Boardroom Shuffle should make it a happy return to Cheltenham today for Noel Chance. His trainer had plenty of reason to smile on his last visit to the course in March, when Looks Like Trouble romped to victory in the Gold Cup.

That was Chance's second victory in jump racing's "blue riband" event, following Mr Mulligan in 1997, and he obviously has the knack of getting the best out of a chaser.

Boardroom Shuffle had lost his way with Josh Gifford after a promising start, and had gone nearly two years without a win prior to his reappearance for Chance last term.

He showed the benefit of a change of scenery by winning his first two starts at Plumpton for his new trainer before running a good third in a competitive event at Newbury.

The nine-year-old gelding has been given plenty of time to recover from his exertions in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on St Stephen's Day and starts his second season with Chance on a favourable mark.

He should take advantage with a comeback win in the Thwaites Smooth Beer Handicap Chase. Brandy Snap is poised to give

Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, a notable victory in the Jewson Summer "National Hunt" Handicap Hurdle Final.

The six-year-old has created a favourable impression with victories at Bangor, Plumpton and Towcester to date this term and is far from harshly weighted in this £12,000 sterling-added handicap.

Darlington trainer Michael Dods is not afraid to travel and he looks to have found the perfect opportunity for Jeffrey Anotherred at Yarmouth.

The seven-furlong trip of the Tote Trifecta Stakes will be ideal for his gelding, as will the likely soft ground. The position in stall 14 of the 17 runners is an advantage here. The weights are also in favour of Jeffrey Anotherred, who has dropped 11lb in the handicap this season.

And he retains the ability to take advantage judged on his second at Newcastle in August and an always-prominent fourth last time out at Musselburgh - in a race which suited those coming from behind.

Y To Kman looks good enough to defy top-weight in the Lound Nursery Handicap.
