Five runners to follow at Cheltenham's November Meeting

Andy Stephens picks five runners to follow at Cheltenham's November Meeting.

The Glancing Queen won at The November Meeting four years ago. She has since progressed well over hurdles and fences. The extended 2m4f course at Cheltenham can stretch the mare. Alan King dropped her back to 2.5m in April and she won. She fell over in the yard this autumn. Her market performance may reveal more about expectations. If she is near her best, she's likely to take some stopping.

Paul Nicholls' horses have won the competition five times before. Blueking D’Oroux is another French horse that he has bought. Nicholl's horses won at Fontainebleau and Auteuil. He has won 31 of his horses since the start of October.

There are five runners to follow at Cheltenham's November Meeting.

Banbridge won his first chasing event at Gowran last month. He is entered in the 2m4f handicap chase at Cheltenham on Friday. Tommy’s Oscar, Pentland Hills, Monmiral and Glory And Fortune are other runners who have better or comparable form over hurdles.

Ga Law is the favourite to win at Cheltenham's November Meeting.

Ga Law and Demachine stand their ground among 21 confirmations on Monday afternoon. Ga Law came third in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree. Demaine hasn't run since a success at Uttoxeter on May 29. Kerry Lee's few runners this autumn haven't been pulling up any trees. Five runners to follow at Cheltenham's November Meeting.

Nube Negra and Edwardstone are going to race each other in the Arkle Chase at Cheltenham's November Meeting. Nubenegra won the race last year. Edwardston won it last season. The horse is good fresh. A dry week is forecast. If Nubel Nega wins, it will take the pressure off.
