1. Slate House 2. Happygolucky 3. Cloth Cap

It has not been the best season for the Tizzard stable but a festival winner would represent a massive boost. Slate House runs his best races at Cheltenham with three wins at the track and he looks potentially well handicapped. Fourth in the Martin Pipe 12 months ago, the consistent Happygolucky was an impressive winner here in December and has been put away since to protect his handicap mark for the race.
