2024 Hunters' Chase Entries
David Christie is one of the top trainers in this sphere and it's his leading hunter chaser, Ferns Lock who leads the way in the betting. Emmet Mullins' Its On The Line finished second in this race as a six-year-old 12 months ago and got the better of Ferns Lock when the two met at Down Royal earlier in the season.
Sitting just behind the market leaders is former two-time Cheltenham Festival winner Samcro, who's returned to form between the flags this season. Christopher Barber's Famous Clermont sits prominently in the market, along with last year's shock winner of this race, Premier Magic.
Ellmarie Holden could be represented by multiple point-to-point winner Hitak. Paul Nicholls will be hoping to see Secret Investor get further than the first fence this year. Rocky's Howya is also entered, despite not running since a win over Its On The Line back in May.
2022 winner, Billaway could make his fifth appearance on day four of the Cheltenham Festival. Other likely runners include David Christie's duo of Vaucelet and Ramillies, Fier Jaguen for Bradley Gibbs, Hannah Roach's Time Leader and another Emmet Mullins entrant, Romeo Magico.
