ITV4 TIPS

GIN COCO has the right profile for the Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle (2.55) at Cheltenham tomorrow.

The Harry

Fry-trained six-year-old signed off last spring with a second in a handicap hurdle at Punchestow­n before returning with a 1-3 stroll in a novice event at Newton Abbot last month.

This assignment demands much more, but Johnny Burke’s mount has the potential to go past his current BHA mark of

131.

The Grade 2 Shloer Chase (1.45) presents the perfect opportunit­y for EDWARDSTON­E to make a winning return.

His four-and-a-halflength Arkle Trophy victory at Cheltenham in March rates the best performanc­e by a two-mile novice chaser, and the Alan King (above) trainee has plenty more to give.

Top weight DOES HE KNOW gets the vote for the Jewson Handicap Chase (2.20), while SPRINGWELL BAY

appeals in the Grade 2 Sky Bet Supreme Trial Novices’ Hurdle (3.30).

At Fontwell, CYCLOP

should find the stamina test presented by the Southern National Handicap Chase (2.05) ideal as he reverts to fences after a second at Musselburg­h 10 days ago on his comeback.
