Cheltenham

1.00 Drumlee Sunset is narrowly preferred to Altior

1.35 Garde le Victoire won on this card last season and looks to be the best of these.

2.40 Mick Jazz and Sign of a Victory are my selections. Devilment is another to consider.

3.50 Lisheen Prince showed an impressive turn of foot when winning his point to point. The Unit is very well thought of by connections and won the Newbury bumper, while Waterlord has already won 3 bumpers. At the prices The Unit each way is the selection.

Fontwell

1.50 Big Occasion has been off the course for over two years with injury but comes from a stable that can get a horse ready after a long layoff. He has won a Midlands National and finished runner up in the 2013 Scottish National. Reblis looks to be on a decent mark and stays well while Golden Chieftain is well handicapped on his best form which includes a Cheltenham Festival success.

Cheltenham

1.15 Un Temps pour tout is a grade 1 winner over hurdles in France and looks a very interesting prospect for staying novice chases.

1.50 Black Thunder is worth considering here. He won at Sandown last season off a slightly higher mark. Soft going probably suits him best. Further down the weights I would put up Sego Success as another to think about. My other fancy is. Sausalito Sunrise. My 123 would be 1 Sego Success; 2 Sausalito Sunrise 3 Black Thunder.

2.25 I will put a few suggestions again here. Boondooma, Darna, Johns Spirit and Cocktails at Dawn form my short list. Boondooma won here last month making all. Although he has gone up in the weights for that he can still be competitive off his new mark. I think that Darna is overpriced. He needs good ground and if he gets it he has an each way chance. John’s Spirit won this two years ago and generally runs well at Cheltenham. The form of Cocktails at Dawn’s win at Chepstow has worked out well.

1. Boondooma 2. Cocktails at Dawn 3. John’s Spirit 4. Darna.

3.35 There may be more to come from the consistent Herbert Park.

4.05 Which One is Which and Copper Kay are my selections.

Punchestown

1.00 Free Expression

Uttoxeter

12.30 Captain Chaos

Aintree

12.45 Definite Outcome is well regarded by connections and has shown plenty of promise in his runs so far. The stable are not in great form which would be the only worry.

1.20 Caracci Apache looks the sort to do well in staying chases.

1.55 Our Kaempfer was a staying on 4th last time over a shorter trip.

Wincanton

1.30 Arpege D’Alene

2.05 A Good Skin

3.50 Bol D’Air

Naas

3.10 Disko
