'He's the best Irish challenger in the race - and he's in great nick at home'
Conor Fennelly and David Jennings get the lowdown from top Irish trainers on their leading Cheltenham hopes

Jazzy Matty
Johnny Henderson Grand Annual, 10-1
Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, 33-1
TrustATrader Plate Handicap Chase, 16-1
Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle, 33-1
He's in great form and will run in whatever race he gets into. Hopefully that's the Grand Annual, because I think that race is made for him. He loves Cheltenham and that's a big bonus. He won the Fred Winter in 2023 and ran a cracker at the October meeting this season, when the race totally went against him.
