Moscow Flyer is my banker. (Champion Chase 1515 Wed).

There are a few sneaky dark horses around. Irish trainer Tommy Cooper has a good bumper mare called Total Enjoyment. She looks a decent sort (Bumper, 1745 Wed).

BROADCASTER Cornelius Lysaght BBC Five Live racing correspondent

Azertyuiop to beat Moscow Flyer in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the race that is sure to be the most thrilling of the meeting.

TRAINER Martin Pipe Champion trainer

Of mine, Our Vic (SunAlliance Chase Wed 1435 or Cathcart Chase Thur 1710) is one I like, whatever race he runs in.

Last time at Ascot, he jumped for fun and he should be better off going left-handed.

OWNER Jim Lewis Owner, reigning Gold Cup champion Best Mate

The banker has to be Baracouda (Stayers' Hurdle, Thur 1435).

I suppose a dark horse would be my own Foly Pleasant in the Coral Cup (Wed 1600). He will be double figures in terms of a starting price but I think he's quite capable of winning.

RACECOURSE BOSS Edward Gillespie Managing director, Cheltenham Racecourse

I can't see anything beating Baracouda in the Stayers' Hurdle (Thur 1435).

BOOKIE David Hood Bookmakers William Hill

Falls when challenging for the Champion Chase in previous years haven't done Latalomne justice, he switches to the Grand Annual (1635 Thur) after a few runs over hurdles.
