DragonBet The Roar Before Cheltenham Infernoboost Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:30 | Winning time: 6m 33.05s

Disco Davis^t⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton| OR: 112

17/2

Pulled up both starts since an encouraging reappearance in much better race at Uttoxeter in October and while a 3-month break will need to do the trick, he cannot be totally discounted down in this grade.

Form: 126-4PP

Inferno Sacree¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 111| C

9/4

Likeable 3-time course winner who dictated when ending a long losing run at Taunton late last month. He's likely to be well-positioned again and isn't fully exposed over staying trips.

Form: 3-32221

Confinentic²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 111| C

3/1

Won back-to-back races at this track as a novice, and while yet to build on that, he did see his race out better than previously in a higher grade at Ascot last time.

Form: 411-665

Fontana Ellissi^b1,t⁷⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Kielan Woods| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 101

22/1

Has fallen a long way in the weights having seemingly been hard to train and it's hard to be confident that first-time blinkers will spark a revival.

Form: 75/8S3-8

Ferret Jeeter^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Chad Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 98| CD

2/1

Made it three wins from 4 completed starts in handicaps when successful over C&D last month and this low-mileage, straightforward type looks sure to go well again.

Form: 9/1F131

All Authorized^b,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 98| CD

11/1

Back to his best when winning over C&D in April and following a disappointing time over fences, hinted at a revival in less-than-ideal conditions at Fontwell last month.

Form: 31-95F3

Forecasts

Ferret Jeeter (2/1), Inferno Sacree (9/4), Confinentic (3/1), Disco Davis (17/2), All Authorized (11/1), Fontana Ellissi (22/1)

Likeable pair FERRET JEETER and Inferno Sacree are likely to have this between them, the former narrowly preferred given his low-mileage profile, while C&D winner All Authorized hinted at a revival last time.
