Cheltenham

Tomorrow, November 16, 2024ChaseClass 12m4f

GINNY'S DESTINY has a similar profile to Stage Star who won this for the Nicholls/Cobden combination last year and can enhance his excellent Cheltenham record. 2022 winner Ga Law is feared most on the back of his fine reappearance second at Chepstow. In Excelsis Deo, another with strong Cheltenham form, is next on the list ahead of Harry Derham's new recruit Imagine.

    Verdict
    Had an excellent first campaign over fences with the Paul Nicholls yard, including a course hat-trick between November and January. Even better form when second to Gray Dawning at the Festival in March and runner-up in another Grade 1 at Aintree on final start. A bold show looks assured.

    Verdict
    Looked an exciting chasing prospect when successful at Fairyhouse and Punchestown (Grade 2) last November. Well below par when only fourth back at Punchestown in January. Subsequently sold out of Gordon Elliott's yard for 320,000 euros. Low-mileage chaser who remains capable of better.

    Verdict
    Won this race 2 years ago and bagged another big middle-distance handicap here in January. Better than ever when second on 19.5f Chepstow reappearance in January and his fine course record earns him a place on the shortlist.

    Verdict
    Likeable sort who was third in this last year before finishing second to Fugitif and third to Ga Law in other strong handicaps here in December/January. Didn't shape with obvious promise on last month's Chepstow reappearance after wind surgery but course form makes him a dangerous one to dismiss.

    Verdict
    Won the 2022 Betfair Chase at Haydock. Came up a little short in top-level staying races subsequently but a drop in trip saw him bounce back to winning ways in the Ryanair at the Festival in March. Backed that up when 2½ lengths third to Jonbon at Aintree. Clear top weight but still respected.

    Verdict
    Career best when winning the Silver Trophy over 20.5f here in April. Ran poorly in the Galway Plate in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in July but he has a good Cheltenham record and his yard in among the winners. Respected.

    Verdict
    Just his second handicap chase when readily justifying market support in a big field at Punchestown in May. Respectable sixth of 22 in Galway Plate (22.5f) 3 months later. Possible that trip just stretched him and could resume his progression now.

    Verdict
    Finally landed a big pot in December Gold Cup here last December. Ended last season with a whimper but back to only 1 lb above that winning mark if a 7-month break and wind surgery have a reviving effect.

    Verdict
    Won a 2½m Cork maiden chase and Leinster National at Naas (25.5f) on first 2 outings for Gavin Cromwell. Stamina might have been stretched in the Irish Grand National final start. Drops back significantly in trip on his reappearance for a stable whose Cheltenham runners always merit respect.

    Verdict
    Useful hurdler/chaser for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Has run up to his best in novices at Worcester and this venue (handicap) for new yard this autumn but a big career best will be needed from 10 lb out of the handicap.

    Verdict
    Much improved for Sophie Leach last term, winning good 2m handicaps here and at Leopardstown. Lacklustre display on Ascot reappearance a fortnight ago (only run for Kieran Burke). Dan Skelton hasn't had long to work his magic but still no shock to see a big run. Up in trip.

    Verdict
    Won handicap chases in 2022, notably the Old Roan at Aintree. Matched that form when fourth to the reopposing Lets Go Champ at Punchestown in May. Looked rusty back from break at Chepstow 5 weeks ago and needs to have come on a lot.

    Verdict
    Hasn't been at his best since chasing home Allaho in the Clonmel Oil last November but his stamina might have been stretched by 22.5f on soft ground when only third when favourite for a Galway conditions race in August. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.

    Smart in his novice chase season. Didn't reach quite the same level in the last campaign but did finish third in the Plate at the Festival. Has to race from 6 lb out of handicap on reappearance.

    Verdict
    Bold-jumping front runner whose Desert Orchid success at Kempton last Christmas shows he's still really smart on his day. However, he's been well below that level in 4 outings since, dropping away tamely at Chepstow last month.
