ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the five races on ITV4 on Sunday

1.45 Cheltenham
Shloer Chase (Grade 2), 2m

Edwardstone and Sizing Pottsie have been ruled out due to the ground, so this really is Nube Negra's to lose. He was an emphatic winner of this race last year and should repeat the feat.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: NUBE NEGRA

Impressive winner of this race on his reappearance 12 months ago; strong claims

2.05 Fontwell
Vickers.Bet Southern National Handicap Chase, 3m3½f

No topweight has won this handicap in the last ten years but Full Back seeks to buck the trend for Gary and Jamie Moore. They take on last year's runner-up Almazhar Garde and chase-debut winner Southfield Harvest, who could continue the remarkable form of Paul Nicholls' yard under Bryony Frost.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: SOUTHFIELD HARVEST

Off 557 days; won his only chase; easy to think he can be good deal better than this mark

Jewson Handicap Chase, 3m3½f

Fantastikas opened his season in style last year and looks a leading player, while topweight Does He Know will have more to offer after falling at the first on his seasonal debut in a strong handicap at Kelso.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: BACK ON THE LASH

Cross-country winner here (3m6f, good) one year ago; could be set for a return to form

2.55 Cheltenham
Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle, 2m½f

Emmet Mullins and owner Paul Byrne teamed up two years ago for Greatwood success with The Shunter and the pair bid to repeat the feat with Thousand Tears, who heads the Irish challengers. Showcase winner Dads Lad reverts to hurdles for his Cheltenham return and faces the hat-trick-seeking Sonigino and unexposed Gin Coco in what is sure to be a fascinating running of Sunday's feature race.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: CORMIER

Won here in January and also ran well in County Hurdle; Ben Bromley's 7lb claim is an advantage

Sky Bet Supreme Trial Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2), 2m½f

Iberico Lord faces a formidable challenge in his first start over hurdles for Nicky Henderson, who last won this Grade 2 race with Altior in 2015. Father Of Jazz is another unknown quantity on his first start for Dan Skelton but Springwell Bay and Fennor Cross could put their winning experience over hurdles to good use.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: SPRINGWELL BAY

2-2 for Jonjo O'Neill and this highly likeable prospect could play a leading role
