Cheltenham: Kingswell Theatre heads delayed Cross-Country Chase

The Glenfarcas Cross Country Handicap Chase at 3 7-8 miles at Cheltenham was scheduled for Friday, but postponed until this afternoon when the Friday card was lost because of excessive rain.

The race has a post time of 8:15 a.m., Eastern, and drew a solid field of 10.

Kingswell Theatre, the 10-year-old gelding, is a strong favorite over the 11-year-old Urgent de Gregaine. Weight may play a role. Kingswell Theatre will carry 156 pounds, 10 less than topweight Urgent de Gregaine. Over an extended course that could make a difference. 

But Urgent de Gregaine was third in the cross-country chase against a tougher field here in March and that experience is valuable.
