No Silk Form Horse Details Age/Wt Jockey/Trainer OR 1 352-134 AL FEROF (FR) 22 D 11 11 - 10 Harry Skelton 162 D Skelton gr g Dom Alco - Maralta
Jockey Colours: Yellow, red star, yellow sleeves, white armlets, yellow cap, red star Notes: Timeform says: Kept fresh for the Ryanair but could manage only fourth behind Vautour and very hard to see him reversing that, especially given that his best form has come on the back of a break. (Forecast 6.50) 2 1-32548 CLARCAM (FR) 89 CD 6 11 - 10t B J Cooper 154 G Elliott b g Califet - Rose Beryl
Jockey Colours: Maroon, white star, armlets and star on cap Notes: Timeform says: Beat Vibrato Valtat in Grade 1 novice over C&D 12 months ago but has failed to progress this year, well held last 3 starts. (Forecast 67.00) 3 22F-324 GOD'S OWN (IRE) 23 D 8 11 - 10 P J Brennan 162 T R George b g Oscar - Dantes Term
Jockey Colours: Light blue, royal blue star, white and royal blue check sleeves and cap Notes: Timeform says: Best effort came when picking up the pieces in the Champion Chase behind Sprinter Sacre last time (fourth). Very best form has come over shorter but stays 2½m. Could outrun his odds. (Forecast 17.00) 4 25-2445 SOMERSBY (IRE) 23 D 12 11 - 10p B Hughes 157 M R Channon b g Second Empire - Back To Roost
Jockey Colours: Dark green, maroon stars, maroon cap Notes: Timeform says: Popular warrior who was a creditable fifth in the Champion Chase at his eighth consecutive Cheltenham Festival 3 weeks ago but minor role best he can hope for here. (Forecast 51.00) 5 211-121 VAUTOUR (FR) 22 D 7 11 - 10 R Walsh 174 b g Robin Des Champs - Gazelle De Mai W P Mullins
Jockey Colours: Pink, light green spots, pink sleeves and cap Notes: Timeform says: Won at last 3 Cheltenham Festivals, including easy winner of Ryanair 3 weeks ago. Potentially the best chaser in training and very hard to oppose. (Forecast 1.33) 6 4-1334F VIBRATO VALTAT (FR) 22 7 11 - 10t Sam Twiston-Davies 161 gr g Voix Du Nord - La Tosca Valtat P F Nicholls
Jockey Colours: Dark blue, white sleeves, dark blue diamonds and cap Notes: Timeform says: Won Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter on his first start this season and held form since. Fell 4 out in the Ryanair but is proven over an easy 2½m. (Forecast 34.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: VAUTOUR hammered the likes of Al Ferof in the Ryanair at the Cheltenham Festival and, as potentially the best chaser in training, he is fully expected to repeat the dose.
