Guide to Coral Cup Cheltenham

One of the most difficult festival races to win, the Coral Cup usually attracts a bumper field of handicappers and this year's renewal should be no different.

Aegean Dawn (10/1 various) has been ultra-impressive when winning some large field handicap hurdles and franked favouritism at Cheltenham when demolishing a 23-strong field by three-and-a-half lengths and then utilised a low weight to win an Ascot race a week later.

The form of that win has been franked with second that day Mille Chief putting himself into the Champion Hurdle reckoning since and even though Nicky Henderson's six-year-old has taken a huge hike in the weights, should be very tough to beat.

Dunguib burst on to the scene two years ago when hacking up in the Champion Bumper and showed excellent form last year when narrowly missing out on Supreme Novice glory and he has been put in at 14/1. Philip Fenton's gelding has been off the track for a while and is likely to avoid the big guns in the Champion Hurdle and this may be his preference and at 14/1 is worth a speculative punt.

For Non Stop (14/1 various), Ghimaar (14/1 various), Manyriverstocross (16/1 various) and James De Vassy (16/1 various) are all regulars in these hotly-contested handicaps but seem to find one or two too good on the day and should be avoided.
