Bacchanal (IRE) Last year’s Stayers’ Hurdle winner has taken well to chasing; very impressive at Kempton on Boxing Day, he is clearly the best horse in the race and will be short odds to take this.
Bindaree (IRE) Won well over course and distance last time but had started to struggle when unseating rider in Bacchanal’s race at Kempton.
Mighty Kilcash (IRE) Has improved for each run and took a novices’ handicap at Doncaster on Jan 26; stays well and the four-miler at Cheltenham is his aim.
