Verdict

APPLE'S SHAKIRA has been outstanding in two previous Cheltenham efforts this season and she looks capable of making it three wins from three starts for her current yard. Elixir De Nutz is an interesting acquisition for the Phillip Hobbs yard and he may prove the main danger to the selection. Look My Way didn't look the easiest ride last time but he ought to have the measure of the remaining runners.
  1. Apple's Shakira
  2. Elixir De Nutz
  3. Look My Way
