Race Info

1st - £52,030.00 2nd - £23,920.00 3rd - £11,960.00 4th - £5,980.00 5th - £2,990.00 6th - £1,490.00

Formscan - Calico bids for a third consecutive win in this race and his proven liking for Cheltenham is a major factor in his favour. However, the handicapper appears to be in charge now and running off 6lb higher than 12 months ago leaves him vulnerable. SKY LORD, on the other hand, is not fully exposed over fences and may be worth chancing from a more attractive mark. JPR One has a mixed record at this venue, but won't need to find much to be on the premises. In The Air and Traprain Law complete the shortlist.
