Cheltenham
Sat 22nd Oct

Formscan  - In this competitive contest, it may pay dividends to side with EDITEUR DU GITE, who struck twice here just under a year ago. The Gary Moore-trained eight-year-old then ran well for fourth in the Grand Annual and he can defy top weight to record a sixth career victory. Conditions may suit El Borracho and he rates the most immediate danger after a successful autumn campaign so far. Clear The Runway arrives on the hunt for a sixth consecutive victory and also demands respect.
