Verdict

It was only a small-field handicap that DANNY KIRWAN contested on his Cheltenham chase debut but it's worked out well, with the first, fourth and fifth all winning next time, so he's fancied to build on that and strike from the same mark. Jacamar came well clear of the rest when going close at Wincanton 12 days ago and he's feared most ahead of Nicky Henderson's Bothwell Bridge.

  1. DANNY KIRWAN (IRE)
  2. JACAMAR (GER)
  3. BOTHWELL BRIDGE (IRE)
