Bonza Boy has a good record at Exeter, especially on the decent ground he's likely to find today. He had the misfortune to come up against, last time at Wincanton, one of Venetia Williams's runners on the day her yard hit form. It was still a good run on ground that wasn't to his particular liking.

This is a tight little handicap, and my preference is for William Cody. He's run four solid races this season, including a second last time after a short break. He was well clear of the rest of the field that day, which gives hope for a good run here. Pam Sly is a trainer who always has to be respected at Wetherby, where she has had a number of nice winners over the years.

Jukebox Fury won at Doncaster and Wetherby in February and March of last year, and hasn't been seen since. Those runs were full of promise, which made him look like one to follow. I don't know why he's been off for so long, so that is a concern. However, he may just be a class above this field, and assuming he's ready to run to his best, he may be a value bet here.

Cool Customer comes from a yard that does well in bumpers and gained valuable experience in two placed efforts in December and January. I think that experience should stand him in good stead for this assignment. Chepstow's undulations are quite a challenge, and because Cool Customer has had those previous runs, he might handle the track better than most.

Flying Fortune won the Persian War over this course and distance in 2024 in very impressive fashion. However, she had been off for a lengthy absence before reappearing a month ago in a Listed race at Warwick. She was in need of that race, and hopefully will have stepped forward since then. She is the class act in this race, and if she is anywhere near her best she should be in the shake-up.

I think Teddy Blue looks a very tempting price in a tight-looking handicap. Teddy Blue looked a sprightly horse last season, and his recent second at Newbury seemed to confirm that. He has generally run his best races on right-handed tracks, including winning on this course.

Extensive stamina is the order of the day in this cruelling marathon handicap chase, and many of them will come up short. Git Maker will stay the trip based on his previous form. If he can get into a good rhythm allowing him to jump cleanly, he has a great chance. The trainer/jockey combination are on a high after a Festival winner, so let's hope they keep things going.

Royal Infantry has a big weight to carry here, but he is a good hurdler with some fine efforts in the book. He was a very good third at Chepstow early in the season, and his second over this course and distance last time showed him back near his best. The better spring ground will help his cause, and he looks a solid bet at a nice price.

Quite a few of these don't look up to winning a race at this level, and I think the Skelton progressive youngster, A Pai De Nom, could be the one to be with. He is shorter than I was expecting, but the bookies are treading warily where this yard is concerned. Given what he's done in his last three runs, the handicapper hasn't been as harsh as he might have been, leaving him with a great chance of collecting a big pot.

A Perfect Day is a promising young hurdler who hasn't been over-raced this season, which should ensure he is ready for a successful spring campaign. This is a competitive-looking handicap, but the selection looks like one who still has a fair bit more to offer.

Act of Authority was second to the very talented Wodhooh last season, with the rest a long way back. He has been campaigned very smartly by Olly Murphy this season, running okay without doing anything to see his rating go up. He is only one pound higher than last year. Obviously he needs a little luck in such a large field, but given that, he can go one better this time.

In a very good and open renewal of the Foxhunters, I think a repeat of Wonderwall's victory from last year looks quite possible. He's only raced once since that race, winning it fairly easily, and has been saved specifically for this.

This is quite an open Gold Cup with no outstanding-looking candidate. I think Spillane's Tower is still improving, and, most importantly, looks sure to get the trip. He won the Cotswold Chase last time, and while he needs to find more for this assignment, his ability to handle the course will be invaluable.

This is always a tough race to win, and many of them will not get up the hill after the three-mile trip. Kazansky won a Grade 2 just short of this trip at Christmas and has won a point at three miles. I believe he will be one of the stronger stayers in the field and can find a place at least.

Only By Night might be able to overturn the favourite here. She has some very high-class form in races against some of the best chasers in training. Her runs here and at Punchestown last spring bear close examination. She seems to handle Cheltenham well, which is always a positive.

Karbau was tailed off in last year's Supreme but bounced back to run very well at Aintree and Punchestown. His third in the Grade 3 Limestone Lad Hurdle last time was eye-catching. He may well be more than fairly treated for this first attempt in a handicap. Given a decent passage, he could land the pot.

I seriously doubt that there is a tougher card in the entire season than this one. Five fields of twenty or more runners really just says it all. Winner-finding is extremely difficult, and staking should be cautious. The Triumph looks a nightmare to call, and my very tentative pick is Kai Lung, one of nine from the Willie Mullins yard. He had six runs on the Flat in France, which will have given him plenty of experience, prior to winning on his only hurdle race to date. He showed enough that day to make me think he could get in the shake-up.

This looks the most difficult handicap of the day, but I have a fairly strong feeling that Weveallbeencaught is going to run a massive race. He was trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies until last September before moving to his current Irish yard. He ran well at both the spring festivals here and at Aintree, suggesting this is his time of year. He looks like one that does enjoy better ground than that on offer in the depths of winter. He ran well in the Munster National in the autumn; a repeat of that can see him go close in this.

Everything points to a typical Dan Skelton handicap plot here. Supremely West has been given a fairly quiet season, running OK without doing any damage to his mark. This is a notoriously tough handicap to win, but the trainer's record in this type of race can't be ignored.

The biggest issue for Teahupoo might be the going. It would be helpful if some rain fell on the course before race time. Teahupoo won this two years ago and was an honourable second to Bob Olinger last year. I thought Teahupoo ran below his best that day, and hopefully he will reverse that running.

Lossiemouth is the only horse to have beaten Wodhooh over hurdles, and that mare won the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday. Wodhooh has looked better than ever this season and is the standout mare on form in the race. The Elliott form this week is the only negative, but that will surely change today.

This is a very competitive race that could go to the home team. Paul Nicholls has been quite bullish about the chances of Regent's Stroll, and there is every reason to believe, given the evidence of his form, that that confidence won't be misplaced. The selection is a sound jumper, can race prominently with the expected good pace, and stay on strongly up the hill.

Mister R made a very taking debut at Kelso in February, looking very much like a horse who would be winning soon. His astute trainer, Nicky Richards, has found what looks like a very winnable race, which probably won't take much to win.

I'm generally unclear on what to pick in this race, as there are so many unexposed and very lightly raced runners. But it's Cheltenham, and you need to have a dash. The Gordon Elliott-trained Keep Him Company was very impressive when he won at Leopardstown last time and may be the one to be on.

I would be prepared to ignore everything that Jazzy Matty has done since this race last year, as I'm sure the plan has to try to repeat last year's win in the race. Although he's higher in the ratings than he was then, he is only seven and could easily be a better horse now. He's proven in the big field, which is a plus in this kind of race.

The fact that L'Eau Du Sud always runs best following a break gives me hope that he can take this great race. He jumps well in the main, goes well at Cheltenham, and enjoys decent ground.

Final Orders could take this at a fair price given what he's shown over the course and distance already. He won back in December when the ground was similar to what he'll find again this time. He came up short last time, but the ground was much softer and found him out. I can see a return to winning ways this time.

Taking such a short price about a horse in a race as competitive as this may well be asking for trouble, but I think Storm Heart might be better class than the opposition here. He has some very smart form in the book already, and, as he's only a six-year-old, he probably has even more to come. The trainer has won this kind of handicap here with this sort of horse on more than one occasion in the past.

The favourite is very short for a race of this nature, and while he may well win, I prefer Final Demand. He would have been a shorter price had he not bombed out at Leopardstown last time.

No Drama This End has very solid claims to win this top-class novice. Paul Nicholls has prepared him beautifully this season, and hopefully his efforts will be rewarded. He's won all three runs, culminating in the Challow at Newbury last time. He's avoided the worst of the ground since then and will be relatively fresh for this. He's won on the course, which adds to my confidence.

There's a lot to like about One Big Bang in this marathon handicap for the novices. He ran very well both here and at Punchestown last spring in big-field races. He has jumped soundly since going chasing, hasn't been over-raced, and looks well handicapped on his second to Wade Out over a shorter trip earlier in the season. He looks to be all stamina and should give a very good account of himself.

Here's another wildly difficult handicap with two very short-price horses at the head of the market. There has to be value elsewhere, and I'm going each way on Will The Wise. He is still only seven, so can improve further. He was a fair sixth in the Pertemps Final last season, which shows that he handles the track. He's been given a short break since his last run, and that's a positive, as he has always run well following previous breaks.

This is about as difficult as it gets, with any number of possible winners in the field. I'm going to go with The Short Go, who has been lightly raced this season and has raced exclusively here since last spring. It feels like he will have had this race as the target for some time, and his course form in big fields looks positive. Given the price, he looks a reasonable each-way selection.

This is always a very tough race to fathom out, as there are so many with little form in the book, and most will have been quietly campaigned with a view to getting in off a favourable mark. Saratoga has had three runs over hurdles, showing enough on each occasion to suggest there is a big race to be won with him. If he's fancied, I think he might be gambled on raceday and could be the one to beat.

I'm going to side with the more experienced Lulamba against the main Irish runner here. Although Lulamba showed no novicey tendencies when winning the Game Spirit at Newbury, he was beating far more experienced chasers and also gave weight. Nicky Henderson has won this race with some very smart types in the past, and potentially this is another one of that ilk.

I'm very worried about Old Park Star here, as he was impressive at Haydock last time, and there is no doubt his trainer knows exactly what it takes to win this race. However, I'm siding with the Joseph O'Brien runner, Talk The Talk, who has won three quality races in Ireland this season. It would have been four had he not fallen at the last on his other start. I think he will be suited by the strong pace here and has plenty of stamina to see him up the final hill.

In a race where most have serious question marks against them, Classic Maestro is the one who looks to be on the upgrade. He was a good second to the very useful Jax Junior at Sandown two races back, and that looks good to me. He had the consistent Dr TJ Eckleberg back in third, giving the form a solid look. The in-form Jennie Candlish enlists the excellent three-pound conditional Luke Scott for the ride, and that is a positive in my view.

Triple Crown Ted looks a horse with a bit of a future, following a couple of wins at Kelso already this season.

A hugely competitive race as always, with finding the winner far from easy. Wolf Walker has been third in all three of his hurdle races this season, all at two miles. He looks sure to be suited by the extra half mile here and might not be far away. His second to the subsequent Morebattle Hurdle winner, Captain Hugo, at Haydock looks like very strong form in the context of this race. The trainer is in great form and under-rated, which is why his runners can go off at quite generous prices. Hopefully that will be the case here.

Homer Stokes has tumbled down the ratings over the last year or so after a number of very ordinary performances. He has been a little better of late, and the Barron yard has been in good form lately.
