Cheltenham

Tomorrow, HurdleClass 12m4f

Champion Bumper runner-up HEADS UP shaped with plenty of encouragement when second in a strong Grade 2 here in November and he can progress again to land this contest. Smart prospect Taurus Bay asserted in taking style to make it 2-2 over hurdles at Aintree and should make a bold bid to maintain his unbeaten record, while Act of Innocence was conceding lumps of weight when turned over at Newbury and remains one to be interested in over a more suitable test.

    Verdict
    Smart second in 2025 Champion Bumper. Beat a now useful sort when impressive winner on hurdles bow at Listowel and possibly overdid things in front when runner-up to No Drama This End in Grade 2 Hyde (21f, heavy, old course) here in November. That form is strong and he remains capable of better.

    Promising in bumpers for Paul Nicholls and picked up well to make a winning stable/hurdle debut in a notable Newbury maiden (16.3f). Conceding plenty of weight when chasing home an expensive 3-y-o over same C&D last time and remains one to be interested in upped in trip/returning to softer ground.

    Verdict
    Imposing sort who cost £155,000 after scoring on sole Irish point start. Ready winner on hurdles bow at Stratford (form worked well) and impressed again when dispatching a pair of last-time-out winners at Aintree (17f) last time. Longer trip will suit and this smart prospect is sure to go close.

    Verdict
    Went the right way in bumpers and made a successful start over hurdles in 2m Chepstow maiden in November. Came from an unpromising position when second behind hard held No Drama This End in Sandown Grade 2 latest but he's a scopey sort and will keep on improving.

    Verdict
    Successful on hurdle debut at Fontwell (19.1f) and gave a good account when third behind Old Park Star at Kempton. Made it 2 wins from 3 starts with an easy victory in a 4-runner Fontwell novice (17.7f) on Boxing Day but will need to improve for step back up in trip now pitched into graded company.

    Verdict
    Useful bumper winner who went one better than on hurdle debut when successful at Ascot in November. Showed a willing attitude to follow up at Newbury last time, seeing off a well-backed hurdle debutant. Upped in grade for hat-trick bid but remains open to improvement in first-time tongue strap.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful Flat winner for Charlie Johnston and has made a promising start for Gordon Elliott, chasing home an improver who had the run of the race at Wexford (20f) prior to opening his hurdle account in decisive fashion at Naas (19f, heavy). This is a much stronger race, however.

    Verdict
    Irish point winner who impressed on hurdle debut at Southwell in November but was made to work hard (1/12 shot) to follow up under a penalty in 2m Plumpton novice last month. In much deeper waters for hat-trick bid (Sean Bowen prefers The Blue Room) but will appreciate the stiffer test.
