This season Fortune Dancer made the switch to chasing. She has raced three times and completed her hat-trick of wins when scoring by just over one length at Windsor on New Year's Day. She is up another six pounds for that, and, provided conditions don't get too wet, she may still be capable of winning this.

The Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies-trained Rosscahill started his racing career by winning two races over hurdles. He began this season by stepping up in distance and finished third in a hurdle race at Ffos Las. He then switched to chasing and was well supported but ran disappointingly before being pulled up. Today he is one pound lower than his last race and is fitted with cheek pieces for the first time. He takes another step up in distance while sticking to the larger obstacles. From the support he received in his last race, the way he jumped and ran was unexpectedly poor. Hopefully he can bounce back today and play a major part in this race.

Both teams have played 24 matches. Both teams have 26 points and a goal difference of -11. This indicates the match should be fairly even. Nottingham Forest had a good away win in their last away game at Brentford. In their last home game, Leeds welcomed Arsenal, where they conceded four and scored none. Forest beat Leeds earlier this season and will have every chance to complete the double.

QPR are higher than Charlton by six places. However, in their last four away Championship games they have drawn three. The last two ended 0-0.

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.
