Dan Skelton: Nube Negra looks fantastic for Champion Chase tilt
Published:
Ladbrokes ambassador Dan Skelton has four runners on day two of the Cheltenham Festival and he took time out from a busy period to discuss their chances.
She will love soft conditions. She gets 7lbs for being a mare and is in very good form at home. We wouldn’t have even considered sending her for this race unless the conditions were just right. I think she has a fair chance.

The conditions suit him and he is most productive in the spring each year. He will definitely have a chance as a fast run race like this will suit him. We tried to make him a graded horse this year but it didn’t quite happen. Hopefully he can land one of these big ones.
He is as well as I have had him and looks fantastic. A dry Tuesday is music to his ears. He holds his form at the very top level and I am really looking forward to running him.
He won last time and is good around the track. The ground could be a bit better for him but he is in very good form and looks fantastic. If it dries out a little he is definitely a player but he is probably a player anyway. He has run on soft before. He is in real form right now.
