Broadway Boy³²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR: 150| BF| CD

5/6

Three wins in a productive novice chase campaign, including a valuable staying handicap here. Better for return when excellent second in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury and can resume winning ways back down in class.

Form: 1135-32

Chantry House^b³³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 149| CD

8/1

Dual Grade 1 winner over fences in his pomp but failed to complete last 3 starts in this sphere over 2 years ago. Winless over hurdles since and others preferred.

Form: 74095-5

Cloudy Glen²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 145

9/1

Hard to predict but talented on his day, as he proved when making a winning return in veterans event at Haydock 4 weeks ago, heavily eased down. Will find this tougher up 7 lb in better race but respected all the same.

Form: U/253P-1

Our Power^p¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 144

7/1

Lightly raced since the spring of 2023 but looked as good as ever back from a year off when runner-up in Premier Handicap here 19 days ago. Claims if this doesn't come too soon.

Form: 110/7F-2

Bowtogreatness³²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 132

7/2

Took advantage of career-low mark when finally off the mark over fences at Newbury, jumping boldly at the head of affairs. However, added to patchy recorded when running poorly at Newcastle 3 weeks later.

Form: 306-51P

Forecasts

Broadway Boy (5/6), Bowtogreatness (7/2), Our Power (7/1), Chantry House (8/1), Cloudy Glen (9/1)

BROADWAY BOY ran a cracker when runner-up in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury and can enhance his excellent Cheltenham record back down in class. Our Power looked as good as ever back from a year off when second here 19 days ago so rates the main threat.
