March 18, 20214 yr Author Sarah: 11. 2/23-111 Royale Pagaille 7/1 7 11 10 Miss V Williams Charlie Deutsch About: Improving in a big way and made it 3-3 this season with most impressive victory in Peter Marsh at Haydock (3m) 8 weeks ago. Stiffer test will suit and this novice is a very exciting contender.
March 18, 20214 yr Author King Rollo: 3 47-7F22 Aso 100/1 11 11 10 Miss V Williams D A Jacob About: Placed twice in the Ryanair and back to form the last twice, chasing home Grand National-favourite Cloth Cap at Kelso 13 days ago. This is a whole different test and he'd be a surprising winner.
March 18, 20214 yr Author Houdini: 10 34/11-31 Native River 14/1 11 11 10 C L Tizzard R Johnson About: 2018 winner bidding to become only the second horse to regain the crown and arrives in great heart after a superb win in Sandown Grade 2, jumping his rivals ragged. Good chance if in the same form.
March 18, 20214 yr Author Dobbo: 9 12-11F4 Minella Indo 10/1 8 11 10 H De Bromhead J W Kennedy About: 2019 Albert Bartlett winner who was reeled in by Champ in last year's RSA and resumed this season with 2 victories. Faded behind Kemboy in the Irish Gold Cup last time but likely to fare better here.
March 18, 20214 yr Author Jade: 1 11/211-1 Al Boum Photo 5/2 9 11 10 W P Mullins P Townend About: Seeking a fantastic hat-trick in Jump Racing's Blue Riband and returned with a bloodless success at Tramore on New Year's Day. Genuine, good jumper and very much the one to beat.
March 18, 20214 yr Author Mack: 12 112-253 Santini 10/1 9 11 10 N J Henderson Aidan Coleman About: Placed all 3 Festival visits, just failing to reel in Al Boum Photo 12 months ago, but not arriving in the same form this year, not fancying it behind Native River at Sandown. More severe headgear on.
March 19, 20214 yr Author Sarah 2 3213-21 A Plus Tard 9/2 7 11 10 H De Bromhead Rachael Blackmore About: Better than ever fitted with tongue tie when scoring at Leopardstown (3m) over Christmas from Kemboy and boasts good Festival form (won the 2019 novice handicap chase/third in 2020 Ryanair). Respect.
March 19, 20214 yr Author King Rollo 8 1P3-3P5 Lostintranslation 33/1 9 11 10 C L Tizzard R M Power About: Has looked a shadow of the star of last season when winning the Betfair Chase and finishing third in this, checking out tamely after another wind op at Newbury last month. Huge revival needed.
March 19, 20214 yr Author Houdini 7 427-221 Kemboy 12/1 9 11 10 W P Mullins D E Mullins About: Has had another good season in Ireland and gained his fourth Group 1 success in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown last month. Not the best jumper though, and hasn't shone at previous Festivals.
March 19, 20214 yr Author Dobbo 6 314-141 Frodon 12/1 9 11 10 P F Nicholls Bryony Frost About: 2019 Ryanair winner as good as ever this season, leading from pillar to post in the King George last time. Likely to give it an excellent shot from the front but this is probably a bridge too far.
March 19, 20214 yr Author Jade 5 1/11F1-2 Champ 4/1 9 11 10 N J Henderson Nico de Boinville About: Remarkable winner of the RSA last year (also second in the Ballymore in 2019) and shaped well after 11 months off/wind op at Newbury over inadequate trip. Big run likely if keeping the mistakes down.
March 19, 20214 yr Author Mack 4 122-496 Black Op 100/1 10 11 10 T R George T Scudamore About: Not matched his Grade 1-winning hurdling exploits (second in 2018 Ballymore before scoring at Aintree) over fences, well held in the Ladbrokes Handicap/King George last 2 starts. Cheekpieces tried.
March 19, 20214 yr Author Result of The Sweepstake: 1st Minella Indo 9-1 (dobbo) 2nd A Plus Tard 10-3 (Sarah) 3rd Al Boum Photo 9-4f (Jade) 4th Native River 12-1 (Houdini) Congratulations to dobbo on winning the 2021 Buzzjack Cheltenham Gold Cup Sweepstake.
