No More Heroes can land RSA Chase

Gordon Elliott has given No More Heroes a perfect preparation and the imposing seven-year- old is fancied to land the RSA Chase at Cheltenham today.

A year ago, the selection went to Prestbury Park for the Albert Bartlett Hurdle, on the back of a very disappointing effort at Leopardstown, finishing fifth of seven in a Grade 2 hurdle behind Outlander.

It was then hard to make a case for him come March, but he ran a cracker to take third behind Martello Tower and Milsean. That was encouraging, but still left No More Heroes a fair way down the pecking order when it came to the novice hurdlers.
