Despite plenty of chances for points scoring at Cheltenham’s International meeting there was little movement at the head of the Tote Ten To Follow leaderboard with Just William 3 9 keeping a grip on the top of the tree.

The 0.2 per cent of stables with Coole Cody in their ranks were able to pick up a 32.8 point boost thanks to his Racing Post Gold Cup win, which moved Evan Williams’ charge into ninth on the list of leading Ten To Follow horses this season.

The result also affected the teams’ leaderboard, with third home Midnight Shadow contributing 2.30 points thanks to his Tote place return and sending Size House Placers from fifth to third spot.

Even fewer stables, just 0.1 per cent, have Guard Your Dreams in their teams and so picked up a valuable 28.4 points from the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained winner of the International Hurdle. That result moved Guard Your Dreams into 17th in the top 20, one spot above Honeysuckle, who is in 78.5 per cent of lists.

The most popular Ten To Follow winner last week was My Drogo, who scored at Cheltenham for 12.4 per cent of stables, adding 11.23 points to their tallies.

Away from Cheltenham, there was a Grade Two win for Threeunderthrufive at Doncaster which moved him into eighth place on the leaderboard and earned supporters 21.58 points, while Tommy’s Oscar took his points total to 31.24 on the same card.

Other notable victories came for Two For Gold (16.00 points), The Glancing Queen (15.95) and Editeur Du Gite (15.50).
