R2 Cheltenham Calipto. Not entirely convinced by Garde La Victoire's jumping despite his win at Uttoxeter last time and he represents very poor value at around 4/6. The selection was a very good hurdler at his best and won impressively on his chasing debut with a good round of jumping. Handles soft ground well and is excellent value to upset the favourite here at 4/1.
R3 Cheltenham Simply Ned. Comes into this in top form having defied a big weight in a good race at Kelso last time. Has run well here in the past and looks the one to beat today with a question mark still over Sprinter Sacre (who will find this ground plenty soft enough in any case). 3/1 is a good price for Simply Ned.
R4 Cheltenham Devilment E/W. Very classy performer who likes soft ground. Won well here on his reappearance and looks likely to go well again today despite his big weight. This doesn't look the strongest renewal of this famous race and he can make the first four at least at a very attractive 16/1.
