Henry de Bromhead has arguably marked himself out as one of the top three Irish trainers in horse racing in recent years, and it is thought many of his hopes for Cheltenham have a solid chance of success, with his horses having seen plenty of backing in the run up to the festival.
In spite of this, the nine year old gelding has seen mostly each-way backing at bet365 and is still priced at an attractive 14/1. In his last run at the Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown in January, Some Plan was the sole finisher after Ruby Walsh was unseated from Royal Caviar two lengths clear and over the final fence, which saw Some Plan claim Grade One honours for the first time.
Perhaps the best backed of the de Bromhead horses going to the festival is Petit Mouchoir, who should go in the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday, priced 5/1 at bet365. In his last race the six year old set a relentless gallop to see off his rivals and claim the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown, following up on his course and distance success in the Ryanair Hurdle over Christmas.
Another de Bromhead trained horse well-fancied at the festival is Champagne West, who is set to go in the Gold Cup on Friday and many believe his chances are stronger than his 16/1 price suggests at bet365. Last run at Gowran Park in January, the nine year old produced a brilliant display in the Goffs Theyestes Chase to run out a wide-margin winner. Lumbered with a big weight at 11st 7lb, the gelding still carried David Mullins to a comfortable victory by seven and a half lengths.
