THE Cotswold Chase profile of going quite fast early and finishing quite slowly was reproduced in a number of other races on trials day at Cheltenham. Overall times suffer when that happens, so the timefigures quoted have been adjusted to be more informative in line with what the sectionals say about efficiency.

Best of those other races on the clock was the Cleeve Hurdle, won by Unowhatimeanharry with an adjusted timefigure of 165 from Cole Harden (156) and West Approach (152), who both received weight.
