March 16, 20232 yr Author Here we go: Dobbo 1 21-5351 Ahoy Senor 16/1 8 11 10 Miss Lucinda V Russell D R Fox About: Initially found the transition from top novice to contender at the highest level a bit of a struggle, but he pieced it all together with a defeat of Sounds Russian, Noble Yeats and Protektorat in the Cotswold Chase here in January. More needed now but his yard is in flying form.
March 16, 20232 yr Author Sarah 8 3P22-P1 Minella Indo 16/1 10 11 10 H De Bromhead IRE M P Walsh About: Won this in 2021 and chased home stablemate A Plus Tard 12 months ago. Only scrambled home in receipt of 8 lb from Stattler in Tramore Grade 3 on his reappearance on New Year's Day but his very good Festival record (2 wins and 2 seconds from 4 runs) means it would no shock if he goes well.
March 16, 20232 yr Author King Rollo 10 2134-14 Protektorat 12/1 8 11 10 D Skelton Harry Skelton About: Expertly trained to gain a second Grade 1 success of his career in Betfair Chase on return at Haydock in November. Not at best when fourth of 6 to Ahoy Senor in Cotswold here in January but no surprise were he to bounce back and record another good run in this (third last year).
March 16, 20232 yr Author Mack 5 37-2245 Eldorado Allen 100/1 9 11 10 Joe Tizzard Brendan Powell About: Very smart but his limitations have been exposed at the highest level. Did too much too soon under a change of tactics when fading into a below-form fifth in Denman Chase at Newbury last month. Big outsider.
March 16, 20232 yr Author Houdini 12 12-1422 Sounds Russian 25/1 8 11 10 Ruth Jefferson Sean Quinlan About: Hasn't looked back since sent over fences, gaining a fourth success in Kelso handicap on reappearance. Better form in defeat since, notably 1½ lengths second to Ahoy Senor (Noble Yeats third, Protektorat fourth) in Cotswold Chase at this course (25f, good to soft) last time. Vulnerable here, though.
March 16, 20232 yr Author steve201 13 3/111-22 Stattler 8/1 8 11 10 W P Mullins Mr P W Mullins About: National Hunt Chase winner at this meeting last year and has improved again in defeat this time round, only narrowly failing to concede 8 lb to Minella Indo on his reappearance before chasing home stablemate Galopin Des Champs in Irish Gold Cup. Slightly longer trip now will play to his strengths.
March 16, 20232 yr Author Jade: 2 12/121-P A Plus Tard 6/1 9 11 10 H De Bromhead IRE Rachael Blackmore About: One of the best Gold Cup winners of recent years when beating stable-companion Minella Indo by 15 lengths 12 months ago. Pulled up in Betfair at Haydock in November on his only outing since. Clearly hard to be confident but a threat to all if back on song.
March 16, 20232 yr Author JulianT 9 91-P113 Noble Yeats 7/1 8 11 10 E Mullins IRE S Bowen About: Last season's Grand National winner and has progressed again over conventional fences this time round, winning Wexford listed and Aintree Grade 2 before third to Ahoy Senor (Sounds Russian second) in Cotswold here. Cheekpieces back on for the first time since Aintree. Each-way claims.
March 17, 20232 yr Author lotita 3 1114-11 Bravemansgame 6/1 8 11 10 P F Nicholls H Cobden About: Disappointed in Aintree Grade 1 novice on final start last season but that's his only defeat in 7 outings over fences, taking his form to another level in King George at Kempton in December, well in control when left clear at last. Saved for this since. Big player.
