Saturday Double...

Cheltenham 13:00 - Aigle D'or
2m 4f, Class 1 Novice Hurdle - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

A Run away winner at Lingfield last time, John P McManus's novice is held in high regard by the Nicky Henderson yard. Sure to be suited by further in time, today's extra furlong and testing track should bring about extra improvement. This is a stable to be on the right side of at present and The Analyst is hoping to get today's double off to a flyer.
1st 7/4f

Aigle D'or overcame greenness to win by 3 1/2l in the opener at Cheltenham today. This exciting recruit will improve again for this experience and Nicky Henderson has some useful novices to bring back and challenge for major honours in March.

Cheltenham 15:50 y- Inglis Drever
3m, Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle - Go0d to Soft, Soft in Places

Champion stayer, Inglis Drever is as tough and as classy as they come. Beaten in this race last year by Alan King's Blazing Bailey, the Drever will be looking to make amends and take another step on the way to defending his world hurdle crown. Racing off level weights and in ideal ground, makes Howard Johnson's charge very hard to oppose. Richard Johnson gets the leg up today hoping to become the 5th jockey to win on the outstanding 9 year old.

1st 11/8f

The toughest staying hurdler on the planet again put in a performance to remember by running on strongly to beat old foe Blazing Bailey by 5l. Being typically bustled along from a long way out, Richard Johnson used all his strength to bring the Drever upsides jumping the last. Once in front no horse in training who stays on up the Prestbury Park hill better than Howard Johnson's brave gelding.
