Chiefs looked a shadow of their former selves this season and got out of jail last week courtesy of an OT win. They lie third in the AFC West with a 6-6 record coming into this faceoff against a Texans side on a 4-game winning streak, who lie third behind Denver in the AFC East with a 7-5 record. This is a must-win game if the Chiefs are to reach the knockout stages. I'm expecting them to edge a very tight game against a well-organised and drilled Texans side.

Despite an 8-pound turn around in the weights, I expect the Russell/Scudamore runner to confirm the form of the Ayr run last month. He's won 4 of his 6 starts. The way he was staying on at Ayr suggests this step up in trip will suit. He holds several entries this month, including the Welsh National. Kit takes off a useful 5 pounds, and he's a bigger price than I envisaged. I cannot see him out of the first three. Fully expect him continue his fine form.

At the age of 10, COCONUT SPLASH has no secrets. I find it interesting that he's been kept in training. He only had 21 career starts, so obviously there have been issues. His first run of the season, when sixth at Ayr last month, was the gelding's first run in 18 months. On several bits of placed form he's got a strong each-way shout in this open contest. There has been a bit of early money for him, generally 16/1 on opening, showing bigger in the place. Certainly on a decent mark. Kit again takes the ride, claiming 5 pounds.
