Cheltenham Race 1 - William Hill Epic Boosts Hcp Hurdle

The new season at Cheltenham begins with an open looking handicap. SUNNY SOUTH WEST (8) brings smart flat form managing a 2800m third at Listowel (Ireland) prior to scoring by 3.5L a 3400m maiden at Thurles two weeks ago. Respect as set to follow up. EAST INDIA EXPRESS (2) is a previous course winner. Drops in grade on seasonal return and the seven-year-old is proven in company having placed second at Windsor three starts ago. Worth including. NORMAN FLETCHER (13) brings consistent form after a trio of placings in lower grades including a 4400m second at Newton Abbot last week. Holds claims. JOHN BARBOUR (3) ended last campaign with a neck victory in a similar level 4200m handicap hurdle at Wincanton. Interesting on comeback run.

Second-up today. Fresh up after five months came from midfield to post a big 3.5 len win. Perth on September 23 over 4000m defeating Letterston Lily carrying 73.5kg at $6 in a hurdle. Previously second-up finished third of 15 runners at this track on November 14 over 3300m, slow track; 3 len behind French Emperor with 73.5kg at $11. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 49 days. First-up after 14 months held ground to the line finished second of 8 runners at Worcester on September 4 over 4000m, 3.5 len behind That's Nice carrying 77kg at $3.30. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Ffos Las on May 22 2025 over 3900m, 88 len behind King Roly carrying 72.5kg at $2.50. Can improve on first up performance. Will prove tough to beat.

Freshened for 34 days. Last run favourite; won by 0.8 len Navan on September 19 over 4224m defeating Sallap with 75kg at $6 in a hurdle. Run before finished fifth of 8 runners at Killarney on August 21 over 3419m, 4.5 len behind Ragmans Corner carrying 68.5kg at $8. Got up for brave win last time out but this is harder. Looking elsewhere this time.

Racing well. Last to post a big 5.5 len win. Fontwell Park on October 15 over 3800m defeating Motazzen carrying 72.5kg at $2.50 in a hurdle. The run before finished third of 12 starters at Market Rasen on September 26 over 3200m, 4.5 len behind Un Sens A La Vie with 65.5kg at $5.50. No surprise to see him in the finish again.

Racing well. Last run finished second in a small field at Newton Abbot on October 17 over 4300m, 0.8 len behind Mount Anglesby with 73.5kg at $1.70. The start before that; finished second of 12 starters at Uttoxeter on September 15 over 4000m, 3 len behind Virtual Rock carrying 76kg at $4. Sure to improve again. On a quick back up and long overdue.
