15:20 Cheltenham
Thursday 13 March 2025
Fact To File (6/4), Il Est Francais (10/3), Protektorat (5/1), Djelo (15/2), Envoi Allen (12/1), Jungle Boogie (16/1), Heart Wood (18/1), Master Chewy (40/1), Hang In There (66/1)
FACT TO FILE has lost little in defeat behind his mighty stable-companion Galopin des Champs since his victory in the John Durkan and with the drop back in trip looking ideal he can notch up a second Festival victory. The dangers are Il Est Francais, who should prove a real sight on his first go over the Cheltenham fences, and last year's winner Protektorat, who is sure to be up with the pace from the off also.
