Exciting novice chaser Stay Away Fay has been declared for the Grade 2 Cotswold Chase, with the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding aiming to prove his credentials against experienced stayers. He will face Irish raider Capodanno, last year's victor Ahoy Senor, Royale Pagaille, The Real Whacker and Datsalrightgino, who is looking to confirm his place in Graded company after a success in the Coral Gold Cup.

Trainer Willie Mullins has made the decision to split his runners across the Cheltenham and Doncaster cards, with Lossiemouth heading five runners in the Unibet Hurdle. Last year's Triumph Hurdle winner will be having her first outing in open company and faces some interesting competition in Love Envoi, Guard Your Dreams, First Street and Rubaud.

There were no surprises amongst the declarations for the Grade 1 Clarence House Chase, with Jonbon set to take on five rivals. Although he will be partnered by James Bowen for the first time after Nico De Boinville made the decision to step down from all weekend rides, Jonbon will be a hot favourite against an all British-trained field. Last year's victor Editeur Du Gite heads the opposition, with December Gold Cup winner Fugitif, Elixir du Nutz also expected to appear.

Paisley Park will be aiming for a record-breaking fourth success in the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle and will face old foes Dashel Drasher and Champ, alongside a new face for the staying hurdle division – 2022 Grand National hero Noble Yeats.

Elsewhere in the UK, eighteen runners have been declared for the Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster, with an exciting under-card to enjoy. Whilst Lossiemouth will head to Cheltenham, her two stablemates Ashroe Diamond and Gala Marceau are set to oppose in the Grade 2 Great Yorkshire Rose Mares Hurdle, against Nicky Henderson's Luccia and You Wear It Well. Mark Walsh has been booked to ride Jeriko Du Reponet in the Rossington Novices' Hurdle on the same card, with the JP McManus-owned gelding aiming to book his place in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Festival.
