'She's a real tank of a mare' — Dan Skelton sweet on Galia Des Liteaux in Brown Advisory

Three of the trainer's four Festival victories have come in the County Hurdle and talented novice Pembroke, along with West Cork, could seek to add to that tally

Dan Skelton has highlighted Galia Des Liteaux as his best chance of picking up a fifth Cheltenham Festival victory, providing the mare gets her optimum conditions at Prestbury Park.

The soft-ground-loving seven-year-old has looked a real versatile talent this year, with chasing successes over both two miles and three miles sandwiching her one blip in the Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton on St Stephen's Day.
