Thistlecrack heads Cotswold entries


Thistlecrack will face up to ten rivals in Saturday's BetBright Trial Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham on Saturday.

Unbeaten over fences, Thistlecrack is the warm favourite for the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup following his impressive win in the King George VI Chase in his first team outside of novice company.

Speaking after his win at Kempton, Colin Tizzard nominated the Cotswold Chase as his next target and the World Hurdle winner remains on course to take his chance at Prestbury Park.

Many Clouds won the Cotswold Chase on his way to a famous victory in the 2015 Grand National and he will be bidding to emulate his achievement this season, while Alan King has declared last year's winner Smad Place.

Paul Nicholls has entered dual King George winner Silviniaco Conti, Scottish National hero Vicente and Le Mercurey with Kylemore Lough a possible for Kerry Lee following the abandonment of Ascot last weekend.

The Fergal O'Brien-trained Perfect Candidate, Anthong Honeyball's Regal Encore, Shantou Flyer from Rebecca Curtis' yard and French runner Vezelay complete the entries.
