2023 Grand Annual Odds and Entries - Aucunrisque heads a wave of Irish challengers

Here's a look through the current Grand Annual betting and a rundown of the most likely runners.

Topping the market for this year's Grand Annual is Aucunrisque, who ran out an impressive winner of the Betfair Hurdle last time out. Chris Gordon's charge had secured some impressive results over fences before that victory, and QuinnBet make Aucunrisque their 7/1 ante-post favourite.

Hollow Games, Saint Roi and Final Orders have both been handed Grand Annual entries, along with entries in the Arkle Challenge Trophy. Dinoblue has also been handed this handicap option, along with her Mares' Chase entry.

Henry De Bromhead could drop Coeur Sublime back down to handicap company. Last year's runner-up, Andy Dufresne could represent Gordon Elliott once again. Magic Daze, Riviere D'etel, Call Me Lyreen and Epson Du Houx could fly the flag for Ireland on day two of the Cheltenham Festival.

Dan Skelton has two runners sitting prominently in the market, with both Unexpected Party and Third Time Lucki penciled in to run. Other notable UK runners include Jane Williams' Fast Buck, Douglas Talking for Lucinda Russell and last year's shock winner, Global Citizen.
