9/1
Won at Cork in May and Bellewstown in July prior to popping up again at Down Royal penultimate start in better company. Better for recent fifth at Gowran Park after a break so should give good account of himself.

7/2
Improved 21lb according to official ratings during four-race recent wining spree and there could yet be more to come as he steps up in trip again. In great heart and looks sure to go well.

8/11
Talented staying handicap chaser who was second in last year's Welsh National. Hasn't run over hurdles for two years and competed at a lower level over timber, so will need to translate chase form back to timber if he is to score.

9/2
Won 4-6 chases last term and improved a total of 32lb, concluding with convincing win in good event at Kelso. Showed little in three hurdles earlier in career so has a bit to prove in this sphere.

66/1
33/1 landed three-runner Fontwell novice hurdle in August but only modest fourth in minor Worcester event last time. Appears to have a mountain to climb in this company but should give connections a great day out.

16:20 Cheltenham - 26 October 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A trappy heat which may just fall to Irish raider MACGILONEY who sohuld be spot on now after a recent pipe-opener where he shaped well. He has most to fear from the progressive The Butcher Said who will make him work hard as he bids for his five-timer. Useful staying handicap chasers Ramses De Teillee and Some Chaos are hard to assess back over smaller obstables, but any notable market support would be interesting as they are both potentially favoured by the weights if running up to their respective chase marks.
  1. Macgiloney
  2. The Butcher Said
  3. Ramses De Teillee
