7/2
Major improver over fences during 2019/20 season, winning Plate Handicap over C&D at the Festival, and looked better than ever when runner-up off 153 in Grade 3 handicap over C&D on New Year's Day. Not at best in Cotswold Chase here since but type to bounce back.

10/3
Admirably tough front runner who looked better than ever at the age of 11 when winning the C&D Plate at the Festival last month, rallying in tremendous fashion to land his third valuable Cheltenham handicap in the last 2 seasons. Career-high mark to deal with now up 7 lb but must be respected.

12/1
Returned in style after a wind op with ready win in 3-runner handicap chase at Warwick (20f) in February. Went with little zest in a more competitive race away from the mud at Kempton since, however, and stable going through a quiet spell.

Smart chaser who was a narrow winner off this mark at Ascot on return but arrives here on the back of a poor run at Newbury and record here isn't great.

Made a winning start for Sam Thomas at Market Rasen and best efforts since have come around here, including when 8¼ lengths fourth of 15 to Coole Cody in C&D handicap at the Festival last month, plugging on. 1 lb lower now and 8 lb better off with Coole Cody.

5/1
Generally progressive and posted another solid run when eighth in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (20.2f) in November. Failed to meet expectations back from a break at Kempton last month but was a good winner of this last season off 5 lb lower.

10/1
Useful hurdler who made a winning chase debut at Warwick in 2019. Showed he retains all his ability on second start back from a long lay-off when runner-up at Sandown and went one better in 4-runner event at Wincanton. This much more competitive, however, and still has to prove stamina at this trip.

Forecasts

Stolen Silver (11/5), Coole Cody (10/3), Simply The Betts (7/2), Manofthemountain (5/1), Cheddleton (7/1), Torpillo (10/1), Espoir De Guye (12/1), Amoola Gold (33/1)

14:05 Cheltenham - 13 April 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

STOLEN SILVER was far from disgraced when fourth behind Coole Cody in the C&D Plate Handicap at the Festival last month and there's a good chance he can get the better of the gallant winner this time now 8 lb better off. That could well be enough to win this competitive handicap with Coole Cody a chief contender once again. It's probably best to forgive Simply The Betts's run in the Cotswold Chase and he is another serious player back from a break.
