Glengouly
GLENGOULY produced the biggest shock in the history of the December Gold Cup when making all from 7 lb out of the handicap, yet he was capable of even better form when with Willie Mullins and can confirm that performance wasn't a fluke. Twinjets is clearly thriving and rates the main threat, though the classy but fragile Jungle Boogie is an interesting runner starting out for a new yard and switched to a handicap for the first time.

Useful chaser for Willie Mullins and back to that level when causing a surprise from 7 lb out of the handicap in December Gold Cup over C&D 19 days ago, making all. Races off 3 lb higher here so player with a repeat.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase1/10Cheltenham1m 7f 199ySoftChase4/11Aintree1m 7f 176yGood to SoftChase3/9Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGoodHurdle10/10Market Rasen2m 5f 89ySoftChasepu/8- 3TwinjetsJ: Harry CobdenT: Paul Nicholls/52P-11Age 94/14/17/2

Perfect start to this season when landing a 7-runner contest at Fontwell and took a big step forward when following up at Newbury, again making all.

Better than ever when winning last season's Paddy Power Gold Cup over C&D. Followed that with a series of lesser efforts, though, including when well behind Glengouly in December Gold Cup here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase7/10Cheltenham2m 4f 44ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase8/12Chepstow2m 3f 98yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase2/4Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGoodChase7/10Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase12/20- 2MatataJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies133-733Age 813/215/27/1

Headstrong sort but developed into a very smart chaser last season, winning a brace of handicaps, including over 2m here. Back to near best when third at Kelso 25 days ago but stamina for this far remains unproven.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 1f 14ySoftChase3/9Cheltenham1m 7f 199ySoftChase3/6Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase7/9Aintree2m 3f 200yGoodChase3/4Newbury2m 92ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5- 4RiskinthegroundJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton117-419Age 913/213/26/1

Enjoyed a fine time of it last term, scoring 6 times, including Silver Trophy at Cheltenham in April. Proved game when resuming winning ways in small-field chase at Newton Abbot before trip too far in Coral Gold Cup. Career-high mark is the concern.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury3m 1f 214yGood to SoftChase9/24Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yGood to SoftChase1/4Market Rasen2m 5f 89yGoodChase4/15Sandown Park2m 4f 10yGoodChase7/9Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGoodChase1/10- 9Just Over LandJ: Benjamin MaceyT: Sam Thomas54P4-11Age 77/113/215/2

Has returned better than ever, winning at Fontwell before following up at Chepstow. More needed to complete hat-trick, however (10 lb out of the handicap).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 3f 98yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/8Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/4Leicester1m 7f 201ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase4/5Windsor3m 4f 162ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/11Ffos Las2m 5f 110yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase4/9- 6Grandeur D'ameJ: Tom BellamyT: Alan King520P-F0Age 108/18/19/1

Useful chaser who shaped well on his Stratford reappearance in October, leading for long way before weakening and fell last. Probably found the trip too far at Newbury since but again didn't convince with his jumping. Went close off 2 lb higher in similar event over C&D 11 months ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury3m 1f 214yGood to SoftChase17/24Stratford-on-avon2m 3f 98yGood to Soft (Soft in places)ChaseF/8Aintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChasepu/30Cheltenham3m 1fGood to SoftChase12/24Cheltenham2m 4f 127ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/11- 7Moon D'orangeJ: Callum PritchardT: John McConnell, Ireland4-77200Age 810/110/19/1

Came from well off the pace to win a similar event over C&D last winter.

Fragile but highly talented performer who was sixth in 2024 Gold Cup on only fourth chase start. Made a winning return at Ascot last season but pulled up in Ryanair over C&D only start since. Needs to be close to best to defy opening mark for new yard on return (has left Henry De Bromhead).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChasepu/9Ascot2m 5f 8yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/4Cheltenham3m 2f 70ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase6/11Tramore2m 6f 170yHeavyChase1/6Cork2m 160ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Chase4/6
