FormscanBy Alan Magee - There is little to choose between Colonel Mustard, Beacon Edge, Staffordshire Knot and SANDOR CLEGANE on running behind Jimmy Du Seuil in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and slight preference is for the Paul Nolan-trained gelding who is quite well treated by the conditions of this race and won’t be inconvenienced by the soft ground. Kopeck De Mee was well touted prior to disappointing on his debut for current connections at the Cheltenham Festival but showed the talk wasn’t misplaced when just failing to land a valuable 2m4f handicap at Aintree. Lantry Lady has been lightly raced since finishing fourth to Lossiemouth at Cheltenham last year, while Kala Conti is another talented mare to consider.
