What they say: 'I've trained him very much with Cheltenham in mind'

Gordon Elliott, trainer of Run Wild Fred, Farouk D'Alene, Braeside, Fury Road and Frontal Assault
Run Wild Fred missed his race at the weekend but he’ll go on to the National Hunt Chase. He’ll go there fresh and he likes nice ground, so we’re happy with him heading straight there. Farouk D’Alene and Braeside both ran well at the weekend and we’re very happy with them. It’s too early to say what we’re going to run them in for sure. Fury Road is another who will definitely be at the festival, but he’s entered in the handicaps and the novices and I’m not sure where he’ll run yet, but Frontal Assault will be aimed at the Kim Muir.

Noel Meade, trainer of Diol Ker
I don’t think he’ll end up in the National Hunt Chase. He’s more likely to go for a handicap. He’s entered in the Ultima and the Kim Muir.

Gavin Cromwell, trainer of Vanillier
He seems to be really coming to hand now. I was much happier with his jumping last time at Naas and staying the trip certainly won't be a problem. I've trained him very much with Cheltenham in mind.
