11.40 Cheltenham

Joseph O’Brien won this very race in 2019 with Fakir D’oudairies and sporting the same JP McManus colours, Comfort Zone bids to match him. Useful on the Flat, he won on hurdling debut impressively at Navan in November and he went on to land a Chepstow Grade 2 when last seen. He was workmanlike that day but has to be respected.

12.40 Cheltenham

There are several Irish contenders as per usual in the Cross Country Handicap Chase, but Delta Work is the horse that they all have to beat. It won’t be an easy task to concede weight to most of the field but the five-time Grade 1 winner is a class apart and won the Cross Country at the festival last March.

1.20 Cheltenham

We are taking on Energumene with our Nap of the Day but there is no doubt that Willie Mullins’ star is going to be a tough horse to beat. Last season’s Champion Chase winner is the top rated runner in the field, but the only blemish in his career came in this race last year. Nonetheless, he will take stopping.

2.25 Cheltenham

Noble Yeats won the Grand National at Aintree last April and got back to winning ways after a small blip in a Listed race at Wexford before producing a dominating display in the Many Clouds again at Aintree when last seen. He could be a genuine Gold Cup contender this year and for all he needs to improve on official ratings, he might just do that here.
