Take a Photo opportunity

AL BOUM PHOTO follows the same route before attempting to make it three victories in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in today’s Savills Chase for the third time at Tramore.

For the last two years AL BOUM PHOTO ( 2.37) has made a winning debut in the Grade 3 chase and there is no reason, bar a fall, that he cannot repeat that feat.

The gelding has the most to fear from his Willie Mullins, below, stable companions Acapella Bourgeois and Brahma Bull but, in reality, they are only making up the numbers.

The gelding will go off at an unbackable price, but it might be advisable to take the 9- 2 for the Gold Cup before he runs today.

SEBASTOPOL

( 1.20) will now be ready to open his seasonal account at Musselburgh after his promising return when sixth behind Floressa at Newbury in November.

A repeat of ROSIE AND MILLIE’s ( 1.55) penultimate run when second behind Buzz at Ascot in November gives her a cracking chance. Today’s forecast of good to soft ground will be ideal.

Paul Nicholls looks to maintain his excellent run of success with WHISKEY LULLABY ( 3.35), who will benefit from the first- time cheekpieces.

The Nicholls- trained POZO EMERY ( 1.05, nap) is taken to step up on his promising bumper run by making a winning hurdling debut at Exeter.

The consistent LADY KK ( 1.40) is on an attractive mark on her handicap debut.

Smart hurdler

LIMITED RESERVE

( 2.25) has not set the world on fire over fences, but is worth another chance with cheekpieces fitted for the first time today.

ASK ME EARLY ( 2.50, nb) made an impressive winning start over fences at Chepstow last month and can follow up in this weak affair.

Nicholls also has the answer in the finale with FLEMENSTIDE ( 3.55, treble). The gelding showed plenty of promise when second behind No Ordinary Joe at Sandown in November.
