Cheltenham Race 6 - Three Counties Christmas Open Nh Flat Race (Listed) (Gbb Race)
BUD FOX (2) Back from a break of 28 weeks. Bolted in when winning by a margin of 4 1/4L last time at Punchestown and having second race start. Can get the job done. CHICKER (3) Rocketed home when winning last run here and dropping in grade. Ultra competitive this campaign with 2 wins from as many starts. Has a nice turn of foot. Appears well in this. ONLYFORFRANKIE (11) Put a gap on the rest when winning by just short of 7L last run at Roscommon and goes down in grade. First start for a new trainer. Up to these. SAINT JEANNAIS (13) Pulled away to win by a margin of nearly 8L last start at Worcester and fitter for debut run. Always seems to find the line well. Can win.
