Jamie Codd, Philip Kirby, Michael Scudamore and Tim Vaughan join the panel

Which was the most significant performance during Cheltenham’s Showcase meeting?

Jamie Codd, jockey Slate House jumped well in his novice chase and he could be a very exciting horse for the Tizzards, while away from Cheltenham Battleoverdoyen, who made an impressive winning debut over fences at Galway yesterday, is a monster. He was bought to be a chaser and hopefully he can go all the way.

Philip Kirby, trainer Tobefair ran a very good race with an awful lot of weight in the three-mile handicap hurdle. I’d imagine he’d take plenty of beating if they switched him back to fences as he’s rated 132 and he’ll look very well handicapped.

Charles Hitchings, Sporting Index With the ground so testing I doubt the results will have much significance come March. However, the two-mile novice chase on Friday was a cracking race. Al Dancer bounced back to form and will be a top contender for the Arkle, while Getaway Trump will improve and looked all over the winner until meeting the climb to the line.
