Montregard
A case can be made for a few in a cracking renewal of the bet365 Gold Cup but Tom Lacey's likeable MONTREGARD could prove the answer freshened up after a break with this longer distance also looking a real plus. The hat-trick seeking Havaila rates a big threat though, while Kim Muir 1-2 Ask Brewster and Road To Home seem sure to be on the premises too. In D'Or completes the shortlist.

Likeable sort who got back on the up when gaining a third success of the season in 11-runner handicap chase at Ascot (3m) in February. Freshened up since and he's a player with this longer trip expected to suit.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 7f 185yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/11Ascot2m 7f 185ySoftChase2/11Kempton Park3mGoodChasepu/7Ascot2m 7f 185yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/9Worcester2m 7fGoodChase1/8- 9HavailaJ: Caoilin QuinnT: Gary & Josh Moore22-3611Age 711/213/26/1

Exuberant type who arrives very much on the upgrade, following an impressive Newbury success with an easy victory in the Sussex National at Plumpton (3½m) 19 days ago.

A dual chase winner (around 3m) last season for Venetia Williams. Changed hands for £220,000 after and has posted solid placed efforts for his new yard in 3m handicaps here and at Ascot either side of Christmas.

Has yet to win over fences but went very close with an excellent neck second of 23 to Ask Brewster in Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3¼m) last month.

Reliable sort who bagged the Berkshire National at Ascot (3m5f) in November. Jumped better than usual when a very good second of 16 in Midlands National at Uttoxeter last month and can race off the same mark here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter4m 2f 8ySoftChase2/16Musselburgh3m 7f 76yGood to SoftChase2/7Chepstow3m 6f 136yGood to SoftChase8/17Ascot3m 5f 75yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/12Cheltenham3m 1fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase10/18- 1Resplendent GreyJ: Sean BowenT: Olly Murphy41-1020Age 812/110/111/1

Resumed with Carlisle listed race win in November. Quite lightly raced since and turned in lacklustre display in a change of headgear when fifteenth in Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival.
