Aye Right in line for Cheltenham Gold Cup bid at 2022 Festival

The popular gelding is co-trained by Gary Rutherford and finished third behind Chantry house in the Grade Two Cotswold Chase in late January. The nine-year-old was the winner of the Listed Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle in November. He finished a third-placed run in Ultima Chase, but his connections will opt for the Gold Cup instead. Graham believes the course will suit him better. The owners Geoff and Elspeth Adams are keen for him to go for that.

Aye is in line for Cheltenham Gold Cup bid at 2022 Festival. Recommended bets are advised to over-18s. National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133.

The Cheveley Park-owned chaser was last seen winning the Punchestown Gold Cup by 14 lengths over three miles from Clan Des Obeaux in the April of 2022 and he missed a planned return in last season's Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival due to an abdominal bleed.

Down Royal preview: Gerri Colombe heads Gordon Elliott team

While the seven-year-old lost his unbeaten record at the Cheltenham Festival in March when beaten a short head by The Real Whacker, he gained some compensation in the Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree. That victory took his record under rules to eight wins from nine outings, with three victories at the top level already. Elliott has already stated…

Willie Mullins was responsible for 11 of the 16 runners who contested the three Grade 1s on the opening day of the Punchestown Festival and he had a 1-2 in the Champion Novice Hurdle and a 1-2-3-4 the Champion Chase.

Cheltenham Festival 2023: which sires and dams made the headlines?

Honours among the sires were very evenly spread over the week but a last-day double for Shantou, courtesy of Stay Away Fay in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle and Impervious in the Mares' Chase, meant that the 1996 St Leger winner, who died in 2021, was the only sire to boast more than one winner. Shantou had been successful at the Festival in…

Mark Walford on Into Overdrive

It's a sign of the times that only a select few National Hunt trainers based in Britain will head to this year's Cheltenham Festival with what could be described as a strong chance of having a winner, such has been the dominance of the Irish at the meeting in recent years. And that's just Britain as a whole. It has become even more of a struggle…

The winner of six of his eight starts over fences, the eight-year-old had run a fine race in the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day before unseating Charlie Deutsch at the last fence, where he just looked to be held at the time by Bravemansgame.

Nicky Henderson's Constitution Hill is long odds-on to lift the Champion Hurdle crown in March following his latest demolition job in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day. And while connections of the unbeaten five-year-old are unlikely to be quaking in their boots, State Man gave further evidence he may well prove his biggest threat with…

For once, you couldn't blame Matt Chapman's enthusiasm. "Nicky, you were rated 6lb below Istabraq going into that, have we seen, arguably, the greatest hurdler of the modern era just now?" Nicky Henderson, watery eyed at Newbury, 300 miles away from the scene of the Betfair Fighting Fifth, tried his best to play it cool. "Now now, hang on a minute,…
