15:20 cheltenham Thursday 12th March 2026

The 2024 winner of this contest TEAHUPOO (11) was a close second in this last year. Bids for a season hat trick following a narrow victory in the 2m4f G1 Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse before an easy 7L success attempting the 4700 G1 Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown. Top selection. BOB OLINGER (2) won this event twelve months back. Provided just the one outing since during December when 7L second running behind the top pick at Leopardstown. Arrives unbeaten at Cheltenham (four from four). Main danger. IMPOSE TOI (8) managed to win the 3m G2 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury before winning the 3m G1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot and delivering a 7L second in the course and distance G2 Cleeve Hurdle. Every chance. BALLYBURN (1) made the frame both attempts this campaign trailing the main selection. Interesting.
