The key form race to review for the best form for the 2010 Cross Country Chase is the Cross Country race at the Cheltenham December meeting. Once again in this race the Enda Bolger, J P McManus combination won the race with last years festival winner Garde Champetre. This win makes it 11 wins in all the cross country chase races for this trainer, owner combination, held at Cheltenham out of a total of 26 runnings.
Sizing Australia ran a cracker in second place and he could well serve up a real challange come March, Maljimar came home in third spot. This is the form that will dictate the ante post betting for the race at the 2010 Cheltenham Festival.
L'Ami had a nice warm up race in the two mile four furlong book your tickets Hurdle at Punchestown in the race won by Rite Of Passage who is probably going to go for the Neptune Novies Hurdle at the festival.
