Cheltenham

Today, ChaseClass 13m3f

This is wide open but it could pay to side with BEAUPORT who scored impressively on his reappearance at Ascot last term and looks on a handy-looking mark having shaped much better than his 12th position suggests in the Grand National on his final run. Venetia Williams' upwardly-mobile Tanganyika was a fine second in last season's Midlands National and is feared most on his return, while Protektorat can't be ruled out either on a rare foray into handicaps. Marble Sands completes the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Very much on the up sent chasing last term, scoring over 3m at Market Rasen and Carlisle before signing off with an excellent second of 16 in Midlands National at Uttoxeter in March. Up another 6 lb but he merits serious consideration on his seasonal return.

    Verdict
    High-class chaser who won the 2024 Ryanair Chase. Got right back on track last term when runner-up to Jonbon in the Melling Chase (2½m) at Aintree in April and can't be ruled out on a rare run in handicap company up markedly in trip.

    Verdict
    Stormed home in 3m5f handicap at Ascot on his comeback last November and after two good hurdling efforts he wasn't discredited when 12th in the Grand National, prominent until the home turn. Handily weighted for his return and he's a player.

    Verdict
    Took well to fences last season, scoring here last November and also a good fifth in National Hunt Chase at the Festival. Not at his best after 8 months off in 3m1f handicap here 22 days ago but can take a step forward now.

    Verdict
    Very useful chaser who added to his tally in 2m4f listed chase at Carlisle last November. Comes here on the back of a good second on the Flat at Goodwood last month so needs considering.

    Verdict
    Arrives in decent form without winning but is often let down by his jumping and that was again the case when coming in eighth of 18 in handicap chase here (25f, good) 22 days ago.
