Enda Bolger is responsible for five of the 27 entries for the Glenfarclas Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Cantlow is the ante-post favourite but Bolger could also run Auvergnat, Love Rory, Colour Squadron and Quantitativeeasing.

Others to note include Mouse Morris' Festival regular First Lieutenant and the Gordon Elliott-trained Cause Of Causes.

Rocky Creek, Sausalito Sunrise and Any Currency are notable names for the home team, but b ig French hope Urgent De Gregaine is only "50-50" to run.

The Emmanuel Clayeux-trained nine-year-old is prominent in the betting for the cross-country race on March 15 after he beat Cantlow over course and distance in January.

"I don't know if he will run yet and I will make a final decision on Monday," said Clayeux.

"He is perfectly OK, and has been fine after his last run, but he will have to carry a lot more weight at the Cheltenham Festival and he is only a small horse.

"We have given him an entry, but at the moment I think it is only 50-50 that he will run."
