JLT for Bristol Nigel Twiston-Davies is leaning towards the JLT Novices' Chase for Bristol De Mai despite giving him two other entries at the Cheltenham Festival. The five-year-old booked his place at jump racing's premier meeting when landing his third success over fences in good style at Haydock on Saturday. Twiston-Davies has covered all bases for Bristol De Mai, who is owned by Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, by giving him entries in the Racing Post Arkle Trophy and the RSA Chase as well as the JLT. "He's been a legend for us," said the Naunton trainer. "He's got entries in all three of the novice chases. Hopefully it will be the JLT he goes for. "If it's really soft, maybe the Arkle. I know there's Douvan, but a single horse can go wrong."
