In 2008, Inglis Orever was northern trained favourite in Cheltenham’s championship races. After 10 years, Sam Spinner considered to go off the market. Although La Bangue Au Roi, Yanworth Supasundae are big competitions to beat. Latest price: 5/1

• Waiting Patiently (Ryanair Chase) - Latest price is 9/2. Only go for it, if ground is soft or softer. Even still wait can be there for Punches town or Aintree. Brilliant prospect is needed to handle a seven- year old to make straight to Aintree.

• Cloudy Dream (Ryanair Chase) - Latest price is 16/1. As long the ground is decent, cloudy dream is a great choice. Also, considered as lethal on good ground.

• Definitely Red (Timico Cheltenham Gold cup) – Latest price is 16/1. Training in the north and ridden by Danny cook, unfashionable jockey make him overpriced 16/1. However, the victory in the Cotswold chase make Definitely Red a bombproof.

• Testify (Five Entries) - Latest price is 33/1. Unbeaten over fences, Testify is one of Donald McCain’s five entries. In the betting list of Cheltenham Festival 2018, William Hill have Testify for all five races.

• Vintage Clouds (Three entries) - Latest price is 25/1. Positioned fourth in the Welsh National, Vintage clouds is consistent. Although The grand National is his main target, prep race might be given by Sue Smith at the Festival.

• Forest Bihan (Grand Annual Chase) – Latest price is 25/1. Apart from disappointing performance in last few races, allowing Forest Bihan to run in Grand Annual going to be interesting.
