Plenty in with chances on the face of it, but this looks as if it could be a Skelton plot. She showed improved form to land a Class 2 Windsor Novice in mid-January before being unable to carry her penalty at Market Rasen last time. She looks held by a couple of these, but on handicap debut she does have a bit of a pull, and Harry has gone to Newbury for the mount. She has plenty of stamina in her pedigree, so should be suited by the step up in trip. Even at 9/2, she could be overpriced and rates a solid each-way bet with around five places available.

Only five runners, but all with something to answer. However, the Skelton-trained Joyeux Machin has more to recommend than the others. He is well handicapped on his best form, even for Skelton, since coming over from Ireland, and he has Harry Atkins taking off a useful 7 lb. His last two runs have been in Class 1 handicaps, and he drops to Class 3 today with only four rivals. He was going well and clear when falling two runs back, and if he reproduces his best then he could be very well in here. At 3/1, he could look very generous after the race.

The Chris Gordon yard has been having a bit of a quiet time during the past couple of months, but they have shown signs of a revival with a couple of winners in the past week or so. Kocktail Bleu sets the clear standard on adjusted RPRs and, being a forward racer, should be able to race with the pace and possibly dictate his own fractions. He acts on good to soft ground, which he may well get today judging by yesterday’s winning times, and he should take the deal of beating here.

He is suited by today's distance and ground and should take a deal of beating here.

A few of these have to prove themselves over this trip, especially when the ground may well be softer than described and/or 'dead.' The Ellis mare has won her last four hurdle races and is improving at a decent rate. She tends to travel well through her races, and she should be able to race off the pace before being delivered late. The stable is in good form, with three winners from their last six runners. With her proven stamina, she looks overpriced at around 14/1 and rates a sporting each-way Nap of the day.

Only five runners, but two can safely have a line put through them. The Nicholls runner is likely to go off favourite and the yard is 5-7 here in the past five seasons. However, the yard is not exactly banging in the winners, so he is short enough for me. Buddah Castle went into my notebook when scoring here over 2.5m back in December, despite almost throwing the race away by running very green. He then ran well below that form when fourth of eight seven weeks later at Newcastle, but that stiffer track may have stretched him. He is back to the scene of his win and drops back 3f in trip. Charlie Maggs takes over from the injured Brian Hughes and takes off a useful 3 lb, and his stable have an excellent record here this season with 9-20. He may not get his own way out in front, but as long as he doesn’t battle for the lead, he looks overpriced at around 7/2 and rates a sporting each-way bet to finish in the first two.

Last time finished runner-up over CD under today’s jockey after a 202-day break. Comes here after another 130-day break, presumably avoiding any testing ground, and should have conditions to suit today.

She has worn a hood on all three starts to date, and it is retained today. She is said to have schooled well and has been well supported this morning. The yard have a decent record with five wins and eight placed from 37 runners in the past five seasons and is their only runner today. At around 15/8, she rates the value bet.

This looks to rest between the two at the head of the market. Preference is for the Harry Fry-trained Constellation Walk, though he does have to settle better ??" a remark that also applies to the likely favourite Dutch Corner.

A 14-runner handicap, but a number of these can have a line put through them for various reasons. The one that stands out for me is the Henderson-trained La Pinsonniere, who should improve on her reappearance five weeks ago. She was expected to go chasing this season, so I’m guessing she will look to take in this decent prize prior to switching codes. She is suited by spring ground and drops back into a handicap at a track the yard do well at, with 45% here this season with their hurdlers. At around 6/1, she looks a solid each-way Nap of the day.

However, you should never be scared by one runner, and I am a big fan of Hartington, who did me a big favour when winning as a novice at Newbury. He acts well on soft ground and stays all day. He drops 1 lb from his last run and now wears a tongue tie for the first time. While the yard has not been in the best form in the past few weeks, they did have three run with credit at the Festival, and Hartington looks overpriced at around 9/1 and rates a solid each-way bet with five places available.

Most of these have questions to answer, so nothing for me is a standout. Inothewayurthinking has been well below par in three runs this season, and I can’t have him despite the cheekpieces going on. I’m a big fan of Haiti Couleurs, but I can’t see him landing this today, though I can see him running into a place. The Jukebox Man is reported to have had a ‘minor setback’ according to Redknapp, though no details were disclosed; it has to be a doubt. I’m not convinced that an Arkle winner will go on to win the following year’s Gold Cup, so I can’t have Jango Baie. Gaelic Warrior is my fancy despite not being proven at the trip. They should go a decent pace, which should allow Townsend to get him settled. Mullins is convinced he will get the trip, so for me he has to be the Nap of the day.

While age is against her, the more I look at this race, I keep coming back to the likely favourite Dinoblue. She sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, and her record at the Festival is a win and two runner-up finishes. She doesn’t have to lead, but with a decent pace likely, she can sit just off the pace before being delivered up the hill. Even at around 2/1, she looks the one to be on.

A wide-open 23-runner handicap and plenty in with chances. I’m sticking with Jubilee Alpha, who has been in my notebook for some time since her hurdles debut. She has finished runner-up in three of her four runs this season. The drop back in trip with a good pace likely should suit her. She is only 2 lb off the top-rated on adjusted RPRs, and at around 25/1 she looks overpriced. She can give Paul Nicholls a much-needed boost at the Festival and rates as a sporting each-way bet.

Plenty can be given chances, but Minella Study went into my notebook after landing the Trial here in December. While it goes against the trends to come here after such a break, to me he looks the better of the British runners and has as much scope to improve as others. He has important CD form on the New Course and a prominent running style, which has been the way to go so far. The only slight worry is how soft the ground has become, but he did stay on well in his final run as a 2yo over 9f on soft ground, so the ground hopefully won’t be an issue. At around 13/2, he rates as a solid each-way bet.

The Skeltons have the likely favourite in Supremely West, but he is skinny enough in such a competitive handicap.

The only doubt is if he is held up too far out the back, but as long as he races closer, at around 16/1 he rates a sporting each-way bet.

I’ve tried to find a reason not to side with the jolly, Fact To File, but ultimately have sided with the obvious. He sets the standard and has two wins and a second from three runs at the track. The Mullins yard have had a really good Festival so far, and this does look like another Group 1 winner for Closutton.

That leaves the Mullins mare Jade Du Grugy, who has been chasing this season. She ran well to be runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares last season, albeit beaten 7.5l.

Likely favourite Bambino Fever has obvious claims but makes no appeal at all at around 1/1. The one to take the eye is the Baily/Nicholls-trained White Noise at around 50/1. She has shown improved form in her four hurdle races this season and may have found the ground too testing last time when just touched off by Kingston Queen in a Class 1 at Warwick. She is third top on speed figures and has clocked almost identical figures in her last two races. She is proven on the likely better ground today and, with eight of the ten previous winners having won over 2m 2f, she ticks that box as well. The stable is in good form, so at around 50/1 she rates a sporting each-way bet.

Majborough is the best horse in the race, but his jumping doesn’t always hold up and I can’t back him at odds-on, especially with the poor record of odds-on chances in recent years in this race. Second-favourite Il Etait Temps was disappointing last time at Ascot when well backed to beat Jonbon, but the yard were a bit out of sorts at the time and, clearly, he did not give his running.

A big field of novices to start the day, but a lot of dead wood in this. 19 of the last 21 winners came from the first four in the betting, so it may pay to focus on the top of the market. No Drama This End sets the standard on adjusted RPRs and is justifiably likely to go off favourite. All of his runs have been on softish ground, though he did score on better ground last time. However, faster ground in a much bigger field is a slight worry and makes his odds look unappealing. Henderson had a decent day yesterday with two winners, so is in reasonable form. Act Of Innocence acts on good ground and looks to stay the trip, which Nicky is confident of. He has some decent speed figures and, at around 10/1, rates a solid each-way bet to finish in the first four and rates a sporting Nap of the day.

Ex-French filly Miss Carbo already does have a handicap mark, but connections are sticking with the novice route. She finished 2nd in both of her runs in France before moving to the Mulholland yard at the end of last year. She ran with credit on her British debut under Sean Bowen, again finishing runner-up at Warwick. She then faced a stiff task in a Listed event at Taunton where she raced keenly and was bumped at the first flight before weakening approaching two out. She then returned to Taunton where she raced out the back and was never able to get competitive. She may be better racing closer to the pace today, and on slightly better ground she can get back to her better form shown on her British debut. She is only 1 lb off the top-rated on adjusted RPRs, so at around 25/1 she looks well overpriced and rates a sporting each-way bet.

He has dropped 3 lb for his two defeats and is Bryan Carver’s only mount of the day. There should be a good pace, which will suit his hold-up style. At around 14/1, he rates a sporting each-way Nap of the day.

A trappy little handicap with preference for the Snowden-trained Marche d’Aligre, who was said not to stay last time over 2m 3½f. He has also had a wind op since then, so it was probably more than just not getting the trip. Issie Ryder takes over and takes off a valuable 5 lb, so he is off a very tempting mark. He will be better suited by the drop back in trip and he acts on soft ground. With conditions to suit, he looks overpriced at around 15/2 and is a solid each-way bet.

Eddie My Eagle showed much improved form last time when scoring in a novice at Plumpton. He is clearly suited by waiting tactics, with a decent pace likely from a few keen runners here. He scored in a decent time last time, and with conditions to suit, he looks the one to be on.

Only four runners and, at the prices, it looks to lie between the top three at the head of the market. I am going for the outsider of the field at around 66/1. He had three runs for Willie Mullins, winning the last of those over 22f at Tramore. He was then switched to Venetia Williams and was well beaten on stable debut 25 days ago on the back of a lengthy break over a course and distance that was probably sharp enough. He is expected to make into a nice staying chaser, so the step up to 3m should suit. The yard is in better form at the moment and the form of his Tramore win does not warrant his price of 66/1. At those odds, he is worth a small wager.

A number of these make some sort of appeal, but the one to really take the eye is the Tom Ward-trained Laplander. He has raced out the back of the field in both hurdle races to date, but in both races the leader went off at a good pace and had the whole field well strung out. On both occasions he stayed on up the home straight. Both of those runs were at this track, and he is back here for his third run. The better ground should suit him, and he should again be staying on up the home straight. He has been nibbled at big prices this morning but is still available at around 40/1. At those odds, he represents a sporting each-way bet.

An interesting little race with all four having some sort of chance. Cuban Court has a good record at the track, and the stable is in good form. He is sure to give a good account with conditions to suit. However, Sign Again makes his chasing debut, and his usual rider, Lilly Pinchin, did say that she rides him most days at home and he does jump very well. He showed much better form last time in a first-time tongue tie, which is retained. With a likely good pace on, the race should be run to suit. At around 3/1, he is worth taking the chance that the switch to chasing will bring him more improvement, and he rates as a value bet.

Itsinthename catches the eye here on first run for Nick Scholfield. He Has plenty of stamina in his pedigree so this may be a bit sharp for him but he was well backed on debut for Twiston-Davies so is clearly thought of enough of and now makes his hurdles debut for another yard. He also sports a tongue tie for the first time and has Sean Bowen on board who has an excellent record of 6-9 for the yard which is bang in form with 6-13 in the past 14 days. At around 2/1, he rates the Nap of the day.
