BEST EACH-WAY

ZENTA (2.10 Cheltenham) was third to Lossiemouth in last year’s Triumph Hurdle and looks nicely handicapped in the County. A Grade One winner, she’s lightly raced and was third in a good race at Leopardstown last time.

HEAVEY’S NAP

NURBURGRING (1.30 Cheltenham) should relish what will be a stamina test for these young hurdlers in the soft ground. A sound stayer on the Flat, he looks like the type to grind his way up the hill.
