Lisnagar Oscar on course for Cheltenham Festival after encouraging Cleeve effort

Lisnagar Oscar came third in the Cleeve at Prestbury Park. He will go directly to the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival in March. He was a 50/1 winner in staying division at the Festival 2020. His last three starts this term have been disappointing. The gelding travelled well and jumped well under Adam Wedge. Paisley Park and Champ were the other horses in Clevee.

Pats Fancy has an entry for the National Hunt Chase after winning two of his three starts over fences. His most recent victory was an 11-length success over Imperial Alcazar in a novice event at Chepstow. Pats Fancy was due to have his final pre-Cheltenham outing at Exeter on Wednesday afternoon but he may reroute to Newbury on Friday week.

Champ v Paisley Park: Round 5 in the rescheduled Long Walk Hurdle at Kempton

In many ways, it's an unsurprising rivalry. Both horses are solid top-level 160+ performers and both are 10-years-old. They have been trained 13 miles apart their whole careers. Both are at their best over three miles. Perhaps the only surprise is that it's only round five. Yet in other ways, you would never have called it. The Champ vs Paisley…

A Grade One winner at Sandown in December, he put a number of decent horses to the sword quite easily in the Kingmaker Novices'…
