This is a particularly weak Hunters’ Chase for the grade and so it should really be at the mercy of recent Monksgrange Winner An Droichead Gorm who sets a clear form standard. Alpha Male isn’t the horse he once was, but he should still be competitive after a solid 4th placed finish at Down Royal.
4:15
Fighter Allen, French Dynamite and Birchdale all won on their last starts and should be involved again in a very competitive Novice handicap chase.

The Mares Chase at the Cheltenham festival looks to hold the key to this race, with the winner Elimay and the 3rd Scarlet and Dove of most interest here.
5:25
Honeysuckle is impossible to oppose on these terms and should remain unbeaten with a clear round.
6:00
Willie Mullins has the key to this race, with the Supreme 3rd Kilcruit and the County Hurdle winner State Man making the most appeal.
6:35
Billaway finally got his head in front at Cheltenham and should confirm his superiority in this discipline here, with the younger Vaucelet the most likely to chase him home.
