Cheltenham

Friday, March 14, 2025ChaseClass 23m2f

ANGELS DAWN is the class act and her Cheltenham Festival form under Patrick King stacks up, having been successful in the 2023 Kim Muir over C&D and in the process of running well when departing 2 out bidding for the follow-up last year. She ticks all the boxes and can come out on top. Willitgoahead is unexposed and very interesting for Gordon Elliott after his Thurles success. C&D winner Fairly Famous is a player at bigger odds while Its On The Line, second in 2023 and 2024, must be feared.

    Verdict
    Career highlight when winning the 2023 Kim Muir and would have been placed in last year's renewal when falling 2 out (both under this rider). Successful both starts in points this winter, beating Ryehill by 6 lengths on second of them and she's a very classy recruit to this sphere. Leading claims.

    Verdict
    Dual winner of the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown, latterly in May. Below that level when odds-on twice to add to his tally in that sphere during the winter but he's twice finished runner-up in this race so is more than capable of making his presence felt.

    Verdict
    Multiple point winner and plenty to like about his switch to Rules this winter, shaping best when second at Limerick before readily going one place better at Thurles 8 weeks ago. Jumped and travelled with plenty of purpose that day and well worth a shot at this for Gordon Elliott.

    Verdict
    Chased home Angel's Dawn in a point in December and left previous hunter form trailing in his wake when forging clear to land 9-runner contest at Naas from Ontheropes. These stiffer fences ask a new challenge but he brings untapped potential to the table.

    Verdict
    Took well to fences with 2 novice handicap wins in summer 2023 and showed he's still very talented when scoring easily in a Ffos Las hunter back from a long absence in February. Turned out 12 days later and workmanlike at Taunton but he's a player with this trip expected to suit.

    Verdict
    Smart hurdler and high-class chaser during his time with Dan Skelton. Missed 20 months but fair bit of ability remains judged on his 3 efforts in handicaps this term. Successful both starts in points, soundly beating only other finisher on second of them, but stamina a concern here.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful in bumpers and bright start over hurdles in 2022, off the mark in a Galway maiden (19f) prior to improved efforts in defeat at Cheltenham. Left Gordon Elliott and has no chasing experience to call upon under Rules but has won both starts in points this year.

    Verdict
    Looked limited for most of his career but hit a purple patch in points and carried on the excellent work when fourth in the 2023 renewal of this race. Failed to meet expectations only Rules start since at Limerick in December. Added to tally between the flags in January.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful hurdles winner who has made an encouraging start over fences, making the frame at Down Royal (19.7f) in May before bumping into a good prospect at Wexford. Won 2 of last 3 starts in points but this a tough ask tackling a new trip.
