Un De Sceaux has shown a liking for Cheltenham in the past and we're hoping he can score for the second time at the festival in the Ryanair Chase (2.50).

He won the Racing Post Arkle two years ago before finishing second to Sprinter Sacre in the Champion Chase 12 months ago and he won the Clarence House Chase over the course in January. He's stepping up in trip here but that isn't a concern as he won at the distance over hurdles and we think he stays quite well.

It looks a good renewal but Un De Sceaux is a good jumper and he pulls out plenty at the end of his races, so we're very hopeful he will come out on top and give us a second win in the race, which we won with Vautour a year ago.
