Shaped well on reappearance; Townend rides; of major interest in his first handicap.
22	22 (22) (4/1 +56%) Sinnatra		4 4/1(+56%)																															(22) Sinnatra 4/1, Yard has won 4 of last 10 runnings of race; went clear with ease outclassing rivals down in grade when winning a novice hurdle at Warwick by 5l last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; strong, slightly workmanlike chasing type but form strong. Novice who is a very interesting handicap newcomer for yard with strong record in this.
16	16 (16) (15/2 +63%) Joyeuse		7.5 15/2(+63%)																															(16) Joyeuse 15/2, Travelled, all but fell last when challenging, eased, may have won when fourth beaten 4l in Warfield Mares' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Ascot latest; effective 2m; below par this term but hinted at better last time albeit in weak race for grade; could be well treated back in a handicap judged on impressive win last spring. Won big handicap last year; better than result latest; could go well with headgear fitted.
23	23 (23) (8/1 +50%) Secret Squirrel		8 8/1(+50%)																															(23) Secret Squirrel 8/1, Ran to form just flattening out late back from break 8 1/4l third in Kingwell Hurdle (Grade 2) at Wincanton most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; consistent in hot handicaps, should come on for latest; interesting contender. Very competitive in top handicaps last season; decent reappearance in Grade 2 last month.

Has joined Dan Skelton since last seen in the autumn; no surprise to see him go well.
8	8 (8) (9/1 -50%) Murcia		9 9/1(-50%)																															(8) Murcia 9/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; forced wide on ground more testing than ideal when fourth beaten 12l in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown latest; effective 2m, acts on soft, good to soft; failed to get up the hill here last term in Fred Winter; won at top level as juvenile in weak contest, running into form this term. Raced wide when fourth at Dublin Racing Festival and could be primed for bold bid.
11	11 (11) (11/1 +8%) Sixandahalf		11 11/1(+8%)																															(11) Sixandahalf 11/1, Outstayed late when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in Kerrymount Mares Hurdle (Grade 3) at Leopardstown latest; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on yielding, good; classy hurdler unlucky to lose at here last spring, recent form franked, may want drop to 2m but battling qualities are a concern. Second in Dawn Run at 2025 Festival; fourth to Wodhooh at Christmas; first handicap hurdle.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -20%) Hello Neighbour		12 12/1(-20%)																															(5) Hello Neighbour 12/1, Ridden to pick up the pieces, never threatened off big weight when well beaten in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown latest; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; useful juvenile ran well in Triumph (Grade 1) over C&D last year, mark asks more. Grade 1 juvenile winner; not disgraced in two runs this winter; could go well.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +14%) Wilful		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) Wilful 12/1, Scored by 3l off a 9lb lower mark at Ascot penultimate start; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 2m, suited by decent ground, acts on soft; steadily progressive but new mark asks more again. Progressive; made all in hot race at Ascot in December; second in another at Windsor since.
12	12 (12) (12/1 +25%) Jubilee Alpha		12 12/1(+25%)																															(12) Jubilee Alpha 12/1, Ran to form but flattened out on ground more testing than ideal having conceded first run when second beaten 4l in Warwick Mares' Hurdle (Listed) at Warwick latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; consistent but handicapper has her about right. Smart but a little below par since her reappearance; drops back in trip for handicap debut.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +13%) Bowensonfire		14 14/1(+13%)																															(3) Bowensonfire 14/1, Improved again suited by strong pace outstaying rivals landing a Listed Handicap Hurdle by 2l off a 13lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on any; hugely progressive, may find a bit more again when stepped up in trip but this track should suit; not dismissed. Arrives on a hat-trick after pair of big-field wins; further progress can't be ruled out.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -33%) Absurde		16 16/1(-33%)																															(2) Absurde 16/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; ran to form beaten 10l in Melbourne Cup (Group 1) at Flemington last time; returning from a break; progressive; took this in 2024 and placed in it last year; career high mark but classy dual purpose performer holds every chance. Won this in 2024 and third last year but he's a good bit higher in weights now.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +33%) Helvic Dream		22 22/1(+33%)																															(10) Helvic Dream 22/1, Poorly placed to challenge but never threatened beaten 9l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective 2m, acts on heavy and good; classy on Flat where Group 1 winner and placed in Galway Hurdle when last seen over hurdles; may just need this. Edged out Ndaawi in Galway Hurdle last year but demoted to second; off five months.
1	1 (1) (25/1 -25%) Ndaawi		25 25/1(-25%)																															(1) Ndaawi 25/1, Ran to form but unsuited by drop in trip beaten 3/4l off a 66lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; effective 2m, acts on any but suited by decent ground; Galway Hurdle winner now finds himself on stiff mark. Strong record in top handicap hurdles but current mark demands a big career best.
13	13 (13) (25/1 +38%) Williethebuilder		25 25/1(+38%)																															(13) Williethebuilder 25/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start; effective 2m, may not get further, acts on good to soft and good; back in form, recent efforts franked, wants decent pace to aim at; vulnerable in this class. Two Kempton wins this term; good fourth in Scottish County latest but more needed now.
14	14 (14) (25/1 +50%) Sticktotheplan		25 25/1(+50%)																															(14) Sticktotheplan 25/1, Outpaced, unsuited by speed test, needed further when down the field in Festive Handicap Hurdle at Ascot most recent; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective up to 2m4f, acts on good; wants step back up in trip. Needs to recapture level of Grade 2 novice win in autumn; tongue-tied back from wind op.
24	24 (24) (25/1 +62%) Ooh Betty		25 25/1(+62%)																															(24) Ooh Betty 25/1, Game, returned to form benefitting from very easy lead, weak enough form for this level when winning Warfield Mares' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Ascot by 1/2l last time; effective 2m on a sound surface; likes to dominate, needs to build on recent revival back in a handicap. Won mares' Grade 2 latest; third in Scottish Champion off same mark last spring.
9	9 (9) (28/1 +15%) Tripoli Flyer		28 28/1(+15%)																															(9) Tripoli Flyer 28/1, Did plenty early and set it up for classy rival, promising Flat debut when well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; may have reached level but mark fair. Smart effort when second on 2m3f Ascot handicap debut and this sort of test could suit.
7	7 (7) (33/1 +34%) Pinot Gris		33 33/1(+34%)																															(7) Pinot Gris 33/1, Needed run when down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; unexposed for this yard but more needed to defy stiff mark. Behind some of these at Dublin Racing Festival and refitted blinkers need to spark revival.
17	17 (17) (40/1 +20%) Gibbs Island		40 40/1(+20%)																															(17) Gibbs Island 40/1, Bit too free well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh latest; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; handicapper beginning to relent but held on previous visit here and likely outclassed. Impressed on Chepstow reappearance but has failed to fire since; hood back on.
20	20 (20) (40/1 +20%) Bowmore		40 40/1(+20%)																															(20) Bowmore 40/1, Ran to form up in grade, did bit too much too soon 11l third in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m on good; progressing since being returned to hurdles and ridden positively, mark now high enough. In good form at the end of 2025 but needs improvement.
18	18 (18) (50/1 -25%) Hamlet's Night		50 50/1(-25%)																															(18) Hamlet's Night 50/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 58lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start; not given a hard time in Morebattle last time after being forced wide; effective 2m, acts on any but suited by sound surface; useful dual purpose performer, fair mark on Graded form but has been busy and must bounce back. Back from a break to win on AW Flat last month but well beaten in Morebattle since.
19	19 (19) (50/1 +24%) Balko D'ange		50 50/1(+24%)																															(19) Balko D'ange 50/1, Did too much too soon chasing pace when comfortably held in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective at 2m, acts on heavy, good; in good form but this mark asks more. Creditable efforts behind Bowensonfire in big-field handicaps but others better treated.
15	15 (15) (66/1 +0%) Cracking Rhapsody		66 66/1(+0%)																															(15) Cracking Rhapsody 66/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; back down below last winning mark but Scottish form leaves him vulnerable here. No stranger to big handicap success but operating below his best this season.

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

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

Having dominated this contest with nine victories in the past 10 seasons between them, this could be fought out between Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton once more. Sinnatra has proved consistent in five outings over hurdles and an official rating of 133 on his handicap debut looks workable. However, the six-year-old does lack the experience of a big field at this higher level and preference is for Grade 1 winner MURCIA. The Wille Mullins-trained mare arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Leopardstown and she appears to be the most solid proposition. Stablemate Karbau was far from disgraced on his reappearance when second in a Grade 3 at Naas 47 days ago and is a feasible alternative, while the progressive Bowensonfire is at top of his game and merits respect in his hat-trick bid.

Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton have dominated this in recent years and may do so again, with KARBAU preferred to Sinnatra.

Runner-up in this in 2024 and went one better last year; she's the one to beat.
7	7 (7) (5/2 +38%) Panic Attack		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(7) Panic Attack 5/2, Went clear cosily, improved again, weak form for grade when winning Alder Demain & Akers Mares' Chase (Listed) at Newbury by 14l last time; Paddy Power and Coral Gold Cup winner this term; suited by 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good; progressive since change of yards, in the mix. Completed notable h'cap double in November; rain would aid her cause now back down in trip.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +0%) Spindleberry		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(1) Spindleberry 9/2, Yard won this last year; pulled up in Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest where outclassed; Grade 1 winner last spring; best around 2m4f, acts on any but suited by cut; form of Listed wins this term had knocks but classy mare can bounce back against own sex. Pulled up in Irish Gold Cup last time but 5-5 in chases previously; firmly in calculations.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +13%) Only By Night		7 7/1(+13%)																															(4) Only By Night 7/1, Badly hampered early, outpaced, unsuited by way race developed when comfortably held in Paddy's Rewards Club Chase (Grade 1) at Leopardstown last time; narrowly denied in Arkle (Grade 1) here last year; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; stiff tracks suit, can do better than latest and looks a threat for yard which took this a couple of years ago. Last year's Arkle runner-up who won Grade 3 at Naas in November; has an each-way shout.
6	6 (6) (15/2 +17%) Diva Luna		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(6) Diva Luna 15/2, Jumped boldly and had plenty in hand when winning Lady Godiva Mares' Novices' Chase (Listed) at Warwick by 3 1/2l last time; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by cut; looked a natural over fences so far, ran well at this meeting last year and looks very classy; big player. Easy Listed wins on both chase starts and it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -20%) July Flower		12 12/1(-20%)																															(3) July Flower 12/1, Every chance, below form up in grade 13l third in Racing Post Novice Chase (Grade 1) at Leopardstown most recent run; Grade 2 winner here on other track; off a short-break; effective 2-3m, suited by plenty of cut; useful novice chaser may do better against own sex. Won Grade 2 Arkle Trial here in November; probably needs a career best to run into a place.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -21%) Telepathique		40 40/1(-21%)																															(9) Telepathique 40/1, When second beaten 6 1/2l in Yorkshire Silver Vase Mares' Chase (Listed) at Doncaster latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any but suited by decent ground, best going left handed; progressive last term, back in form, capable at Listed/G3 level but this probably too tough and has competition up front. 6.5l second to Spindleberry at Doncaster and now 5lb better off; not ruled out each-way.
5	5 (5) (66/1 +34%) All The Glory		66 66/1(+34%)																															(5) All The Glory 66/1, Outpaced early and poorly placed at sharp track but ran to form finishing well when fourth beaten 5l in Lady Protectress Mares' Chase (Listed) at Huntingdon latest; effective 2-2 1/2m; fair chase mark but out of depth at this level. 4th of six in Listed mares' chase at Huntingdon last month and has bundles to find today.
8	8 (8) (66/1 +34%) Piper Park		66 66/1(+34%)																															(8) Piper Park 66/1, Travelled and just out-battled late back from break on chase debut by race fit rival but a huge effort when second beaten 2l in Lady Protectress Mares' Chase (Listed) at Huntingdon latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft; should come on for debut effort but likely outclassed here. Listed runner-up on chase debut; very unexposed but another chunk of improvement is needed.

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

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

Narrowly beaten in this contest in 2024, DINOBLUE produced a dominant display to land this prize last year. Tough and consistent, Willie Mullins' talented nine-year-old will take all the beating once again, having warmed up nicely for this with a Listed success at Naas last month. She's preferred to stable companion Spindleberry, who faced a tough assignment in the Irish Gold Cup last time, having shown excellent progress over fences in 2025. Panic Attack is on the upgrade and could give selection plenty to think about. Dan Skelton's charge landed the Paddy Power here prior to winning the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury, while the dual Listed winner Diva Luna also arrives in fine form, although she faces a much tougher assignment on this occasion.

Last year's winner DINOBLUE sets a very strong standard and earns the vote ahead of Diva Luna and Spindleberry.

18	18 (18) (5/1 -11%) Thedeviluno		5 5/1(-11%)																															(18) Thedeviluno 5/1, Improved up in trip under patient ride off strong pace when winning River Don Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster by 5l last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on any; form franked, progressing, more to come as a stayer.

Doesn't have a lot to find with Thedeviluno on an early-season maiden clash.
13	13 (13) (9/1 +44%) Moneygarrow		9 9/1(+44%)																															(13) Moneygarrow 9/1, Improved up in trip when winning a novice hurdle at Windsor by 3/4l last time; off a short-break; effective over 2m5f-3m, acts on soft, good; progressing after wind op but bit to find at this level. 3m winner; won't be fazed by the nature of this race and needs a second look.
3	3 (3) (11/1 +31%) Espresso Milan		11 11/1(+31%)																															(3) Espresso Milan 11/1, Yard won this last year; improved up in trip benefitting from pace collapse when winning a novice hurdle at Thurles by 4l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m3f with cut; more to come over hurdles for top yard, worth step up in class but form so far nothing special. 2-2 over hurdles; rejected by Townend but this future chaser is an unknown quantity.
15	15 (15) (12/1 +0%) Spinningayarn		12 12/1(+0%)																															(15) Spinningayarn 12/1, Did it readily, outclassed rivals when winning a novice hurdle at Punchestown by 6 1/2l last time; that form boosted; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and soft; progressive, worth step up in class and trip; in the mix. On running style and most definitely on pedigree, the step up to 3m looks a major plus.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +25%) Kazansky		12 12/1(+25%)																															(8) Kazansky 12/1, When second beaten 8l in Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on soft to heavy; progressive sort, more to come as a stayer but bit to find with Doctor Steinberg on form. Hammered by Doctor Steinberg at Leopardstown last time but has place claims.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +36%) Kripticjim		16 16/1(+36%)																															(11) Kripticjim 16/1, Game, got first run, improved when winning AIS Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) here by a short-head last time; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on soft, good; progressive and worth a go at top level. Grade 2 Cheltenham winner, albeit in a race that has had little bearing on the Festival.
12	12 (12) (18/1 -29%) Mondoui'boy		18 18/1(-29%)																															(12) Mondoui'boy 18/1, Went clear comfortably, improved from debut when winning a novice hurdle at Ascot by 7l last time; that form franked; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on heavy and good to soft; bumper form strong, much more to come over hurdles, worth a step up in class and very interesting. 2-2 over hurdles and well thought of; respected with this longer trip a probable plus.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -25%) Jalon D'oudairies		20 20/1(-25%)																															(6) Jalon D'oudairies 20/1, Did it easily and improved again when winning a maiden hurdle at Naas by 27l last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on yielding, soft and good; bumper form strong, top hurdling prospect whose latest win has been boosted. Long well regarded and came good with an easy maiden win at Naas; respected.
1	1 (1) (22/1 +12%) Doctor Du Mesnil		22 22/1(+12%)																															(1) Doctor Du Mesnil 22/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form up in trip when second beaten 9l in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m-2m3f with cut; step up in trip should suit but maiden has looked slow, needs more. Hopes rest on whether this is more his trip, and pedigree offers mixed messages.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +12%) King's Bucks		22 22/1(+12%)																															(10) King's Bucks 22/1, Below form on the figures but beaten by potentially classy rival when second beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on heavy, yielding; progressing, form franked, still a maiden but outside claims. Third in a Grade 2 here in November; stable's 2019 winner was also a maiden.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +0%) Hipop De Loire		25 25/1(+0%)																															(5) Hipop De Loire 25/1, Yard won this last year; below form back in a handicap down the field in Cesarewitch at Newmarket most recent; completely unexposed in this sphere; top jockey booked; maiden form strong; likely improver Light on jumps experience but battle-hardened and very classy on the Flat.
21	21 (21) (25/1 +38%) Ubatuba		25 25/1(+38%)																															(21) Ubatuba 25/1, Too much to do up in trip having conceded first run, poor ride when second beaten 4l in Prestige Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Haydock latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good to soft and heavy; more to come for top yard at 3m. There's stamina in his pedigree and potential in his profile; a lively outsider.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +50%) Johnny's Jury		25 25/1(+50%)																															(7) Johnny's Jury 25/1, Improved for cosy win when winning a novice hurdle at Carlisle by 7l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f on soft; progressing, form franked but stamina to prove up in trip and class.

Won against her own sex last time (3m) when coping best with the soft ground.
20	20 (20) (40/1 +20%) The Price Of Peace		40 40/1(+20%)																															(20) The Price Of Peace 40/1, Outpaced, ran to form when comfortably held in River Don Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster last time; in good form prior; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft; debut form franked, looks useful stayer and track could suit but this a big ask. Laboured last time behind Thedeviluno and he's not crying out to be backed.
17	17 (17) (40/1 +39%) Tackletommywoowoo		40 40/1(+39%)																															(17) Tackletommywoowoo 40/1, Well beaten in Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest where ground too testing; in good form prior; effective 3m, acts on yielding and good; hugely progressive stayer until latest, can bounce back on quicker ground; outside claims given experience edge.

9	9 (9) (80/1 -60%) Kicour La		80 80/1(-60%)																															(9) Kicour La 80/1, Ran to form, did too much too soon up in trip, set it up for closers when fourth beaten 19l in River Don Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Doncaster latest; effective 2m4f, acts on heavy and soft; more to come but plenty to find with re-opposing rival. Better than he showed at Doncaster but this is a tough assignment.
16	16 (16) (80/1 +0%) Swindon Village		80 80/1(+0%)																															(16) Swindon Village 80/1, Did it comforatbly, improved again when winning a novice hurdle at Newbury by 4l last time; effective 2m4f, acts on soft; steadily progressive, further improvement likely but stamina to prove. A big lad who impressed from the front at Newbury but this is a huge hike in class.

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

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

The Irish have dominated this event over the last decade, winning seven times, and are likely to improve on that record based on the ante-post market. The leading English hope would have to be Kripticjim, who just prevailed in Grade 2 company at this course in January and this longer trip could bring out improvement. Out of the four Willie Mullins sends to post, Doctor Steinberg is the clear choice after beating Thedeviluno at Navan prior to bolting up at the top level at Leopardstown last month. The six-year-old should mount a bold bid in protecting his unbeaten record over timber, but the value may lie with SPINNINGAYARN. Gordon Elliott's gelding has shaped as if crying out for this step up in distance when winning comfortably at Fairyhouse and Punchestown the last twice, so with the potential for bundles of improvement, he looks the one to side with.

With feasible excuses last time, KING'S BUCKS is interesting on the strength of his third in a Grade 2 here in November.

11	11 (11) (11/4 +31%) The Jukebox Man		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(11) The Jukebox Man 11/4, Winner of two G1s; jumped boldly in the main, game, improved again when winning King George VI Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton by a nose last time beating a number of these; narrowly denied in 2024 Albert Bartlett (Grade 1) here; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft, good; progressive, leading Gold Cup contender now and extra distance could suit. Rallied for narrow win in breathtaking King George; 4-4 over fences and he's a key player.
3	3 (3) (10/3 +5%) Gaelic Warrior		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(3) Gaelic Warrior 10/3, Winner of five G1s; never looked like reeling in impressive stablemate when second beaten 5l in Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; effective 2m-3m1f, acts on soft, good; can be tricky and freegoing but top class, John Durkan win amongst the best form on offer; stamina not assured but will go close if holds up. String of excellent performances since Grade 1 Bowl win at Aintree last April; respected.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +53%) Haiti Couleurs		4 4/1(+53%)																															(6) Haiti Couleurs 4/1, Ran to best up in class but race beat very little as rivals underperformed when winning Denman Chase (Grade 2) at Newbury by 7l last time; suited by 3m+, acts on any; progressive Irish and Welsh National winner, more needed to figure in Gold Cup as won't be able to dominate so easily. Highly progressive 9yo who should prove well suited to the demands of today's race.
8	8 (8) (5/1 -25%) Jango Baie		5 5/1(-25%)																															(8) Jango Baie 5/1, Winner of two G1s including Arkle here last year; when fourth beaten 1/2l in King George VI Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton latest where forced wide and left with too much to do at sharp track; effective 2-3m, acts on any but suited by decent ground; top class, unexposed over staying trips and progressing; could reverse King George form, tough to beat if doing so. Very close 4th in King George thriller and may well improve again for today's stiffer test.
7	7 (7) (15/2 +6%) Inothewayurthinkin		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(7) Inothewayurthinkin 15/2, Winner of two G1s including this last year; fell when beaten in Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; effective up to 3m3f, acts on soft, good; needs further than 3m, likely brought along with this in mind but hasn't shown anything this term so very risky. Disappointing this season but won this by 6l last year; attracted market support last week.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Grey Dawning		12 12/1(+14%)																															(5) Grey Dawning 12/1, Winner of two G1s; 5l third in Cotswold Chase (Grade 2) here most recent run where left with too much to do behind Spillane's Tower after bad error; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on any but suited by cut; form of Betfair Chase win weak enough; remain competitive at top level over staying trips with cut, needs more to win at spring festivals. Won Grade 1 Betfair Chase at Haydock in November but may just lack the required class.
10	10 (10) (16/1 -14%) Spillane's Tower		16 16/1(-14%)																															(10) Spillane's Tower 16/1, Winner of two G1s; appreciated return to easier ground when winning Cotswold Chase (Grade 2) here by 3/4l last time; holds Grey Dawning and L'Homme Presse on that; effective 2 1/2-3m, needs cut; top class novice back to best latest, should remain competitive at top level in spring festivals though slight stamina doubts in strongly run Gold Cup. Won the Grade 2 Cotswold Chase here in January but needs an even bigger performance today.
2	2 (2) (25/1 +38%) Firefox		25 25/1(+38%)																															(2) Firefox 25/1, Improved just flattening out over stretching trip when fourth beaten 14l in Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; best at around 2 1/2m; consistent, has probably reached level, likely outstayed and outclassed. 14l 4th in Irish Gold Cup; he'll be doing very well if he betters that finishing position.
1	1 (1) (28/1 +30%) Envoi Allen		28 28/1(+30%)																															(1) Envoi Allen 28/1, Winner of 10 G1s; yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; when winning BetVictor Champion Chase (Grade 1) at Down Royal by 4l last time; effective 2 1/2m on good, gets sharp 3m; good record fresh and at track, should travel but stamina concerns. Three Cheltenham Festival wins but now 12 and today's task is likely to prove beyond him.
9	9 (9) (50/1 +24%) L'homme Presse		50 50/1(+24%)																															(9) L'homme Presse 50/1, Winner of two G1s; when second beaten 7l in Denman Chase (Grade 2) at Newbury latest; effective 3m, acts on soft, good to soft; bit below top level nowadays but still useful, goes well at Cheltenham; well held in this in 2024. 3-time course winner; runner-up on his three starts this term; this 11yo is up against it.
4	4 (4) (66/1 +56%) Gold Tweet		66 66/1(+56%)																															(4) Gold Tweet 66/1, Below form back over hurdles comfortably held in a conditions race at Fontainebleau last time; effective up to 2m6f, suited by cut; classy chaser in France but struggled in 2024 Betfair Chase on sole start to date in UK over fences; out of depth. Runner-up in French Grade 1 in November but this French raider would be a shock winner.

16:00 Cheltenham (Class 1) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Native River's 2018 triumph has been an anomaly for the home side in the face of Irish dominance over the last 10 years, but JANGO BAIE could set the record straight this time around. Fourth in the King George, behind The Jukebox Man (winner) and Gaelic Warrior (third), in a pulsating finish on Boxing Day. However, Nicky Henderson's charge was probably found wanting for a bit of tactical speed that day, but he looks tailor-made for this sort of trip and while last year's Arkle triumph still lives fresh in the memory, he can make his bid for glory where others may falter. The aforementioned pair are unlikely to go down without a fight and last year's winner Inothewayurthinkin shouldn't be underestimated despite a few below-par efforts this term. Haiti Couleurs continues to go from strength to strength. He would be an extremely popular winner but so would any of the home contingent and spare a thought for Spillane's Tower, who showed he was up for a scrap when defeating L'Homme Presse in the Costwold Chase in January.

Today's test looks ideal for HAITI COULEURS (nap) who is the pick ahead of Jango Baie and last year's winner Inothewayurthinkin.

4	4 (4) (6/1 +25%) Con's Roc		6 6/1(+25%)																															(4) Con's Roc 6/1, Ran to form but unsuited by track 1 1/4l third in the Hunters Chase at Down Royal most recent run; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 3m, suited by cut; progressive, worth step up in grade, stiffer test could suit. An up-and-coming 9yo with so few runs on the board; a likely improver over this far.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +29%) Barton Snow		10 10/1(+29%)																															(1) Barton Snow 10/1, Improved again back under rules when winning a hunter chase at Ludlow by 12l last time; effective 2m-2m7f on a sound surface; most progressive, should come on for latest and worth this step up in class, does have stamina to prove.

18	18 (18) (12/1 +0%) Stattler		12 12/1(+0%)																															(18) Stattler 12/1, Did it comfortably but needed every yard at sharp track when winning a hunter chase at Fakenham by 7 1/2l last time; this track should suit much better; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m4f-3m6f, acts on soft and good; was classy, unexposed in hunter chases and a big player. Past Festival winner; strong stayer who could be running on when others have cried enough.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +25%) Golden Son		12 12/1(+25%)																															(5) Golden Son 12/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; when winning a hunter chase at Taunton by 11l last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts with cut; inconsistent but unexposed in hunter chases, could be useful recruit but does have stamina to prove. Useful handicapper and 2-2 in hunter chases; could have a say if he sees out the trip.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +0%) Chemical Energy		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) Chemical Energy 14/1, Ran to form when winning a conditions race at Lingstown by 6l last time; returning from a break; effective 3m+, suited by sound surface; in form in points, has run well at this track over further at higher levels. Formerly smart and his autumn point wins may have given him some renewed belief.
12	12 (12) (18/1 -29%) Music Drive		18 18/1(-29%)																															(12) Music Drive 18/1, Bit below form when second beaten 3l in a conditions race at Revesby Park at the start of the year; ran well in this last year and won at the track after; should come on for latest; each way claims Beaten in his recent point; a repeat of last year's fourth in this would be a result.
22	22 (22) (18/1 -29%) Willitgoahead		18 18/1(-29%)																															(22) Willitgoahead 18/1, Unseated in a hunter chase at Thurles latest; off a short-break; effective 3m-3m2f, acts on good to soft, good; inconsistent and can race lazily but a threat if bringing best. 3rd in 2025; eight is no age in this discipline; there's a suspicion he has more to give.

Stamina queries over this far but his trainer has won this three times; visor is new.

16:40 Cheltenham (Class 2) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Wonderwall is likely to be popular after winning this last year, and it does look as if this has been his target since, with one winning run in a Dromahane point-to-point in November the only time he has been seen since. The 10-year-old will arrive here fresher than most and has to be noted, along with Its On The Line, who was second for Emmet Mullins. Both can go well, but Paul Nicholls has won this twice with Pacha Du Polder in the last 10 years and has a lively contender here with GOLDEN SON. A winner at Warwick and Taunton this year from two starts, he could find further improvement at the age of eight.

Last year's first three home have clear claims and making a case for them brings the lightly raced CON'S ROC firmly into the equation.

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

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

Deemed good enough for the Grade 1 Turners Novices' Hurdle here last year, KEL HISTOIRE could have enough in hand off 137 to win this on his handicap debut. Runner-up in the Moscow Flyer last season, a race in which Willie Mullins has historically run his better novice hurdlers, the six-year-old is of real interest and this has probably been the plan all season. Another unexposed hurdler from the same yard is Roc Dino and he's a handicap debutant to note having finished behind Mighty Park at Fairyhouse and El Cairos at Thurles, both of whom ran in the Supreme on Tuesday. Of the others, keep a close eye on Air Of Entitlement, Jump Allen and East India Express.

Particularly interesting is WENDROCK who brings significant potential returned to 2m4f. Andashan is second pick.

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.
