BetVictor Non-Runner-No-Bet At Cheltenham Seniors' Handicap Hurdle

Evidently not easy to train but he is talented and was a creditable third off 2 lb higher over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last term. Below par at Ascot since, which was his final run for Nicky Henderson some 12 months ago, but he's not discounted all the same. Tongue strap applied.

Lightly-raced since landing a 21f Cheltenham handicap back in November 2021. Generally performed with credit last season and, having shaped as though working his way back to form at Wetherby last month, he's a strong candidate off this career-low mark.

This mark is a good one judged on his reappearance third (wore first-time tongue strap) in the Chepstow handicap chase won by subsequent Welsh National winner Nassalam. However, pulled up both starts since and it's hard to know what to expect of him now returned to this sphere with blinkers added.

A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser for Philip Hobbs in 2021 and since shown himself to be a useful stayer on the Flat for Hugo Palmer. However, he was disappointing on debut for this yard back hurdling at Taunton in January and now has a bit to prove.

Three-time winner over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign but there have been few positives to glean from her efforts so far this season.

Improved second in Newton Abbot maiden on final start last season and made a sound start to his handicap career when third of 8 on return at Haydock in December. Backward step at Sandown since but probably worth another chance and booking of Harry Cobden is an obvious plus.
