Panda Boy
PANDA BOY looks tailor-made for this and he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record in hunter chases. Con's Roc is less exposed than most in this sphere and may prove the main danger, while Its On The Line has finished runner-up in the previous three renewals of this race and can fare best of last year's protagonists.

Made his third visit to the Festival a winning one when successful in corresponding race last year. This will have been the target since winning a point in November (goes well fresh) and he should make a bold bid to defend his crown.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham3m 2f 70yGood to SoftChase1/24Cartmel2m 6f 31yGoodHurdle2/12Uttoxeter2m 7f 70ySoftHurdle3/7Newton Abbot3m 1f 170yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase4/4Cartmel3m 1f 83yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/12- 13Panda BoyJ: Mr J.

Useful type who has relished the switch to hunter chases/more positive tactics, jumping well when making it 2-2 in this sphere in determined fashion at Naas last month and that's usually a race worth following (won by Billaway/It's On The Line previously).

Runner-up in previous three renewals of this race, travelling with more zest than previously when narrowly denied last year. Went on to make it a hat-trick of successes in hunter chase at Punchestown festival subsequently and looks sure to go close again following win at Downpatrick on Boxing Day.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDown Royal3mGood to YieldingChase1/16Punchestown3m 160yYieldingChase1/14Cheltenham3m 2f 70yGood to SoftChase2/24Naas3m 175ySoftChase3/9Down Royal3mGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase2/12- 4Con's RocJ: Mr Darragh AllenT: Terence O'Brien, Ireland1-13Age 97/17/113/2

Successful pointer looked a good prospect when making it 2-2 in hunter chases at Fairyhouse in November and was coming back for more when third behind It's On The Line in a race not ideally run to suit at Downpatrick last time.

One-time high-class chaser for Willie Mullins who nearly defied a 22-month absence on hunter/yard debut, prior to making the most of a good opportunity at Fakenham last time. This is much more competitive but addition of cheekpieces/retention of Patrick Mullins can only be viewed as positives.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFakenham3m 38ySoftChase1/5Hereford2m 4f 194ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase2/5Aintree4m 2f 74ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/32Punchestown3m 130ySoft to HeavyChase4/10Thurles2m 4f 35ySoftChase2/4- 3Chemical EnergyJ: Mr B.

Runner-up in the National Hunt Challenge Cup at this meeting in 2023 and shaped much better than beaten distance when sixth in Cross Country last year.

Shaped with a fair amount of encouragement when fourth behind Wonderwall last March, prior to making the most of a good opportunity over C&D in May.

Right back to his useful best when landing the Foxhunters at Aintree last season.
