"We resume with: 3.40pm - The St. James’s Place Festival Challenge Cup Open Hunters' Steeple Chase Marlborough  BOB AND CO made a very good impression on his most recent start at Haydock last month (following a wind operation), putting in what was arguably a career-best performance to score by 17 lengths. With no amateur riders allowed to participate at this year’s Cheltenham Festival, Sean Bowen keeps the ride and the pair are fancied to put in another smart performance here. Billaway’s claims are hard to ignore; runner-up in this race last year, he has won his last two hunter chases in good style and deserves his place at the head of the market. Porlock Bay is a consistent chaser and can give another good account of himself here. Marcus Armytage  Billaway – runner up a year ago and appears in good order coming into the race. Charlie Brooks  After finishing fourth last year, Staker Wallace will have been trained all year for this race. That’s JP McManus’ style. Focus on the main target. He was only a couple of lengths behind the favourite Billaway at Naas in January and I think his astute handler can find a bit more. Ed Chamberlin  Billaway - second in this last year, and comes to take his chance again after wins at Down Royal and, most recently, Naas, where he had the beating of one of Staker Wallace, one of today’s rivals."
