'Three miles on softer ground and you’ll see a completely different horse'

Gordon Elliott, trainer of Fury Road
The ground was quick enough for Fury Road at Leopardstown. He wasn’t actually beaten too far. Three miles on softer ground around Cheltenham and you’ll see a completely different horse. I have a lot of respect for Paul Nolan’s Latest Exhibition and he’s the one we all have to beat.

Paul Nicholls, trainer of Cat Tiger
He is not a definite runner as we may decide to wait until Aintree the following month with him.

David Pipe, trainer of Ramses De Teillee
The Albert Bartlett is the plan. His last two hurdle wins have been of a high standard, he’s battled very well and that’s what we’re aiming towards. I think he has a lot of the right credentials. Because he's a chaser going back hurdling a lot of people will probably overlook him, but it has been done with those types of horses before and he handles Cheltenham, handles any ground and doesn’t mind the big occasion. He jumps, stays and battles so ticks a lot of the right boxes.
