Cheltenham

Friday, December 13, 2024ChaseClass 23m5f

Gordon Elliott comes here mob-handed and his veteran DELTA WORK is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and enhance his fine record round here. Fellow Irish raider Stumptown has age on his side and is feared most in his bid for a hat-trick of cross country events, with in-form maiden chaser Mister Coffey appealing as the pick of the home challengers. Former victor Latenightpass and Topham-hero Arizona Cardinal complete the shortlist.

    2022 Foxhunters winner at Aintree and he took this 12 months ago for Dan Skelton. Had a wind op before coming in tenth of 13 in Grand Sefton back at Aintree (21.1f, good) 34 days ago. No forlorn hope back here with that run under his belt.

    Verdict
    Admirable sort who signed off last term with victory in Topham Handicap Chase at Aintree. Looked rusty when pulled up at Chepstow on October's return to action and better expected on the back of a breathing operation.

    Verdict
    It's now 16 runs since his last win in 2021 and he came in a below-form sixth of 13 to Stumptown in cross country chase at Punchestown (3m) 19 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

    Enhanced excellent Perth record with another brace of small-field wins in May/June. Got back on track when fourth of 9 in handicap chase over C&D 28 days ago so he can't be dismissed off a 7 lb lower mark.
