SIZABLE SAM has clearly improved for the fitting of cheekpieces the last twice and needed every yard of the extended 2m5f to win at Wincanton latest, so this trip should be perfect on a stiff track. He's only up the 3lb and remains lightly raced over timber. Saint Sonnet was last seen on Boxing Day finishing second behind a nice horse of Philip Hobbs' at Wincanton and he must be taken seriously coming in here fresh for Paul Nicholls. Fifty Ball also makes some appeal.
A tricky race to unravel despite the small field but FIFTY BALL was beaten only by a thriving sort (who won again on Friday) at Sandown earlier this month and, racing from the same mark here, he can resume winning ways. Sizable Sam looked at least as good as ever when scoring at Wincanton last time so Jeremy Scott's charge shades the vote for the forecast spot over Saint Sonnet.
Unplaced in both starts over hurdles. Well beaten at 150-1 behind Seventeen O Four when last of 13 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Chepstow over 2m (soft) in December last year.

MINELLA YOUNGY leaps off the page as he brings a rating of 111 to the table in this maiden and finished fourth behind Hms Seahorse at Fairyhouse two starts ago, form which took a huge boost at Cheltenham last week when the winner finished fourth in the Boodles (Fred Winter). Chavez is the main danger on his penultimate second at Chepstow, while Sam's The Man rates best of a moderate remainder.
CHAVEZ and Minella Young were both well held last time but they set the standard on previous form, with marginal preference for the Nicholls inmate now down slightly in trip. Sam's The Man is also capable of getting involved.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase at 2m on good and soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a chase when 85-40fav at Doncaster over 2m (soft) in December last year, beating Nero Rock by 5l.

Won by a smart chaser last season, THYME WHITE could be exactly that judged on the manner of his first chase success at Doncaster in December. This is just his fourth start over the larger obstacles and he made a mockery of a mark of 134 on Town Moor, so could be one that improves right to the top for Paul Nicholls. Golden Boy Grey hasn't finished outside of the first two home in five starts over fences, winning twice, and heads the list of dangers from Dino Velvet.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good to soft and soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 7-4fav at Taunton over 2m (good to soft) last month, beating Natural History by 1/2l. Has also won at Ludlow this season.

Dual Flat scorer DR T J ECKLEBURG has taken to hurdles like a duck to water, building on his Newbury second with victories at both Ludlow and Taunton. He has been raised 5lb for the latest of those wins, which came on his handicap debut last month, but remains open to further improvement and looks like the one they all have to beat. Irish raiders Vera Verto and Great Realisation both have a chance, particularly the former who boasts some decent form behind the likes of Icare Allen and The Tide Turns. Saint Riquier has undergone wind surgery and been gelded since his latest start, so he is another interesting player.
Plenty are in with a shout. DR T J ECKLEBURG arrives firmly on the up so is fancied to emerge on top and complete a quick hat-trick after his smooth victories at Ludlow and Taunton. Fakenham-scorer Rewired heads the lists of dangers with more expected now he steps into handicaps, with Irish-raider Vera Verto and Oceanline two others who are much respected on their respective handicap debuts.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 2m 3f to 3m 1f on good and soft ground. Pulled up 3 out when 13-8fav at Newbury over 2m 6f (soft) in a chase won by Nestor Park last month on his latest outing.

All barring CHAMPAGNE COURT arrive following lacklustre performances so he looks the logical choice. Indeed, Jeremy Scott's charge has been running consistently well all season long and another bold bid beckons. Bothwell Bridge fell early two starts ago and was reportedly unsuited by the soft going when pulled up at Newbury last time. He won on similar ground to this at Sandown in December and could bounce back to form, while the dropped-in-class Danny Kirwan also has a chance if putting it all together.
Has won three hurdle races, a NH flat race and five chases from 1m 4f to 2m 5f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy, but last win was over three years ago. Third of 7 behind Run To Milan beaten 20l at 9-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Exeter over 3m (soft) last month.

ASO has not won a race in three years now, but that is not to say he has not been running with credit. The Venetia Williams-trained gelding was runner-up at Haydock in December, pulling a few lengths clear with the winner before succumbing in the final furlong, but now 5lb lower than that day, he looks to have a huge chance. Some Chaos took a step back in the right direction at Carlisle in a similar contest last Sunday, finishing second, and provided two quick runs do not catch up with him, he looks likely to provide stiff opposition to the selection. Another who makes some appeal is Minella Encore, who is lightly raced for his age (16 career starts) and may get involved on the back of recent wind surgery.
Has won four hurdle races and four chases from 2m to 3m on ground varying from good to heavy. Fell at the last when 11-8fav at Wincanton over 2m 4f (soft) in a chase won by Wagner earlier this month on his latest outing.

Just the two head to post for this hunters' chase, but it still seems anything but a foregone conclusion. Both runners failed to complete on their most recent start, although ratings have Adrien Du Pont 6lb superior to his sole rival. However, LAW OF GOLD got the better of the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding at Stratford last May and the selection can uphold that form here. The son of Gold Well has only had seven starts in this sphere (three wins) and the point-to-point winner may have a bit more to offer yet.
An interesting match between a useful pair. ADRIEN DU PONT looked as good as ever before departing at Wincanton last time, while Law of Gold didn't seem himself on his latest outing, so the first-named takes preference.
