1
1st (3) (9/1 +0%) Chantry House
9/1(+0%)
(3) Chantry House 9/1, Supreme Hurdle third 12 months ago and made it 2-3 over fences with comfortable success in a Wetherby novice last month. Capable of better still, but this demands a sizeable step forward.
2
2nd (7) (14/1 +22%) Fusil Raffles
14/1(+22%)
(7) Fusil Raffles 14/1, Smart hurdler who made it 3-4 over fences in 2m4f novice here in December, though he got up only late on as runner-up faltered. Goes well fresh but he's still not the most fluent of jumpers.
3
3rd (1) (16/1 +43%) Asterion Forlonge
16/1(+43%)
(1) Asterion Forlonge 16/1, Smart winning hurdler who has matched that level over fences, though he was completing for first time in three runs when fourth to stablemate Monkfish in the Flogas Novices' Chase at Leopardstown.
4
4th (4) (14/1 -17%) Chatham Street Lad
14/1(-17%)
(4) Chatham Street Lad 14/1, Much improved when easily landing Caspian Caviar Gold Cup here (2m4f) in December. Not quite as effective back in trip when third at Fairyhouse a month later and this is a hike in class.
5th
5th (8) (10/1 +9%) Shan Blue
10/1(+9%)
(8) Shan Blue 10/1, Completed hat-trick over fences in Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day and similar form when second to Sporting John in Scilly Isles at Sandown. Jumping looks an asset.
6th
6th (2) (40/1 -21%) Blackbow
40/1(-21%)
(2) Blackbow 40/1, Made winning chase debut at Navan in November but stable-companion Energumene has comfortably had his measure on both completed starts since. No disgrace in that and step up in trip should suit.
7th
7th (5) (33/1 +0%) Darver Star
33/1(+0%)
(5) Darver Star 33/1, Smart hurdler (third in last year's Champion Hurdle). Reached similar level over fences when second to Franco de Port in Leopardstown Grade 1 over Christmas but well held there since.
|F|
|F| (6) (0.44/1 +0%) Envoi Allen
0.44/1(+0%)
(6) Envoi Allen 0.44/1, Still on a remarkable unbeaten run and 3-3 over fences after easily landing Grade 3 at Punchestown in January. Top-class prospect who has scored at last two Festivals. Hard to beat for new yard.
LTO Selection:
13:20 Cheltenham Maiden Chase (Class 1)
20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(16) Mrs Milner 12/1, Winner on 2m Galway reappearance in July. Good efforts in defeat around 3m on next 3 starts. Fell latest. Still well handicapped and player if none the worse for that.
2
2nd (1) (3.33/1 +45%) The Bosses Oscar
3.33/1(+45%)
(1) The Bosses Oscar 3.33/1, Winning return at Thurles in October and runner-up in 3m handicaps both starts since, shaping particularly well in a big field at Leopardstown over Christmas. Lofty mark but still high on shortlist.
3
3rd (18) (10/1 +0%) Come On Teddy
10/1(+0%)
(18) Come On Teddy 10/1, Left reappearance run well behind when landing competitive C&D handicap in December. Creditable 5 lengths third of 13 to reopposing Imperial Alcazar at Warwick. Likely to give another good account.
4
4th (25) (7/1 +13%) Milliner
7/1(+13%)
(25) Milliner 7/1, Lightly-raced 8-y-o who has posted a couple of good runs in handicaps since returning from an absence, proving stamina for 3m when third at Punchestown 17 days ago. Has crept in and he's interesting.
5th
5th (11) (8.5/1 -31%) Champagne Platinum
8.5/1(-31%)
(11) Champagne Platinum 8.5/1, Well backed in Kim Muir last season but he's never entirely convinced over fences and has shaped well back hurdling this time round, very much catching the eye at Haydock last month. Big player.
6th
6th (6) (28/1 +15%) Ask Dillon
28/1(+15%)
(6) Ask Dillon 28/1, Drawn a blank since his novice season but he's posted 4 very solid efforts in defeat in staying handicap hurdles this season. Another from this yard who could be in the shake-up
7th
7th (4) (20/1 +0%) Dandy Mag
20/1(+0%)
(4) Dandy Mag 20/1, Beat The Bosses Oscar and Mrs Milner when winning 20-runner event at Leopardstown in December. Not in the same form when only midfield there in February but could easily bounce back.
8th
8th (9) (18/1 +10%) Spiritofthegames
18/1(+10%)
(9) Spiritofthegames 18/1, Another good effort in a competitive handicap chase here when second in Paddy Power Gold Cup in November. Second over 3m at Chepstow back hurdling last time. Possibly more to come over hurdles.
9th
9th (23) (40/1 -21%) Everglow
40/1(-21%)
(23) Everglow 40/1, Ascot maiden winner in December who has made a solid start in handicaps since, 10¾ lengths third of 12 to reopposing Bushypark at Haydock (3m) latterly. First-time blinkers added to tongue tie.
|U|
|U| (21) (18/1 +5%) Storm Goddess
18/1(+5%)
(21) Storm Goddess 18/1, Multiple hurdles winner, the latest in 21f Kempton handicap (21f) in November. Not beaten far in 3m listed race there 2 weeks later and warmed up for this with a run in a jumpers bumper last month.
|U|
|U| (24) (28/1 +58%) Kansas City Chief
28/1(+58%)
(24) Kansas City Chief 28/1, Veteran who stepped up on his comeback run when third over C&D in October. Not at best both runs since, finishing a remote third at Wincanton latterly. Sixth in this 12 months ago.
10th
10th (22) (125/1 -56%) Potters Hedger
125/1(-56%)
(22) Potters Hedger 125/1, Suited by the emphasis on stamina when landing 3m heavy-ground Haydock handicap last month in a change of headgear. Only fifth back there since, though. Others more obvious.
11th
11th (14) (22/1 +56%) Anything Will Do
22/1(+56%)
(14) Anything Will Do 22/1, Not disgraced in competitive 3m Leopardstown handicaps on his last 2 starts but will need a career best to overcome this mark. Others hold stronger claims.
12th
12th (3) (16/1 +11%) Brinkley
16/1(+11%)
(3) Brinkley 16/1, Very progressive bar a blip on his Exeter reappearance, getting his career firmly back on track with a pair of wins in cheekpieces since. Put up another 8 lb but could easily have more to give.
13th
13th (2) (50/1 +0%) Unowhatimeanharry
50/1(+0%)
(2) Unowhatimeanharry 50/1, Confirmed he's still capable of smart form when landing handicap at Aintree on return from 8 months off in November. Effort best excused next time and kept fresh for this since.
14th
14th (10) (20/1 +9%) Storm Arising
20/1(+9%)
(10) Storm Arising 20/1, Progressive stepped up to around 3m this term, winning at Lingfield and Chepstow and good second at Sandown in between. Further 4 lb rise may not prevent another prominent showing.
15th
15th (7) (40/1 +0%) Copperhead
40/1(+0%)
(7) Copperhead 40/1, Grade 2 novice chase winner last term. Things haven't gone to plan this time round but there were slightly better signs at Chepstow last time and his yard has been among the winners in recent days.
16th
16th (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Imperial Alcazar
5.5/1(-10%)
(5) Imperial Alcazar 5.5/1, Shaped as if needing run on reappearance and very much back on the up with 25f Warwick win in January. That form looks very solid and he's a leading contender here despite an 8 lb rise.
17th
17th (19) (125/1 -25%) Perfect Man
125/1(-25%)
(19) Perfect Man 125/1, Ended time with Olly Murphy with Leicester selling win in December. Has run creditably on 2 of 3 starts for new yard since but vulnerable in a race as competitive as this. Visor replaces cheekpieces.
18th
18th (8) (40/1 -21%) Keeper Hill
40/1(-21%)
(8) Keeper Hill 40/1, Smart but clumsy chaser who has performed with credit when third back over hurdles on his last 2 starts, the latter a Musselburgh handicap over 3¼m. Has cheekpieces on for the first time.
19th
19th (13) (50/1 -79%) No Comment
50/1(-79%)
(13) No Comment 50/1, Let down by his jumping over fences last term and back in form over hurdles this season, including narrowly denied at Hereford in December. Set for third when falling 2 out latest. Back up in trip.
|PU|
|PU| (17) (40/1 -21%) Redford Road
40/1(-21%)
(17) Redford Road 40/1, Useful staying novice hurdler. Didn't really click for him over fences to end 2020 but he made a sound return to hurdles when fourth to Bushypark at Haydock last month. Each-way claims.

1
1st (1) (3/1 +50%) Allaho
3/1(+50%)
(1) Allaho 3/1, Right back on track dropped in trip and high-class effort when readily landing the odds in Grade 2 at Thurles. Placed at last two Festivals and unexposed over 2m4f so he's a major player. Tongue tied.
2
2nd (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Fakir D'oudairies
5.5/1(+8%)
(4) Fakir D'oudairies 5.5/1, High-class chaser. Best effort this season when very good 8l second of 6 to Chacun Pour Soi in Dublin Chase at Leopardstown last month. Has good record here so he shouldn't be underestimated.
3
3rd (14) (25/1 +24%) Tornado Flyer
25/1(+24%)
(14) Tornado Flyer 25/1, High-class chaser. Posted excellent second in John Durkan Chase but hasn't built on it since, never-dangerous fourth in Dublin Chase at Leopardstown last time. Others preferred.
4
4th (7) (22/1 +33%) Kalashnikov
22/1(+33%)
(7) Kalashnikov 22/1, Without a win since landing Grade 1 event at Aintree in 2018/19 but has run some good races in defeat since, third in the Denman Chase at Newbury last time. Has it to do in re-fitted headgear.
5th
5th (5) (66/1 -32%) Fanion D'estruval
66/1(-32%)
(5) Fanion D'estruval 66/1, Smart chaser but without a win this term and below-par fourth of 6 to Sceau Royal in Game Spirit Chase at Newbury last month. Has plenty to find on form.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (4/1 +11%) Min
4/1(+11%)
(9) Min 4/1, Top-class chaser who gained deserved win in this race 12 months ago. Scored on return in John Durkan but rare poor run in Dublin Chase last month. Sort to bounce back as he bids to defend his crown.
|PU|
|PU| (13) (7.5/1 +17%) Samcro
7.5/1(+17%)
(13) Samcro 7.5/1, High-class chaser who landed Golden Miller a year ago. Shaped quite well on return when third in Down Royal Grade 2 but poor effort in Savills Chase only run since. Needs to bounce back.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (8/1 -7%) Melon
8/1(-7%)
(8) Melon 8/1, High-class hurdler/chaser. Excellent third in Savills Chase over Christmas at Leopardstown but last of five in Irish Gold Cup there since. Has fine record here though and fancied to be back on song.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (8/1 -7%) Imperial Aura
8/1(-7%)
(6) Imperial Aura 8/1, Festival winner last March who continued his progress with ready win in Ascot Grade 2 in November. Usually fine jumper but unseated rider second at Kempton only run since. Goes well fresh. Claims.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (8/1 +0%) Mister Fisher
8/1(+0%)
(10) Mister Fisher 8/1, Smart novice last term who got right back on track with gutsy victory in Peterborough Chase here (2m4f) in December by 1¾l from Kalashnikov. Still on the up so can make presence felt.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (28/1 +30%) Chris's Dream
28/1(+30%)
(2) Chris's Dream 28/1, High-class chaser. Failed narrowly in Champion Chase at Down Royal on return but ran poorly in John Durkan in December and not seen out since. Has won off a break before but this is asking a lot.

1
1st (3) (12/1 +0%) Flooring Porter
12/1(+0%)
(3) Flooring Porter 12/1, Has been firmly on the up this season and made the breakthrough at the top level with an emphatic success from the front in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown 80 days ago. Could improve again.
2
2nd (12) (5/1 +9%) Sire Du Berlais
5/1(+9%)
(12) Sire Du Berlais 5/1, Landed Pertemps Final again last season and has shaped as if retaining all of his ability this term, so he ranks as the main danger to Paisley Park having likely been primed for a big run.
3
3rd (9) (2.25/1 -13%) Paisley Park
2.25/1(-13%)
(9) Paisley Park 2.25/1, Still the leading staying hurdler, a point underlined by his strong-finishing victory in the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot in December. Should take all the beating as he looks to regain the crown.
4
4th (2) (10/1 +38%) Beacon Edge
10/1(+38%)
(2) Beacon Edge 10/1, Smart hurdler who didn't need to improve to win 6-runner Boyne Hurdle at Navan (from Fury Road) last time and may well benefit from the step up in trip, so he's no forlorn hope.
5th
5th (13) (11/1 -22%) The Storyteller
11/1(-22%)
(13) The Storyteller 11/1, Smart hurdler who has developed into a very classy chaser and ran a cracker when second in the Irish Gold Cup last time. Definite claims if he can replicate that level back in this sphere.
6th
6th (14) (16/1 -45%) Vinndication
16/1(-45%)
(14) Vinndication 16/1, Most likeable and progressive chaser who took it up another notch when 2 lengths second to Cyrname in Charlie Hall on reappearance. Fell on only subsequent start but has the class to get involved.
7th
7th (1) (50/1 -25%) Bacardys
50/1(-25%)
(1) Bacardys 50/1, Smart hurdler who ran up to best when third in this last season. Somewhat disappointing this term however, so unlikely to make a similar impact.
8th
8th (15) (100/1 +0%) Younevercall
100/1(+0%)
(15) Younevercall 100/1, Smart hurdler who was fourth to Paisley Park in the Long Walk at Ascot but was pulled up in the Relkeel at Kempton subsequently. Up against it.
9th
9th (5) (25/1 +24%) If The Cap Fits
25/1(+24%)
(5) If The Cap Fits 25/1, Grade 1 winning hurdler who scored easily at Ffos Las on chase debut. Hasn't looked a natural upped in class since, but return to the smaller obstacles should suit. Not totally dismissed.
|F|
|F| (7) (11/1 +0%) Lisnagar Oscar
11/1(+0%)
(7) Lisnagar Oscar 11/1, Last year's winner who looked right back to his best when runner-up in the Rendlesham at Haydock last time, so likely to give a good account once more.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (4/1 +38%) Fury Road
4/1(+38%)
(4) Fury Road 4/1, Smart and likeable hurdler who was a narrow third in the Albert Bartlett 12 months ago and was narrowly denied by Beacon Edge in the Boyne Hurdle at Navan recently. Place claims.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (50/1 +38%) Reserve Tank
50/1(+38%)
(10) Reserve Tank 50/1, Grade 1 winning novice hurdler who ran to a similar level over fences last season. Probably needed the run when only fifth in National Spirit at Fontwell on return and faces a stiffer task, now.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (66/1 +0%) Sam Spinner
66/1(+0%)
(11) Sam Spinner 66/1, High-class hurdler who made it 3-3 over fences last term but has been most disappointing on both outings this term, including in Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury 111 days ago.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (66/1 +6%) Lil Rockerfeller
66/1(+6%)
(6) Lil Rockerfeller 66/1, Last hurdling win came well over 3 years ago and, while he's posted a couple of good efforts in second this term, he's expected to come up short in a first-time visor.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (150/1 -88%) Main Fact
150/1(-88%)
(8) Main Fact 150/1, Made it 9 on the spin when scoring on return to hurdles off a mark of 147 over C&D in November. Has come up short in better company since, though, and similar story likely to unfold.
LTO Selection:
15:05 Cheltenham Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(14) The Shunter 2.25/1, Has been turned inside out by this yard, bolting up in the Greatwood Hurdle here and Morebattle at Kelso (shaped well behind A Wave of The Sea in Leopardstown handicap chase in between). More to come.
2
2nd (7) (5/1 +17%) Farclas
5/1(+17%)
(7) Farclas 5/1, 2018 Triumph winner who scored on his first 3 starts over fences and has run well in some red-hot handicaps in Ireland this season. Big effort looks forthcoming.
3
3rd (1) (50/1 -79%) Top Notch
50/1(-79%)
(1) Top Notch 50/1, Looked very rusty after 11 months off when sixth in the Peterborough in December and could be much closer to form after a wind op now. Twice placed at the Festival. Cheekpieces on. Handicap debut.
4
4th (11) (22/1 +33%) Coole Cody
22/1(+33%)
(11) Coole Cody 22/1, Big improver over fences for new yard this term, landing the Paddy Power Gold Cup in gutsy fashion here in November. Suspect recent Kempton run will have him spot on for this. Wouldn't dismiss.
5th
5th (4) (20/1 +20%) Assemble
20/1(+20%)
(4) Assemble 20/1, Successful return in 21f Fairyhouse maiden chase and even better when following home Envoi Allen next time. Has fallen twice since, though, hardly the ideal preparation for this handicap/Festival bow.
6th
6th (5) (40/1 +0%) Huntsman Son
40/1(+0%)
(5) Huntsman Son 40/1, Made light of 18-month absence with impressive victory in 19f Wetherby listed handicap chase on return and tanked along before being pulled up in the mud here in December. Probably no back number.
7th
7th (2) (12/1 -33%) Caribean Boy
12/1(-33%)
(2) Caribean Boy 12/1, Taking winner of 20f Newbury Grade 2 in November and ran respectably, for all he couldn't get on terms over the minimum trip, in Sandown handicap last time. Could have a bigger effort in the locker.
8th
8th (17) (14/1 -17%) Sully D'oc Aa
14/1(-17%)
(17) Sully D'oc Aa 14/1, Confirmed previous promise over fences when successful on return at Ascot and fine third from 10 lb higher at Newbury (19.8f) in November, losing momentum with a mistake over the last. Interesting.
9th
9th (15) (40/1 +0%) Kiltealy Briggs
40/1(+0%)
(15) Kiltealy Briggs 40/1, Useful winning hurdler at up to 23f in the mud. Has matched that form over fences this season, but without success, and suspect the handicapper has his measure.
|F|
|F| (9) (16/1 -45%) Fils D'oudairies
16/1(-45%)
(9) Fils D'oudairies 16/1, Lightly-raced novice chase winner who has twice tackled top company since his Navan success. Pulled too hard at Leopardstown last time and this scenario should suit him better on handicap debut.
10th
10th (6) (25/1 +0%) Oldgrangewood
25/1(+0%)
(6) Oldgrangewood 25/1, Did well last term after wind op, winning Newbury and C&D handicaps before a good fourth in this off 1 lb higher. Rare jumping lapse at Warwick after 12 weeks off last time and should bounce back.
11th
11th (8) (14/1 +13%) Happy Diva
14/1(+13%)
(8) Happy Diva 14/1, Likeable mare who won the 2019 Paddy Power Gold Cup here and was second off a higher mark in this 12 months ago. Rare poor run at Warwick last time but likely to be much closer to form today.
12th
12th (23) (40/1 +0%) Eamon An Cnoic
40/1(+0%)
(23) Eamon An Cnoic 40/1, Campaigned over hurdles of late, winning 2m handicap at Sandown last month. Fourth in this off 7 lb higher 2 years ago but his jumping has often failed him over fences in the meantime.
13th
13th (20) (66/1 -65%) The Unit
66/1(-65%)
(20) The Unit 66/1, Dual novice chase winner over this sort of trip in 2018 and all his ability remains judged by latest third at Warwick (closely matched with Champagne Court). Place claims if building on that.
14th
14th (22) (28/1 -12%) Dead Right
28/1(-12%)
(22) Dead Right 28/1, Resumed progress right away starting out on only his second season over fences after 10 months off, winning 21.4f Market Rasen handicap in September. Will clearly need more again 6 months on.
15th
15th (12) (8/1 +20%) A Wave Of The Sea
8/1(+20%)
(12) A Wave Of The Sea 8/1, Grade 1-winning hurdler who improved massively on previous chasing form when landing red-hot Leopardstown handicap last month (The Shunter third). Stiffer test will suit and a very interesting runner.
16th
16th (13) (80/1 -21%) Two Taffs
80/1(-21%)
(13) Two Taffs 80/1, Useful chaser for Dan Skelton, third in the novice handicap here in 2017. Possibly needed the run for new yard when supported at Leicester in November but some feat to bounce back and take this now.
17th
17th (16) (40/1 -43%) Paddy's Poem
40/1(-43%)
(16) Paddy's Poem 40/1, Tremendously consistent and gained reward for a couple of good placed efforts when scoring at Wincanton a fortnight ago. This is tougher, though he could have more to offer over this sort of trip.
18th
18th (3) (18/1 -29%) Mister Whitaker
18/1(-29%)
(3) Mister Whitaker 18/1, Good record here, successful in the novice handicap chase at the 2018 Festival and beaten just 3 lengths in third in this off 2 lb higher last year. Lightly raced since and primed for a big run.
19th
19th (19) (28/1 +15%) Champagne Court
28/1(+15%)
(19) Champagne Court 28/1, Jumped well when winning at Sandown/Plumpton over this sort of trip last term and better signs again at Warwick 3 weeks ago having fallen plenty in the weights. Could outrun big odds.
|PU|
|PU| (21) (50/1 +50%) Maypole Class
50/1(+50%)
(21) Maypole Class 50/1, Progressed well initially over fences this season, winning handicaps around 20f/21f at Bangor and Fakenham. Reportedly lame at Wetherby just 4 weeks ago, though. Looks outclassed.

1st (14) (5/1 +38%) Telmesomethinggirl
5/1(+38%)
(14) Telmesomethinggirl 5/1, Notched third hurdles success when making all at Listowel in September. Solid third back from a break in a big-field Leopardstown handicap and she's certainly not out of place in this line up.
2
2nd (8) (22/1 +12%) Magic Daze
22/1(+12%)
(8) Magic Daze 22/1, Point winner who built on promise of Rules debut third at Leopardstown (beaten by two very promising novices) when landing the odds in a Clonmel maiden hurdle. Open to more improvement.
3

(10) Mighty Blue 12/1, Useful performer on the Flat and has made the frame on each of her 3 starts since switched to hurdles, fourth in the Fairyhouse Grade 3 won by Roseys Hollow last time. Needs to raise her game.
4
4th (3) (28/1 -56%) Skyace
28/1(-56%)
(3) Skyace 28/1, Has taken sizeable steps forward the last twice, belying odds of 66/1 in a Down Royal Grade 3 prior to easily landing a listed race at Punchestown. More needed here, but shouldn't be underestimated.
5th
5th (15) (9/1 +25%) The Glancing Queen
9/1(+25%)
(15) The Glancing Queen 9/1, Useful bumper performer and successful on 2 of her 4 starts switched to hurdles this season. No match for Wilde About Oscar in a listed race at Exeter latest, but that was still a respectable effort.
6th
6th (6) (8/1 -14%) Glens Of Antrim
8/1(-14%)
(6) Glens Of Antrim 8/1, Has shown plenty of promise in a trio of maiden hurdles, well clear of the rest when chasing home a good prospect at Naas last time. Not ruled out.
7th
7th (2) (7.5/1 -25%) Roseys Hollow
7.5/1(-25%)
(2) Roseys Hollow 7.5/1, Third time lucky over hurdles in a Fairyhouse maiden in January. Improved when seeing off Royal Kahala and Gauloise in Grade 3 Solerina back there the following month and likely has more to offer.
8th
8th (9) (33/1 +18%) Martello Sky
33/1(+18%)
(9) Martello Sky 33/1, Dual bumper winner who made it 2-2 in this sphere when landing a decent Market Rasen novice last month. This is a much stiffer assignment, but her form stacks up well and she remains with potential.
9th
9th (13) (4.5/1 +18%) Royal Kahala
4.5/1(+18%)
(13) Royal Kahala 4.5/1, Decisive winner of first 2 hurdles starts and lost no caste in defeat when 2 lengths second to Roseys Hollow in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 latest. 9 lb better off with that rival now and she's a big player.
10th
10th (12) (50/1 -79%) Pont Aval
50/1(-79%)
(12) Pont Aval 50/1, Pulled up on hurdles debut at Limerick back from a 20-month absence in December, but left that form well behind when landing a big-field Punchestown novice next time. Open to improvement.
11th
11th (1) (8/1 -14%) Gauloise
8/1(-14%)
(1) Gauloise 8/1, Bumper winner on sole start in France and winner of first 2 starts in this sphere at Thurles. Solid 3½ lengths third to Roseys Hollow at Fairyhouse last time and capable of better still.
12th
12th (7) (7/1 +0%) Hook Up
7/1(+0%)
(7) Hook Up 7/1, Did the job well when opening hurdles account at Fairyhouse in November prior to chasing home Royal Kahala back there in January. Solid fourth in Grade 1 company latest and she needs considering.
13th
13th (5) (40/1 +0%) Allavina
40/1(+0%)
(5) Allavina 40/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who chased home Martello Sky on hurdles debut at Fakenham in December. Winner of both subsequent starts and appeals as the type to go on improving.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (28/1 -12%) Perfect Myth
28/1(-12%)
(11) Perfect Myth 28/1, Progressive since returning to action in August, winning 3 times and fine second at Wincanton in November. Not disgraced in a jumpers bumper last time and she's not without each-way hope.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (150/1 -20%) Will Victory
150/1(-20%)
(4) Will Victory 150/1, Flat/dual hurdles winner in France. Runner-up both completed starts over hurdles for new yard this season and wasn't beaten far in a jumpers bumper last time, but she looks up against it here.

1st (3) (3/1 +54%) Mount Ida
3/1(+54%)
(3) Mount Ida 3/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who proved strong at the finish when landing Grade 3 mares' chase at Cork (16.7f) in December. No match for Colreevy since but switch to handicaps/longer trip both positives now.
2
2nd (10) (33/1 +0%) Cloudy Glen
33/1(+0%)
(10) Cloudy Glen 33/1, Improved when landing Southern National at Fontwell on reappearance but efforts have been typically mixed since, unseating having jumped left at Ascot (23.8f) latest. Still, not entirely ruled out.
3
3rd (7) (5.5/1 +45%) Shantou Flyer
5.5/1(+45%)
(7) Shantou Flyer 5.5/1, Useful chaser who boasts a solid record at the Festival, again placed in the Foxhunters 12 months ago. Good efforts in defeat at Wincanton in recent weeks and good showing not ruled out.
4
4th (8) (9/1 -13%) Hold The Note
9/1(-13%)
(8) Hold The Note 9/1, Still winless in this sphere but ran a solid race when third in novices' handicap chase at this meeting 12 months ago. Mixed bag this term but latest Newbury second was a solid display. Possibilities.
5th
5th (4) (16/1 +0%) Storm Control
16/1(+0%)
(4) Storm Control 16/1, Has looked better than ever this season, making it 2-2 around here despite idling in C&D Grade 3 handicap in December. Possibly not 100% at Warwick in January and better showing not ruled out.
6th
6th (5) (16/1 +43%) Go Another One
16/1(+43%)
(5) Go Another One 16/1, Versatile sort who added pair of minor hurdle contests to his tally (at around 3m) last summer. Exploits were mixed thereafter and his jumping failed to pass muster in this race last season.
7th
7th (15) (80/1 -60%) Almazhar Garde
80/1(-60%)
(15) Almazhar Garde 80/1, Won two small-field chase contests as a novice and built on return effort to score under a positive ride at Kelso (21.6f) in November. Pulled up at Newbury later that month and absent since.
8th
8th (21) (16/1 +0%) Morning Vicar
16/1(+0%)
(21) Morning Vicar 16/1, Progressive sort who confirmed reappearance promise at Uttoxeter when making all at Newbury (19.8f) in November. Disappointed at Sandown (20f) thereafter but not one to write off arriving here fresh.
9th
9th (19) (18/1 -50%) Musical Slave
18/1(-50%)
(19) Musical Slave 18/1, Progressive hurdler who did well in novice season over fences last year. Jumping has held him back to a large extent this time around but there's undoubtedly an air of unfinished business about him.
|B|
|B| (16) (25/1 -14%) Bob Mahler
25/1(-14%)
(16) Bob Mahler 25/1, Gallant effort when third in this race last year but not hit same heights so far this season, plodding on to finish third in Edinburgh National latest. Handicapper has relinquished his grip at least
|F|
|F| (12) (7/1 +18%) Plan Of Attack
7/1(+18%)
(12) Plan Of Attack 7/1, Enjoyed productive 2019/20 campaign winning twice and run right up to best when fourth in this race 12 months ago. Not at best this term but arrives here fresh and on a competitive mark. Blinkered.
|U|
|U| (23) (100/1 -52%) Townshend
100/1(-52%)
(23) Townshend 100/1, Useful chaser for Willie Mullins who ran best race of present campaign when fifth of 11 in an Ascot handicap (23.8f) in November. However, he's not matched that either start since.
10th
10th (17) (18/1 -13%) Kilfilum Cross
18/1(-13%)
(17) Kilfilum Cross 18/1, Useful sort who found only one too good in this race for second successive year 12 months ago. Arrives on the back of a string of underwhelming efforts this time around but mark reflects that.
11th
11th (9) (33/1 -18%) Crievehill
33/1(-18%)
(9) Crievehill 33/1, Kicked off last term with victories at Wetherby/Haydock but he's failed to make an impact in handful of starts so far this campaign. Mark continues to ease and he was fourth in this race 2 years ago.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (12/1 -33%) Deise Aba
12/1(-33%)
(6) Deise Aba 12/1, Pulled up first 2 starts this season but back to very best to land Masters Handicap for second successive year at Sandown (3m) last time. Good fifth from same mark in this 12 months ago. Respected.
|PU|
|PU| (14) (20/1 -11%) Milanford
20/1(-11%)
(14) Milanford 20/1, Point winner who has displayed useful form in finishing runner-up all 3 starts in small field maiden/Grade 2 chase contests this winter. Switch to handicaps rates a plus and he remains unexposed.
|PU|
|PU| (22) (33/1 -18%) Sizing At Midnight
33/1(-18%)
(22) Sizing At Midnight 33/1, Excellent start to the campaign, winning handicap chase contests at Newton Abbot/Ffos Las. Shaped as if still in form thereafter last year but his Wincanton effort in February was a poor one.
|PU|
|PU| (13) (33/1 +0%) Cobolobo
33/1(+0%)
(13) Cobolobo 33/1, Improved performer this season, career-best display when making all at Exeter (3m) in December. Better than distance beaten suggests at Ascot (23.8f) recently but this is demanding.
|PU|
|PU| (20) (33/1 +0%) Didero Vallis
33/1(+0%)
(20) Didero Vallis 33/1, Capable sort who left Warwick disappointment in his wake when winning with something to spare at Catterick (25f) in February. However, that wasn't a deep contest and this a much sterner assignment.
|PU|
|PU| (11) (66/1 -32%) Another Venture
66/1(-32%)
(11) Another Venture 66/1, Looked as good as ever when resuming winning ways on return at Ludlow (23.8f) in December. Fell tenth in Somerset National (26.7f) in January and majority of his victories have come in small fields.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (80/1 -60%) Beau Bay
80/1(-60%)
(2) Beau Bay 80/1, Back to best when landing Grand Sefton (21f) at Aintree in December and went in again in a Doncaster veterans' event last month, making all and jumping well. 6 lb higher in stronger race now, though.

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.
