Peregrine looks ideal type to swoop in Coral Cup

Peregrine Run
Coral Cup
This upwardly mobile novice hurdler has an Albert Bartlett entry, but with a provisional weight of 10st 8lb in the Coral Cup, which is unlikely to go up much above 11st even should a bunch of the highest-weighted horses come out, connections will surely be tempted to target this 2m5f handicap. Peregrine Run is the ideal type for the Coral Cup, being a course winner who is most effective in a truly run race, given he is a strong traveller with a potent finishing burst. He is the only horse to have beaten Wholestone (fancied for the Albert Bartlett) at Cheltenham and looks well treated.

Hawk High
Martin Pipe Hurdle
This seven-year-old is also entered in the Coral Cup and County but could struggle to get into either of those. He needs only two to come out of the Martin Pipe, so you’d think he's pretty much certain to get in. He has run just once since last year’s festival – when ninth in the County, before which he’d also had just the one outing that season –and it was an encouraging run to be a keeping-on third under a big weight at Doncaster. He won the Fred Winter three years ago and at 33-1 makes plenty of appeal for the conditionals’ race this time around.

Holywell
Ultima Chase
With festival form figures of 1142, could the ten-year-old Holywell be set for one final hurrah at the showpiece of jumps racing? His recent figures of 70P0 would suggest not, but rewind to last year and he put in a mulish effort in Doncaster's Sky Bet Chase prior to running in the Ultima and it didn't stop him finishing a great second. He is now on a 5lb lower mark of 148, and following a similarly dismal effort in this year's Sky Bet Chase he's now only 3lb higher than when winning this race in 2014.

Dandridge
Grand Annual
An improved performer in the second half of last season, when he won at Doncaster before finishing second in both the Grand Annual and Red Rum Chase, the Arthur Moore-trained eight-year-old appreciates good or good to soft ground. He's had a light campaign, including a couple of runs over hurdles, and gets into the race on a rating only 2lb higher than his Irish mark and 1lb higher than the mark he ran off at Aintree on his final start of last season. Moore has sent out two winners of the event – Fadoudal du Cochet (2002) and Tiger Cry (2008) – and Dandridge rates a serious chance of becoming his third.
