Don Cossack checks in for Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham

Don Cossack faces 13 rivals as he puts his unbeaten record on the line in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival tomorrow.

Gordon Elliott’s charge has won each of his four starts this season, including the Grade One John Durkan Chase at Punchestown back in December and his recent 44-length stroll in the Kinloch Brae at Thurles in January.

The Nicky Henderson-trained Ma Filleule has been the subject of support in recent days and she will clash again with Alan King’s Balder Succes, who had her back in second in the Ascot Chase on their most recent outing.
