1.35 Cheltenham

Elham Valley will be an extremely rare runner at Cheltenham for trained John Cornwall, but isn’t it fantastic to see a small trainer with a live chance at the track on Friday? I am hoping his runner runs a huge race and there’s bits and bobs in the form book to suggest he could take a hand. This horse bolted up in a selling handicap at Stratford in September when with Fergal O’Brien and he finished third here in a Fred Winter in the past.

4.30 Cheltenham

One True King is down to an attractive mark for a yard who loves a winner around here at their local venue. He finished third in a handicap at Market Rasen when last seen but he will need to brush up on his jumping to get around here unscathed. If he does, he is a big player.

5.05 Cheltenham

Irish raider Building Bridges arrives here in the form of his life. He won back to back handicaps at Down Royal and Galway in the summer months, and is fit off the back of a run on the Flat at Navan when last seen. He is handicapped to the hilt now, but has to be respected given his current form.
