LOOK ME does not seem to be overly strong in the market, but as Willie Mullins's only representative, he has to be judged a leading contender. Unlike the favourite, this one does not have to shrug off the exertions of Cheltenham and is both fresh and unexposed. As far as one can tell, his form in two bumpers reads well, although it is notable that this will be much the quickest ground he has encountered. His master trainer must think that is not a particular concern, though, and I am happy that Look Me is the most likely winner.

THE PERFECT POET made his debut at Fontwell last month and I was there to bear witness. In the parade ring, Ben Pauling's horse very much looked the part and the market confidence was more than justified. This comes quickly enough and is obviously a completely different test, but the horse has done nothing wrong and could play a role.

MONTY'S STAR has not been campaigned well, arguably, as he consistently takes on rivals that are just too good for him. Today is different, and affords him a chance. Lightly-raced in terms of miles on the clock for a 9-y-o, this drop down to handicap company opens up all sorts of possibilities. I fancy stamina wont be an issue, nor will the ground and I like the fact that Henry De Bromhead missed Cheltenham with his horse this year (ran in the three previous festivals) and so the selection comes here off what can be, a perfect 10-week break.

OSCARS BROTHER has run in 15-races under rules and not once has the word 'weakened' featured in the RP post-race comments. I fancy this Irish-trained 8-y-o has limitless stamina and he looks a very interesting contender, now with a large owner but still in a smaller yard. Easy enough to make a form case as well, with a trio of bloodless victories being followed by a decent run at Cheltenham in the novice chase. I would worry a little about his exposure to fields this size, but then he may be ridden near the front which, in part, would mitigate that.

TAKE NO CHANCES has comparable form with the likes of Strong Leader and Impose Toi, and so I am surprised the mare is quite so big in the market. Dan Skelton trains this 8-y-o, who ran really well at this meeting last year behind Lossiemouth, and relishes this decent ground. Granted, she still has a bit to find, and plenty will need to go right, but this looks an open race and taking one at a price each-way appeals. Fellow mare Lavida Adiva could also outrun her odds.

JOSH THE BOSS looks a very credible outsider in this staying handicap chase. Still technically a novice, this 7-y-o has done well for the Twiston-Davies yard and if it wasn't for his last run, he would be a much shorter price. At Newbury, he was beaten an awful long way out and a 6-week break may still be short enough. Still, I am in the camp that thinks this extra half mile will help and at 50/1, I am happy to take a chance.

KONFUSION has had a grand season so far and I think he is at least overpriced for this. I felt similar ahead of the Ultima and a relatively early departure means we will never know. To my eye, Sue Smith's 8-y-o is on a very good handicap mark and is also proven on this decent ground. Stamina is never a concern for one from this yard and overall, there is a lot to like at the price.

SOLDIER REEVES took a keen hold more than once over 2-miles and his 150/1 SP indicated that the step up 5f and into a Grade 1 was not likely to work. It almost did though and Dan Skelton's charge rattled home to grab fourth in the Turners at the Festival. This meeting still comes soon enough but based on that formline, one has to think that the selection has a real chance of at least another place in this.

BOLD ENDEAVOUR does not fit the age expectation to win a race like this but the 10-y-o could well make the frame at least. After a prolific spell early in his career, this horse rather lost his way for Nicky Henderson and the transfer to a smaller yard may just have proved a shrewd move. It did not, however, and three runs saw the horse drop 13 lb in the weights. In both runs since rejoining the Henderson yard, the veteran has held his own and although one of many to come here from the Pertemps (finished 7th), on this ground, the selection is fancied to run his race once again and on the maths, that would put him in the picture off his reduced mark.

FORTUNE TIMMY could yet prove to be anything and this 6-y-o is of huge interest in this handicap. Trainer Chris Gordon knows how to bring a good one along and after one defeat in a point, his hurdling runs have all been progressive. Wins in minor races at Fontwell don't tell the story but a place in a Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham in January, followed by what looked a much better run in the Grade 1 novice at the festival, hint at the horse's true ability. This step up in trip is likely to suit, and he could be a well handicapped horse.

BE AWARE has long been a horse that looks exciting and the next run is going to catapault him upwards. Despite, he has finished runner-up seven times and often falls a length short. Still, I think his price today, in a race where third place would suffice, is generous. Aintree ought to suit, the ground doesn't seem to matter and Dan Skelton's grey has the speed for this 2-mile trip. I don't really like to see a tongue strap applied; I prefer a suitabkle break, where a wind-op may have been performed but at the price, I am a buyer.

I am not sold on the favourite here and Gordon Elliott looks to have a strong challenger in KALA CONTI. Although this mare lost her way a little over hurdles, the switch to fences this season has been the making of her. The key formline is where she put 16-lengths between herself and Kargese at Cork back in December. Disappointed on soft ground at Sandown next time and that is a concern. However, the 10-week break, better ground and a bit of recent sun on her back lead me to the conclusion that she can and will bounce back today.

LAAFI looks down fron the head of the weights and that hasn't tended to be much of an advantage in this race over the years. Still, the Irish raider has classy form in the book (flat and hurdles) and remains unexposed. Campaigned carefully by his trainer, the 6-y-o has run two good races in big handicaps this season, and I like the fact that Cheltenham was missed. That means the horse is fresher than many and I think he has a real place chance at least at a big price.

WANDERING EGO takes the eye, given his slightly unusual preparation. Switched out of novice company into a handicap over Christmas, where he finished a respectable third of six. Perhaps surprisingly, he was then sent back into novice company, where he went close on heavy ground at Taunton before winning at 4/9 on better ground at Huntingdon. That 'kind' approach may see the horse fresher than some today and quite possibly, connections know that their horse is on a very good handicap mark.

MAHON'S GLORY is trading at 33/1+ on the exchange as I write, and that is way too generous. Plenty of horses jump over these fences once and then decide they don't fancy it a second time. Big efforts in both the Grand Sefton and the Becher augur well, and Dylan Cunha's 10-y-o could make another strong effort from the head of affairs. Needs to improve strictly on the handicap ratings, but these fences make the maths less important than the experience. The selection's top seven races have been earned when the ground is better than soft.

Willie Mullins has, in recent years, turned his attention the Topham, with notable success. O'MOORE PARK has a chance of adding to that success. Remarkably, this 9-y-o's best nine races (based on RPR's) have been when the horse has not won. A single success from 18-races is hardly a selling point, especially as that came on heavy ground. The fact remains though that the selection has more than enough form in the book to suggest a big effort, and with extended places on offer, rates a bet in my book.

SAINT SEGAL is a huge price and with 3-places on offer, looks an interesting wager. The key to this race is that a few had hard races at Cheltenham, and the effect of that is impossible to predict. I actually was interested in Saint Segal for the Queen Mother but a first fence blunder ended things quickly. That means the horse is relatively fresh and although this trip is not certain to suit as well as the minimum 2-miles, he has stayed it before and on this flat track with decent ground, a decent effort could be on the cards.

SOLNESS has a similar profile to my other selection in this, Saint Segal. Joseph O'Brien's raider is a bare 2-miler on the book but he has stayed further , mostly earlier in his career. Another to miss the rigours of Cheltenham, he comes here very fresh and although hardly unexposed, the 8-y-o has very much the look of one prepared for the chosen big day. Likes decent ground and that is an obvious plus here.

ACT OF AUTHORITY is notably consistent, but as an 8-y-o, finding the burst of improvement needed is a big ask. Still, a place looks well within reach at least. The selection's three best races have come when the ground is better than soft. The addition of cheek pieces looked to help at Cheltenham in the Martin Pipe, and a repeat of that effort may be good enough to reward.

It is possible that SIR GALAHAD is just another summer jumper. However, I think this 5-y-o could yet prove up to a higher standard. Key is his last run, where having already completed a 4-timer, Olly Murphy sent his horse to Cheltenham for a Grade 2 novice. Only beaten 4-lengths there, despite not coming down the hill ond on this much flatter track, neither ground nor course will be a problem. Neither should this handicap mark and a credible outsider.

Trainer Alan King looks to have a strong hand in this and his bigger priced runner, NAP HAND looks a nice win and place bet. Owned by the sponsors, this 6-y-o still has scope to progress over hurdles and remains on a very good rating, if compared to his peak efforts of the flat. With a long break before a run on the level and then one over hurdles, the selection has the profile of one laid out for a big effort and decent ground suits just fine.

DELGANY DEADLINE is comfortably the least exposed of this quartet and looks a worthy favourite. With a top yard, this 6-y-o quickly showed that 3-mile trips were needed and after an acceptable chase debut on Boxing Day, Dan Skelton's young chaser followed that with two consecutive career-best efforts. Probably wouldn't mind a drop of rain but assuming conditions are acceptable, the selection is taken to follow-up his Leicester win 40-days previous.

FOND FAREWELL was really travelling when unseating late last time and based on that, I am surprised to see his price this big. In large part, that is due to Dan Skelton's horse being very short indeed, based on a dreadful record thus far. The selection was modest on the flat over in Ireland but appears to be on a favourable handicap mark over hurdles.

I don't like these 'series' races as, all winter, cards are peppered with 'qualifier' races where there is an incentive to turn up, yet a penalty if your horse wins. Nonetheless, this is a final, and so assuming all are contenders, it looks competitive. UPFORDEBATE is an interesting outsider. A winner of five of his last eight chases, each win set a new high, and this 7-y-o looks notably progressive. The negative may be this drier ground, but connections have enlisted a 5 lb claim from the saddle, and that could be a good move. As you might expect, the selection's qualifying run (last time) saw him well beaten, but that can be ignored.

OPEN SECRET had a busy career on the flat for Charlie Johnston and was gelded very late in racing life. It was possible therefore that hurdling would not see dramatic improvement but to be fair, it has. A couple of decent maiden runs were followed by a 7-length victory in such a race at Naas. Followed that with two good efforts in graded company, including once here. On that form, I judge the 5-y-o's opening handicap mark to be generous and Gordon Elliott has a fair record in this race.

ROC DINO had the profile of one that was going to go off around 5/2 and win by 26-lengths, based purely on reputation with little evidence in support. However, the Willie Mullins 5-y-o has been notably weak and is now out to double figures. Perhaps that is now some value and the money could yet come. With three defeats in France before failing to land either maiden hurdle, I guess his profile is not great. Given his best maiden earned him an RPR of 113, a handicap mark of 131 is hardly a gift either. However, I don't believe he would be running here unless he was thought to have a real chance.

CARNFUNNOCK ran well in this last year, staying on from the back to be beaten only 15-lengths. Given the ride again, you wonder if his rider might have been able to or chosen to be a little closer early. A year on, that is an option and given the selection has been in good form (pointing) since, I see no reason for his price being quite so big. The win may be a big ask but with 4-places on offer, this still relatively young horse could well be thereabouts.

WILLEWONGA is certainly under the radar, but I think he has a squeak. This race can go to a pointer, and although I cannot really unpick that aspect of the selection's form, it is his hunter-chase efforts that caught my eye. Around this time last year, the JJ O'Shea-trained horse would probably have beaten the useful Eva's Oskar, had his jockey not lost her irons at the last. He followed up with a second to Linelee King at Leicester in a race that was very slowly run. That one is shorter in the market, and Willewonga has been matched at 460 on the exchange. I am 'only' on at 260, and for my money this horse is an exciting outsider for small stakes.

Ben Pauling has campaigned his horse well from the start and he has caught the public imagination(the horse, not Ben). On the maths, you could question whether the selection really found 16 lb on his previous best when winning the King George. Given the proximity of four at the line, the form does look genuine, and this horse could prove to be something very special. Has festival form over hurdles, and while a spin round these fences would have been a positive, I don't expect it will matter, as this 8-y-o does seem to be a fluent jumper.

Much as I don't really like the 'Potato Derby' as a betting medium, a couple of them do appeal. KING'S BUCKS looks sure to be running on, and this step up to 3 miles is an opportunity. Although this 6-y-o is a maiden in his points, his bumper and all three hurdles, he has been staying on and there is no hint of weakening. Already placed in a Grade 2 at this very track, there is still huge scope, in my view, around this horse. Trainer Henry de Bromhead is back in the plus column after yesterday, and all looks in order for a big effort.

SPINNINGAYARN could give Gordon Elliott another winner. As with my other selection, this horse has shown only stamina at the end of his point, bumper and three hurdles (one exception being when something clearly amiss when beaten 75-lengths in his second bumper). His trainer has always been complimentary about this horse's future, has referenced stepping up in trip and stable first call Jack Kennedy has chosen this one over other credible options. Enough to like at the price in a (rare) race where Willie Mullins can, in my opinion, be taken on.

PANIC ATTACK is probably my bamker of the meeting. It is a little sad that Dan Skelton has managed to improve an 18-raced horse from David Pipe by more than a stone. However, this mare has thrived in her new surroundings and her season thus far has been stellar. In both the Paddy Power and what used to be known as the Hennessey, you would have needed a wide television to see those behind her as she crossed the winning line. Not jaded from that, she put 14-lengths between her challenger in a mares' listed race, again at Newbury. Over confidence is dangerous but if I could only have one bet on Friday, Panic Attack would be it.

TELEPATHIQUE brings a bit of difference in the formlines to Cheltenham and I am not the first to judge her a place contender. Prolific on smaller tracks for a while now and out of nowhere, she found herself 20 lb higher than for a win at Fakenham last January. Sent to Newbury off her new mark, she performed credibly against the boys but didn't jump as well as she can. Next time, she did meet Spindleberry up at Doncaster and although she has quite a weight turnaround, that shouldn't be enough. However, her rival has since pulled up in the Irish Gold Cup where my selection comes here nice and fresh. The worry is she tends to make all when she wins and if she tries that here, she will be under pressure in a number of ways. Still, an interesting bet at a big price.

I have been hitting the bar this week with handicap outsiders and this time, I am siding with the favourite. KARBAU was down the Mullins pecking order in last year's Supreme and finished tailed-off. Ran much better though at both the Aintree and Punchestown festivals in Grade 1 company. Late back to the track this winter, the 6-y-o was turned over at Naas in January but that nonetheless rated a clear career-best. Dropped down into handicap company, he is not thrown-in, but the yard know what they have, and Paul Towned chooses to ride over another, very credible, stable entry.

I have to think handicaps will see similar success for this versatile sort. Didn't go to the DRF and so comes here nice and fresh off a 10-week break. Wouldn't want bottomless ground.
