A typically competitive Cheltenham handicap chase over this distance and with the Venetia Williams barn in good form it may well be worth giving TENOR NIVERNAIS a chance here in a race that he’s run well in before and he still looks well treated off a mark of 152. Village Vic can never be ruled out of races around here with his course record and although the handicapper still keeps nudging up his mark, he keeps responding with some doughty and tough performances. Quite By Chance was a little unlucky in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup last time out when he was hampered early in the contest and he did well to get himself into contention and the placings. He’s an improving type from a stable that can do little wrong at the moment and has to be given a chance here. 1. Tenor Nivernais 2. Village Vic 3. Quite By Chance
