwork on his handicap bow when qualifying for this race at Haydock last month. Just 1lb higher and with owner/regular rider Michael O'Neill back aboard, the British handicapper might have underestimated his ability. Stable companion Melbourne Shamrock is another to note, and top-weight Staffordshire Knot makes some appeal too on the back of his Boyne Hurdle triumph.

Preference is for C'EST DIFFERENT ahead of Absolutely Doyen, Electric Mason and Staffordshire Knot.

Hasn't looked a natural over fences but cheekpieces could help, along with Derek O'Connor.
19	19 (19) (9/2 +50%) Kim Roque		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(19) Kim Roque 9/2, Beaten 6l in Leopardstown Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Leopardstown last time; in good form prior at this venue; effective up to 2m6f, acts on soft; ex French, in form and may have bit more to offer for new yard if ridden more conservatively over this longer trip. 6yo; promise in defeat for new yard and it's possible this new trip will be within range.
11	11 (11) (9/2 +0%) Waterford Whispers		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(11) Waterford Whispers 9/2, Returned to form back up in trip beaten 1 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; former Martin Pipe runner up; effective at around 2 1/2m; has had issues, inconsistent, could now want 3m but risky.

17	17 (17) (9/1 +36%) Road To Home		9 9/1(+36%)																															(17) Road To Home 9/1, Pulled up in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown latest; in good form over fences previously; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; step up in trip could suit; more to come for top yard when back on better ground. The return to fences and better ground can help; may have potential over a staying trip.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +0%) Herakles Westwood		10 10/1(+0%)																															(8) Herakles Westwood 10/1, Needed every yard down in trip, ran to form down in class, aided by carnage landing a Betfair Handicap Chase by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 3m+, suited by cut; in fine form, marathon trips may suit. Has run well here on last three starts, winning most recently; wind op since; solid claims.
20	20 (20) (11/1 +56%) Gericault Roque		11 11/1(+56%)																															(20) Gericault Roque 11/1, Returned to form in first time cheekpieces beaten 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Ascot last time; placed in 2022 Ultima here; effective 3m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent following lay off but fair mark if building on latest. Lightly raced since his second in the 2022 Ultima; second at Ascot latest; possibilities.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +25%) Sandor Clegane		12 12/1(+25%)																															(5) Sandor Clegane 12/1, Yard won this last year; ran to current form down the field in Paddy Power Handicap Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m6f-3m; weak finisher in moderate form. Well handicapped on peak form but hasn't produced it in last 12 months; cheekpieces go on.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +0%) Prends Garde A Toi		14 14/1(+0%)																															(7) Prends Garde A Toi 14/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; improved up in trip, well placed in race dominated from front when fourth beaten 6l in Handicap Chase at Punchestown latest; effective 2 1/2m; form franked, inconsistent but a big player if bringing best. Inconsistent but this novice looks a type who will be suited by the demands of this race.
13	13 (13) (18/1 -13%) Daily Present		18 18/1(-13%)																															(13) Daily Present 18/1, Won this last year off 6lb lower; pulled up in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown latest; enjoys making it; effective 3m, acts with cut; inconsistent and mark looks stiff enough. Won this last year; has struggled over hurdles this term but he could go well back here.
3	3 (3) (18/1 +0%) The Enabler		18 18/1(+0%)																															(3) The Enabler 18/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; travelled, tired late up the hill, improved 16l third in Finlay Ford At Naas Novice Chase (Grade 3) at Naas most recent run; effective 2-2 1/2m; acts on heavy and good; consistent and mark fair based on Graded form. Not kicked on from impressive novice win in December but not ruled out for top Irish yard.
2	2 (2) (18/1 +55%) Monbeg Genius		18 18/1(+55%)																															(2) Monbeg Genius 18/1, Ran to current form beaten 6l in Grand National Trial Handicap Chase at Haydock last time; blinkers first time; effective 3m, acts with cut; inconsistent but back below last winning mark and running into form. Respectable efforts on last two starts and now below his last winning mark; not discounted.
22	22 (22) (22/1 +12%) Ask Brewster		22 22/1(+12%)																															(22) Ask Brewster 22/1, Below form off revised mark when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Sandown last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; suited by 3m+, acts on any but possibly not heavy; handicapper may have caught up. Hat-trick last year on good/good to firm; the drier the ground the better.
10	10 (10) (25/1 -14%) Weveallbeencaught		25 25/1(-14%)																															(10) Weveallbeencaught 25/1, No obvious excuse when down the field in Paddy Power Handicap Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; best at 3m, generally consistent; in good form for new yard until latest but vulnerable to improver. Below par latest but good 2nd previously; 4th in this last year; each-way shout if on song.
9	9 (9) (25/1 0%) King's Threshold		25 25/1(0%)																															(9) King's Threshold 25/1, Travelled, did it readily, improved up in trip at favoured venue landing a Mandarin Handicap Chase by 3 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Newbury last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m; in career best form, revised mark will demand more. Had just 5 rivals to beat at Newbury last time but he was impressive; not ruled out up 6lb.
21	21 (21) (33/1 +50%) No Time To Wait		33 33/1(+50%)																															(21) No Time To Wait 33/1, Ran to form just flattening out late on ground more testing than ideal when fourth beaten 14l in a novice chase at Fairyhouse latest; blinkers first time; effective 3m, acts on any but suited by decent ground; still a maiden over fences but fair mark on novice form; interesting at a price. Below best on both outings this winter and now 0-9 over fences; gets a change of headgear.
6	6 (6) (40/1 +0%) Il Ridoto		40 40/1(+0%)																															(6) Il Ridoto 40/1, Back to form of reduced mark when second beaten 9 1/2l in Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase here latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; veteran has been inconsistent of late, fair mark if building on recent revival but big stamina worries. Two-time course winner but over 2m4f and he doesn't appear to be crying out for this trip.
24	24 (24) (40/1 +20%) Lord Accord		40 40/1(+20%)																															(24) Lord Accord 40/1, Ran to form suited by decent ground and positive ride when second beaten 11l in a handicap chase at Ascot latest; returning from a break; wants 3m+, needs sound surface; back in form, this tougher. In good heart in these blinkers in the autumn but this 11yo may find this too competitive.
15	15 (15) (50/1 -100%) Excello		50 50/1(-100%)																															(15) Excello 50/1, Fell in a handicap chase here latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on decent ground; in form until latest completed start, well treated on French efforts but stamina concerns. Some good form in defeat last year but there's a suspicion he lacks the necessary stamina.
23	23 (23) (50/1 +0%) Hung Jury		50 50/1(+0%)																															(23) Hung Jury 50/1, Outpaced and looked in need of stiffer test when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ascot most recent; effective 3m+; better over fences; thorough stayer with excellent course record; probably out of depth here. A return to form is needed from this 11yo but he likes it here; might have an each-squeak.
4	4 (4) (66/1 -100%) Insurrection		66 66/1(-100%)																															(4) Insurrection 66/1, Never jumped or travelled when well beaten in a handicap chase at Musselburgh latest; effective 2 1/2m; needs sound surface; unreliable and mark too high. 2m4f third at Musselburgh in January but well beaten there since; stamina a big unknown.
16	16 (16) (80/1 -100%) Glengouly		80 80/1(-100%)																															(16) Glengouly 80/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark here three starts back; went too fast last time when pulled up; effective 2-3m, acts with cut; very well treated on old efforts, inconsistent for new yard, likes to dominate but big stamina worries here. Made all here in December but pulled up on both starts since, the latest only 12 days ago.
18	18 (18) (100/1 -100%) Cave Court		100 100/1(-100%)																															(18) Cave Court 100/1, Needed run, didn't stay 3m when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Haydock latest; effective 2m; should come on for latest but big stamina concerns here. Tailed off at 50-1 over hurdles at Haydock last month and looks up against it today.
14	14 (14) (125/1 -150%) Olympic Man		125 125/1(-150%)																															(14) Olympic Man 125/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts with cut; inconsistent and ground may be quick enough here. Beginners chase win last March; struggled over hurdles on final 2 runs for Willie Mullins.

17:20 Cheltenham (Class 2) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Derek O'Connor has worn the JP McManus colours to glory in this a couple of times, most recently on subsequent Gold Cup hero Inothewayurthinkin in 2024, and he can do so again on JERIKO DU REPONET. The Nicky Henderson-trained seven-year-old hasn't exactly looked a natural chaser, but he has bags of quality and was runner-up in the Pertemps Final 12 months ago. He looks to have been perfectly campaigned because he sneaks in here just under the ceiling with his 145 rating - 4lb lower than his timber figure. McManus is also represented by Waterford Whispers, who caught the eye when making the frame over an extended 2m5f at the DRF. Kim Roque was back in fifth on that occasion, but should appreciate the extra yardage. Herakles Westwood and last year's winner Daily Present are just two more to consider.

7yo novice PRENDS GARDE A TOI could be the ideal type for this race and is the pick ahead of fellow Irish runner Waterford Whispers.

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.
