Importantly, the Henry Daly’s trainee has done well in his most recent race, which means that he is carrying terrific rhythm right now. He will be partnered by Andrew Tinkler, who has won 54 races while chasing.
On the other hand, Take Of Shoc´s will also be a strong contender for victory at Cheltenham today, as he has got a decent record in such events. He has entered four of them, winning a couple.
