In depth

Verdict

Jubilympics never figured at Cheltenham last time but is eased in grade for this. Rectory Oak only won by a short-head at Wincanton five weeks ago and is 4lb higher while Arbennig has gone up 2lb for finishing second at Stratford. BALKARDY (NAP) beat more-experienced rivals at Plumpton last month having run well on his chasing bow at Taunton. There should be more to come so a 5lb rise looks manageable.
