Majborough heads a field of 10 for the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase on Wednesday at Cheltenham.

The six-year-old is a shade of odds-on, having apparently put his jumping problems behind him since being fitted with a pair of cheekpieces to help him concentrate during races.

His owner J.P. McManus had two winners here on Tuesday but has never won the Champion Chase before. In Majborough, though, McManus has one of the shortest-priced favourites of the week based on his devastating display at the Dublin Racing Festival. His chances of victory were increased last week when last year's winner Marine Nationale was ruled out of the race with a minor neck injury.

Majborough's trainer Willie Mullins also runs Il Etait Temps, who had been ante-post favourite for the race after beating Jonbon by nine lengths in the Tingle Creek but he fell at Ascot last time.

Henry de Bromhead runs 2024 winner Captain Guinness and Quilixios, who fell at the final fence last year on what was his most recent start.

The field also includes L’Eau Du Sud, Libberty Hunter, Saint Segal, Brookie, Found A Fifty and the novice Irish Panther.

A maximum field of 22 will go to post for the Turners Novices’ Hurdle, with Paul Nicholls’ No Drama This End the favourite.

Mullins has King Rasko Grey and Sober among his six runners while Gordon Elliott fields Ballyfad and Riskaway. Declan Queally’s I’ll Sort That is another notable Irish-trained challenger.

Henderson runs former Nicholls inmate Act Of Innocence and said: “I think this is a race where our team (Britain) is stronger and No Drama This End obviously sets a great standard.

“Our boy is pretty smart and we were trying him over a new trip at Huntingdon. Two and a half miles round Huntingdon bears no relation to two and a half round Cheltenham but he will get it and he has some toe as well, he’s a beautiful horse.”

The day’s other Grade 1 action is the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase where 16 will line up with perhaps the most notable name being de Bromhead’s Koktail Divin, who swerves the Jack Richards Novices’ Handicap.

De Bromhead also runs The Big Westerner while Mullins fields six, including Final Demand, Kaid d’Authie and Kitzbuhel.

Romeo Coolio, Wendigo, Oscars Brother and Western Fold all run in an open renewal.

There are also maximum fields in the Debenhams Johnny Henderson Grand Annual, the BetMGM Cup and the Weatherbys Champion Bumper.
