1:45 Cheltenham Tips

Ran well in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival when finishing sixth. Has won a point-to-point, so has valuable experience over fences.

Jordan's Cross won an Irish point on soft, so was always suited to chasing over a distance. He stayed on well at Aintree to win over two miles on good going and should be better over two and a half miles on testing going.

Always been highly rated and won a pair of novice hurdles at short odds before running down the field in the Grade 1 Novice Hurdle at Punchestown. Reappeared at Chepstow when ultimately disappointing but always seen as a chaser, with the form of his PTP win looking strong. Has won on heavy ground and although this is his first start for the Bowen yard, he cost a lot of money and I'm sure they'll be aiming for Graded races, which would mean he'll have to win this handicap from a mark of just 131.

French import that will relish the underfoot conditions, having won 3 from 10, all with the ground testing. Interesting that Joseph O'Brien brings him over for this and can go well.

Made a strong start winning over fences in the Tramore maiden in August and continued that momentum with another solid victory in the Listowel handicap the following month. He finished 5th in a handicap chase at Limerick 28 days ago, which was a respectable effort given his career-high mark. There are potential opportunities, but with the odds at 20/1, I feel it's more strategic to place an each-way bet instead of the win.
