Bless The Wings attempts to put up another bold display at the Cheltenham Festival in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase today.

The Gordon Elliott-trained 11-year-old was second in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup 12 months ago but has experience of the cross-country course, finishing third and fourth in races won by reopposing compatriot Josies Orders there before Christmas.

Elliott said: "He's been placed round there twice.

"The owners sponsor the yard, he's been second in the Kim Muir and he likes the place.

"If he finishes in the first four or five, it'll be a great run."
