Unreliable type who won the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury in 2021/22 but was a well-beaten third in that corresponding race in November. Again below form in Cheltenham handicap on New Year's Day but showed plenty of aptitude for this job early in career.
|
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who boasts a 100% record over fences, again impressing with his jumping as he landed the hat-trick over C&D 30 days ago. Only 4 lb higher now and he remains one to keep firmly on side.
|
Dual hurdles winner (at upto 21f) who is very much a chaser on looks and there was some encouragement to glean from last month's return/chase debut third at Doncaster (20.5f), keeping on under hands-and-heels. Better to come.
|
Novice hurdle winner who despite jumping tentatively/going with little fluency he probably would have won but for falling 3 out on chase bow here 30 days ago (had picked up strongly). However, not easy to know how he'll fare on balance of that display.

Forecasts
Gold Cup Bailly (5/6), Famous Bridge (3/1), Gaillimh A Stor (11/2), Thomas Darby (15/2)
GOLD CUP BAILLY impressed with his jumping and marked himself down as one to keep firmly on side when maintaining his 100% record chase record over C&D 4 weeks ago and he can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights. Famous Bridge could be the one to emerge as the chief threat.
