Can Its On The Line break his sequence of three successive seconds in Cheltenham's hunters' chase?

Will we see a repeat of last year's Irish dominance in the festival hunters' chase on Gold Cup day next week? 

Last year, the first three were Irish-trained. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong end of a neck margin as Wonderwall, Rob James and Sam Curling took the honours, beating Its On The Line in a thrilling battle. 

The Gordon Elliott-trained Willitgoahead was third. Best of the home team was the Kelly Morgan-trained Music Drive, who started his career with Colin Bowe and won twice for Gordon on the track. He finished fourth, just a nose in front of Shearer for Olive and Paul Nicholls.
