Highly promising gelded son of Walk In The Park & Debdebdeb ( Dam's sire Teofilo ) who completed a hat-trick of back to back wins in impressive fashion and was last seen at Aintree 74 days ago where finishing a respectable 2nd/6 in the William Hill Formby Grade 1 Hurdle with the removal of the hurdles in the straight doing this extremely fluent jumper no favours open to plenty more progress and improvement especially now as a 5yo this very strong yet smooth travelling individual looks poised for a big run here at the opening race at the Cheltenham festival jockey Harry Skelton takes the ride on the Dan Skelton trained Mydaddypaddy and can ensure he gets the best possible outcome here exciting prospect must be taken very seriously here

Course winner who developed into a very smart hurdler and has proven to be just as good over the larger obstacles was last seen at Leopardstown 36 days ago where finishing 2nd/3 in the Goffs Irish Arkle Novice Grade 1 Chase finding only the extremely talented Romeo Coolio too good on the occasion and that rival is not enrolled to run here open to plenty more improvement and progress in this sphere in receipt of weight all round here W P Mullins's inmate earns my clear vote to take this Singer Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Grade 1 Chase yard also saddles Kopek Des Bordes however Kargese is the percentage call in my point of view jockey Danny Mullins takes the ride on this Jet St Eloi mare and can ensure she gets the best possible outcome here merits serious consideration

Highly promising Kapgarde mare who was last seen at Leopardstown 37 days ago where winning well with 3.25 lenghts in hand beating Lossiemouth , Poniros and Anzadam in the process fair and square and all 3 of those rivals are enrolled to run here today clearly a strong force who is operating at his best this strongly built individual looks a very good choice to take this very exciting looking Unibet Champion Grade 1 Hurdle Challenge Trophy and possesses all the necessary credentials to do so jockey Jack Kennedy takes the ride on the G Elliot trained Brighterdaysahead and can ensure he gets best possible outcome here must be taken seriously

Gelded son of Walk In The Park & Refinment ( Dam's sire Oscar ) who was last seen at Doncaster 45 days ago where finishing a promising 3rd/8 sticking to the task well that being his best run for his new yard now stepping up in trip that most certainly being a good move by his connections and did shape as if in need of this trip last time out currently operating on unchanged mark of 127 over the larger obstacles Faye Bramley's inmate looks poised to build on his latest run and strike here and has what it takes to win a race of this nature with most of his rivals here having been hit hard by the handicapper jockey Harry Cobden takes the ride and can give Walking On Air a promising ride here in closing race of day 1 of the Cheltenham festival
