Cheltenham Race 7 - National Hunt Challenge Cup Novices' Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

BACKMERSACKME (9) rebounded in style from a below par effort two runs back to land the G3 Leopardstown Handicap Chase in impressive fashion tackling 4325m on latest appearance. Unexposed tackling staying trips and represents shrewd connections who won this 2024 renewal. NEWTON TORNADO (12) bounced back from a Newbury mishap with a dominant 6L handicap chase success at Doncaster attempting 4800m. Commands respect. WADE OUT (1) resumed delivering a solid fourth in the G2 Hampton Novices Chase at Windsor trying 4900m. Advances in journey with cheekpieces applied. Likely to feature. ONE BIG BANG (4) cannot be discounted advancing significantly in distance on the back of a creditable third over an inadequate 3800m at Doncaster.
