Tekao has been running well all season and I think he's a horse who will keep improving as his jumping is very good. He comes here in great form and with an excellent chance of justifying favouritism.
She fell last time but is a good jumper and I think we haven't seen the best of this mare yet. I could easily see her having a nice mark and being competitive in this race. I wouldn't discount her and she has a chance.
He's probably one of Patrick's best rides of the whole week and will come in here as the favourite. He's a second-season novice which I think might be a huge advantage in a race like this where experience is key. He's in form and everything will suit him including the ground - he ticks all the boxes so with a clear round would be hard to oppose.
He surprised us in his last couple of runs and he's improving all the time. With the benefit of Noel McParlan - who has a couple of wins around Cheltenham to his name - Tenzing could run another career best.
