    Cheltenham Nap/Lay/ EW

    Bit early for this but as of now my thinking would be: Nap - Fact to File (Ryanair) or Stumptown if Fact to File heads Gold Cup Lay - Lulamba EW - Thedeviluno (A Bartlett) or The Reverend (Supreme)

    2026 Glenfarclas Cross-Country Chase (A Limited Handicap)

    Yeah I completely get the price/trading angle, not sure I could get heavily interested in a 6yo that's never run over banks but Cottin knows the time of day and what it takes to win one of these so you have to respect her. If taking the 20s I'd be looking to trade off for a free bet...
