£85,000 Authorized gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including dual bumper winner Moonamacaroona. Interesting newcomer for a stable in very good form.

Mastercraftsman gelding who built on his Ludlow debut fifth when seeing off 10 rivals at Doncaster (16.5f, good) a month ago, nicely on top at the finish under Brian Hughes.

Winning start to his career at Huntingdon in November and ran well under a penalty at Hereford 3 weeks later. Hooded first time. Has the form to figure.

Related to a couple of winners and has shown a fair level of ability making the frame on all 3 starts, 3 lengths second of 9 at Wincanton on latest. Cheekpieces go on.

11/2, travelled well but didn't get home on very testing ground on his 17f Aintree debut 51 days ago. Has left John Butler. Potential improver over this shorter distance.

Authorized gelding. Half-brother to 2¼m/19f chase winner in France Jafar d'Airy. Authentic Legacy possibly the stable first string on jockey bookings but the betting will provide more clues.

Made a winning start to his career in a 15-runner bumper at Exeter (13f, soft) 69 days ago, with the reopposing Sorceleur 3¼ lengths back in third. Open to progress and merits respect.

17/2, third of 11 in bumper at Ludlow (2m, soft) on debut 53 days ago, well positioned. Improvement will be needed.

4/1, some encouragement when 3¼ lengths third of 15 to reopposing Kel Du Large on Exeter debut (13f, soft) in October. In the right hands to progress.

Nutan gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Sergeant. Dam 7f/1m winner abroad. Stable likely has stronger claims elsewhere unless the betting hints otherwise.

Had a bit in hand when winning on her debut at Stratford (2m, heavy, 5/1) at the start of November. Looks a likely type for this race.

Kel Du Large (7/2), La Marquise (7/2), Dirty Den (5/1), Sorceleur (13/2), Dodger Long (15/2), Authentic Legacy (17/2), Carved In Stone (14/1), Kalif D'airy (14/1), Giddyupadingdong (16/1), Night Stalker (25/1), Kids Say Lastgojoe (25/1), Don Rafael (33/1), Staff Sergeant Len (33/1)

15:50 Cheltenham - 1 January 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

LA MARQUISE won well at Stratford and might prove the answer in receipt of weight from her male rivals. Fellow winners Dirty Den, Kel du Large and Carved In Stone head the dangers, while Authentic Legacy is a newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting.
