A classy type from the Twiston-Davies yard, having achieved six wins in his career. He is fresh off an impressive win, recently securing a 3m 60y Novices' Limited Handicap Chase at Windsor in January. He has demonstrated his capability at Cheltenham, performing admirably in The Plate during a past Festival. His yard has confirmed that he is in excellent form, and I think he looks great each-way value at 18/1.

A previous high-class performer and winner of the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot, he showed remarkable speed and acceleration in the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle, securing victory by five and a half lengths on his first hurdle start after a summer break. While his speed is unquestionable, he displayed some inexperience and a tendency to look at the hurdles early during his win at Punchestown. If he can improve his jumping form and adapt to the nature of a big field in a Cheltenham race, he has a solid opportunity to finish in the places at favourable odds.

He has marked a successful season over fences, winning the Grade 2 Berkshire Novices' Chase at Kempton. His stamina was further validated with a convincing win over 3 miles at Ayr in January, which acted as his final preparation for the Festival. He narrowly finished 5th in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle last year, indicating that the track is favourable for him, making him a strong contender for a top-4 finish at reasonable odds.

The 7-year-old showcased impressive talent as a novice last season, finishing close behind The New Lion in the Turner's Novices' Hurdle, with a close 2nd in a Grade 1 event at last year's Festival, and a pedigree rich in stamina. He has to be viewed as a top contender in this race, making the 9/1 odds quite appealing each-way.

Highly equipped for this Festival, coming in as a solid contender to defend his title in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase. He is known for his relaxed nature and ability to travel smoothly. Expected to be in peak form.

Targeted for this race, trainer Henry de Bromhead was eager to enter him, though he hasn't raced in a year following his fall in this race last year. He is said to be in excellent shape and 'swimming away in his training.' It's a challenge after such a long break, but the stable wants to give him his shot, and I'm more than willing to back him.

He is set on the Grand Annual, and his familiarity with the track will serve him well. He has a solid record at Cheltenham, having triumphed in a prestigious handicap chase here last October. He knows how to compete in these challenging races, and Dan Skelton has shown confidence in his preparation, insisting he goes to Cheltenham with a chance, advising punters to back him. 22/1 looks great value each-way.

Trainer Chris Gordon has voiced significant confidence, identifying Bass Hunter as his greatest chance for a Festival triumph. He has not lost under Rules, winning a Newbury bumper and a Listed race at Ascot in a commanding, front-running manner. His stellar form and his trainer's positive assessment suggest he is a formidable place contender with a chance to win. A strong each-way option at 12/1.
