This is probably a fairly winnable race. Wakey Wakey Man looks a promising candidate for success, having run third on his first start for Cian Collins at Clonmel last time. An eye-catching finisher for the Racing Post there. Jordan Gainford rides. Can be played at 7-1.

Harry Cobden (SR 21%) is booked to ride Cameletta Vega for Willie Mullins. Relatively unexposed maiden hurdle winner, yet to build on that promise. May be reasonably well weighted in a handicap hurdle on a mark of 121 (carries 10-11).

Only up 3 pounds for a strong run over course and distance last month. Roc Na Hearth is lowly weighted here (10 stone 1 pound). Some solid efforts but still looking for first win over hurdles. Good chance at these weights.

Galopin des Champs has a great record here at Leopardstown and has won the last two runnings of this Savills Chase. Selected to score again at odds of 2-1.

Sean Cleary O'Farrell claims a 7 lb allowance on Willie Mullins-trained Uncle Pat, who is allotted a low weight of 10 stone anyway (1 lb out of the handicap). Some fair efforts over fences before a poor show last time, and he might come on for that recent outing. First time in a handicap chase.

Panjandrum

Second in a Listed bumper last time but might be a little better than that (pestered for the lead). Won a fairly decent bumper previously. By Blue Bresil out of a Kayf Tara mare, so a longer trip is likely to suit.

This is wide open. Gone For Tea looks a big price at 66-1, making a second start for Ian Patrick Donoghue, with cheekpieces tried now. She ran some decent races and won a mares' handicap hurdle for Peter Fahey before a previous absence.

King of the Road is chanced. Second in this race last year to a good sort but has failed to back up that form since. Return to Kempton and drying ground is likely to help. Ben Pauling (SR 28%) yard in good form. Runs off a mark two pounds lower than last year. Callum Pritchard claims 3 lb allowance and new headgear is applied.
15:05 3:05 Kempton
Ionian
Daily Racing
Ionian has come in for strong market support. Nicky Henderson (SR 26%) recruit from Points. By Blue Bresil, like the owner Michael Buckley's Constitution Hill. High-grade maiden hurdle start but expected to go well.

@3.75

-50
Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith (SR 25%) have been in excellent form, especially with staying chasers, so The Big Breac looks a strong choice here. Still low in the handicap, second bottom in the weights. Solid efforts in two chase starts so far, winning at Wetherby and running a close third at Newcastle over further (3m 6f) last time. Has a big shout.
14:55 2:55 Leopardstown
Solsbury Hill
Daily Racing

Suspicion there might be more to come from Solsbury Hill. Allotted 10-09 and Charlie O'Dwyer claims five pounds. Decent over hurdles and ran out an 11-length winner at 14-1 at Roscommon in August on first start over fences. Dropped a couple of pounds coming into this race and back from a short break.
14:30 2:30 Kempton
Fact To File
Daily Racing
Plans were changed late by Willie Mullins and JP McManus' racing teams to send Fact To File to Kempton instead of the Savills Chase at Leopardstown. Emphatic winner of the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham last season. Good second to Galopin Des Champs in last season's Savills Chase. Has won over three miles before. Player.

Benny Baloo won a novice's chase over 3 miles on the Boxing Day card two years ago for the former yard of Tim Easterby and has dropped back to that winning mark of 79. Makes third start for Evan Williams here. Stays this trip well. Chance.
14:20 2:20 Leopardstown
Romeo Coolio
Daily Racing
The drop to two miles may not be ideal for Romeo Coolio, but he has been quietly impressive in his first two starts over fences. A nine-length winner of a Grade 1 (2 miles) hurdle on this card last year, so he should be well up for this. Gordon Elliott (SR 23%) and Jack Kennedy (SR 36%) are still in excellent form.
14:15 2:15 Aintree
Kelce
Daily Racing
Kelce has won two of eight starts over fences, each over three miles. Heavy ground didn't suit last time at Cheltenham. May still be well handicapped off a mark of 117, and Toby McCain-Mitchell claims 5 lb. Neil Mulholland trains. A contender.

Maybe it is time to start taking Golden Ace seriously. 25-1 winner of the Champion Hurdle in March and 22-1 winner of the Fighting Fifth last time out. This mare by Golden Horn receives a 7-pound mares' allowance.

Nordic Glory is chanced. Poor run last time, but better drawn today. Plenty of good runs over course and distance in the form book. Eight wins from 45 AW starts. Ryan Kavanagh's 5 lb claim is useful. This might be a little less competitive than the last two starts over course and distance (third on the penultimate run).

Chloe's Courage is chanced. Inconsistent 3yo filly by Iffraaj. Winner on penultimate start at Chelmsford by over two lengths. Has run some good races when away well but has been poor when starting slowly. Everything went wrong over course and distance last time, although she showed some speed when drifting extremely wide on the turn. Return within five days is a positive, as is trainer John Butler's current strike rate of 25%. Darragh Keenan rides.

Hitched is very capable at Lingfield and has finished first, second, and first in three previous efforts over the ten furlongs here. In decent form, finishing second and third on the last two outings at Wolverhampton. Of obvious interest back here, running off a mark just a pound higher than for the previous win.

Easy 12-length winner of a Mares' Chase over course and distance on New Year's Day off OR102. Has run well since then without winning. Fair run on return and could come on for that outing just under a month ago. Runs off OR103 today, only one pound off bottom weight in this mares' handicap chase.

Sean Bowen is booked for Makingplansfor. Surprised with a big run at 40-1 on debut maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot. The form has since been franked by the third. He ran in a Listed race at Cheltenham next time in tough conditions. This drop back in grade should be considerably easier, with only the newcomers looking like likely dangers. Polytrack may bode well given trainer David Evans.

Trainer Tom Ellis has had some notable runners this weekend. Crackerjack Queen has a nice pedigree, by Jack Hobbs out of a Listed-winning mare trained by Harry Fry.

Useful in mares' bumpers. Supreme Malinas got the job done well, beating A Path To Ronda by four lengths at Exeter last time. She meets that mare on level-weights terms now but receives three pounds from Jack Hobbs. Similar conditions here at Haydock as her last win at Exeter. Nice prospect. Taken to score again for Dan Skelton and Tristan Durrell.

Honesty Policy
Daily Racing
Honesty Policy has finished in the first two in all six of his starts so far. Winner of a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree and second, beaten half a length to the smart Albert Bartlett winner Jasmin De Vaux at Punchestown, Honesty Policy looks progressive and, with slightly more fluent jumping, can progress to score here for Mark Walsh and trainer Gordon Elliott (SR 27%).

My Silver Lining ran well to finish third at Ascot over 3m 5f last month and faded late there, suggesting this 3m 1f might suit better now. Having said that, she ran second in the 2024 Grand National Trial here over further off a mark of 127. Looks well handicapped on the current mark of 120, and soft ground suits.

Famoso is a nine-year-old who has scored six times over fences but is yet to win over hurdles. Returns to the flights running off a low mark of 84, having won off OR106 over fences.

Habrdi returns to action in a Class 5 after a good break of a few months. It's a further drop in grade for the four-year-old, who is yet to run well for this stable. Ruth Carr has had a couple of recent winners. Drawn decently in stall 3. Handicap mark continues to drop, so low weighted here. Has had success at further in the past, but interesting on return over Newcastle's testing six furlongs.

Bottom-weight Giant, well drawn in 2, was slowly away on the penultimate start when behind some of these.

A chance is taken on Whatmakes Honey B in a race that doesn't look particularly strong. Good amateur jockey booked in, Ed Vaughan (claims 5 lbs). Hasn't had many hurdles outings and was a 14-1 winner on his second start in handicap competition. There were excuses when pulled up on return in November. All have some questions to answer, and while stable form is weak, he looks a big price at 33-1.
