Having made a dream start under the guidance of Michael Carrick, Manchester United are up to fourth in the Premiership and the supporters may be beginning to dream of Champions League football next season. A win against Tottenham today would keep them in the top four. Tottenham are down in fourteenth and have only taken two points from their last three away Premiership games. Tottenham had a good win in their last away game to claim fourth spot in the Champions League. However, they have not been able to replicate their Champions League form in the Premiership, so there is every chance the dream start for Carrick may continue.

The Skeltons are represented in this race by A Pai De Nom, who was last seen finishing third in the Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle at Kempton last month. Today he drops down to Class Three company, where he won his previous two races. This will be his first time over this distance, so if he has the stamina to last then he has every chance to return to winning ways.

Last season the Dan Skelton-trained Le Milos won this race by six lengths with Harry Skelton as his jockey. Today he is one pound higher than last year, but has a seven-pound claimer on board. His last race was over three miles, where he finished second. Hopefully the step back down in trip will not be an issue. So, with the seven pounds coming off due to the jockey, Le Milos has a decent chance of winning this race for a second time.

The Nicky Henderson-trained Lulamba is currently the bookies' favourite to win the Arkle at next month's Cheltenham Festival. Last season he ran in three hurdle races, where he won twice and finished second. This season he was switched to chasing, where he has had two very comfortable victories. If the bookies have it right and Lulamba runs to his normal level, then he should be more than capable of winning this.

Following two away defeats, top-of-the-table Coventry will be glad to once again be playing in front of their home supporters. They have won four of their last five home games. Against Oxford United, who are one place off the foot of the table, another home win looks very possible.

Huddersfield are twelve places and sixteen points higher in the table than Blackpool. They come into this game having won their last three matches, two of which were at home. Blackpool have lost their last three away league games.

Fourth-place Stockport take on Leyton Orient, who are just one point outside the relegation zone. Leyton Orient have lost their last five away league games and failed to score in three of them.

When it comes to positions in the Championship table, Millwall are one place and three points higher than Wrexham. However, Millwall's away form will give the home side a decent chance of winning and moving above their opponents on goal difference. Their last nine league away games have resulted in four defeats, three draws, and one win. Wrexham's last nine home league games have seen them win five, draw three, and lose once. In those nine home games, Wrexham scored at least two goals on five occasions.

Tutti Quanti is trained by Paul Nicholls and ridden by Harry Cobden. He was last seen running over this course and distance in November where, on soft ground, he eased to a three-length success. Today he is eight pounds higher and has to give weight to all his rivals. However, he should come into this race fresh and do himself justice. He has a positive record over this course and distance, where he has won and finished second.
