Poquelin looks poised to pounce

FOUR impossible-to-solve handicaps, on a six-race programme, make Cheltenham this afternoon a less than enticing prospect.

Poquelin is a hopeful nap choice in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase. The ground has come right for Paul Nicholls' seven-year-old and he is the one to beat.

He has clearly been trained with this one race in mind and has been rested since landing a competitive handicap at the track back in December.
