Cheltenham 2:10
I really can't see Footpad getting beaten (bar a fall of course) and must surely be the banker of the meeting. Hasn't put a foot wrong in any of his three races. Over hurdles he was twice beaten by Petit Mouchoir, but over fences Footpad appears to be the better. Prior to meeting they had both met Brelade on levels both winning easily. They met LTO and Footpad decided to make it a true test, leading early, the pair 15 lengths clear by halfway, he kept up a relentless pace, Petit Mouchoir after an early mistake matching him, but could never get on terms the pair clear of the remainder.
The local hope Saint Calvados has bee impressive in small field chases, but won't have met anything with the pace of the Irish duo who were third and forth in last years champion hurdle.

Forecast - Footpad to beat Petit Mouchoir
