Paul Kealy's Cheltenham banker on Friday

Tritonic
1.20 Cheltenham

It might seem like madness opposing the Irish in the novice hurdles but we know exactly how good Tritonic is from his Flat exploits against Group performers and the speed he showed at Kempton last time was spellbinding.

He has a good horse to beat in Zanahiyr, but he's going to relish the hill and the ever quickening ground and if his jumping holds up he must go close. He's well over a stone superior on the Flat to Alan King's two previous Triumph winners.
