A very competitive contest that can go the way of CHARBEL, who bounced back form a disappointing run to finish a solid second to Yanworth in a Grade 2 at Ascot in December. That form has been boosted since and he can defy his penalty. Simon Squirrel has run into Altior on his last two starts, while Brain Power confirmed himself as a novice going places when winning at Kempton back in November. Always Resolute had the race in the bag when falling at the last on his most recent start, although this race is significantly stronger.
He has won two hurdle races, a chase and a point-to-point from 2m to 3m on good and soft ground. Third of 6 behind Baltimore Rock beaten 1 1/4l at 2-1fav on his latest outing in a chase at Doncaster over 2m (good to soft) in December last year.

Got The Nac beat a subsequent winner at Newcastle back in December in a novice chase and he still appears to be on a workable mark. FULL SHIFT won a stronger race than this over 2m4f at Kempton on Boxing Day, the drop in trip is a slight concern but he should relish this good ground. Top weight The Grey Taylor ran well behind two useful prospects at Doncaster last time but once again looks vulnerable off this rating. This is the fifth consecutive year that Quito Du Tresor has run in this race but he has yet to win it and that is unlikely to change today.
GOT THE NAC made the perfect start for Keith Dalgleish when winning a novice chase at Newcastle in December, not having to improve to do so, whilst leaving the impression there is indeed better to come, and he can prove himself well treated back in a handicap. Full Shift has more to offer over fences, but the drop back to 2m is a slight concern, while The Grey Taylor also needs considering.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good and good to soft ground. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 10-11fav over this course and distance (good to soft) last month, beating Magic Dancer by 12l. Has won twice at Musselburgh this season.

TOMMY SILVER chased home Fixe Le Kap at Newbury over the Christmas period and that form was boosted when the winner bolted up at Warwick recently. A repeat of that performance will see him home well in front, especially as he receives weight form all of his rivals. The biggest danger is likely to be Sir Chauvelin, who was found out in a Grade 2 on his penultimate start but bounced back with an impressive win next time. Ashoka rates the pick of the remainder, as Sikandar looks up against it.
Has won six hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 2f on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. Finished 10l behind Ar Mad when fourth of 5 at 25-1 on his latest outing in a Grade 2 chase in the Group 2 Williamhill.com Novices' Chase at Kempton over 2m (good to soft) in December last year. Has won 3 times this season.

This is likely to come down to a head-to-head battle between Ittirad and SAMETEGAL. The latter is the selection because he gets 5lb from his main rival and he was still travelling well when parting company with his rider in a Grade 2 at Newbury in November. His run behind More Of That since is solid if not spectacular and he can get back to winning ways today. Ittirad ran as well as could have been expected when behind the likes of Ar Mad, Vaniteux and Arzal at Christmas. Five In A Row would have to improve upon his hurdles form to make a winning chasing debut, while Overtheedge looks outclassed.
SAMETEGAL lost nothing in defeat when matching strides for most of the way with leading RSA Chase hope More of That in a Cheltenham novice last time and he should be able to gain his second win over fences now. Ittirad ran well in a Grade 2 event last time and looks the clear danger.
Winner of six hurdle races and a NH flat race from 1m 4f to 2m on ground varying from good to soft. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 5-2fav over this course and distance (good to soft) last month, beating Pearl Castle by 2 1/4l. Has won 3 times this season.

ARISTO DU PLESSIS is one of two C&D winners in the field having created a deep impression when beating the talented Pearl Castle here on New Year's Day. Racking up back-to-back track and trip triumphs that day, he readily exploited 5lb lower and, six wins from 12 starts over hurdles, he might not be done improving yet. Days Of Heaven looked a chaser in the making when winning the Grade 2 Dovecote Hurdle last season but remains a force to be reckoned with in this discipline, while Cardinal Walter and Mango Cap can also have their say.
ARISTO DU PLESSIS has just gone from strength to strength and might be up to defying the handicapper again to notch a third C&D success in a row. Pearl Castle chased him home last time and is likely to be on the premises again, while it's taken Cardinal Walter a bit of time to get back to the track but he remains with potential for better now handicapping for the first time in this sphere.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m 4f and 3m on good to soft and soft ground. Well beaten at 12-1 behind Ballydine when seventh of 9 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Newcastle over 2m 6f (soft) in November last year. Has won twice at Ayr this season.

This looks a match on paper between Fagan and O O SEVEN and preference is for the latter. Nicky Henderson deemed his Flemensfirth gelding good enough to contest the Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown last month and he ran a blinder behind the smart Yorkhill, suggesting the step up in distance would suit having stayed on well from the back. Cyrius Moriviere was pulled up int that race and has since dotted up at Doncaster and the six-year-old beat future Newbury scorer and stable companion Premier Bond readily at the Esher circuit two starts back. Fagan cannot be overlooked, though, and won as odds suggested here on his hurdles debut in December, but Delusionofgrandeur and Calivigny will need to step up.
A fascinating small-field novice. FAGAN has looked a top prospect on all 3 starts since joining Gordon Elliott and the fact he's a former point winner suggests this longer trip should see him an even better light. Tolworth runner-up O O Seven, who is also stepping up from 2m, is the obvious threat in what is likely to develop into a match between this highly promising pair.
Has won eight chases from 2m 7f to 3m 1f on ground varying from good to soft. Finished 12l behind Back To Bracka when fourth of 7 at 10-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Ayr over 2m 4f (good to soft) in October last year.

NO LOOSE CHANGE was a useful type when trained by Paul Nicholls and looks the pick of these hunter chasers, despite having unseated his rider when last sighted under Rules at Stratford and pulled up when last sighted in a point-to-point. The son of Bob Back did win between the flags in the interim period, beating his former stable companion Join Together, and can make it a winning return at the main expense of Nearest The Pin and Nowurhurlin.
NO LOOSE CHANGE sets a good standard on what he achieved in hunters last term and will likely take some stopping if bouncing back from a lesser effort in the pointing field in January. Nowurhurlin and Railway Dillon may be the ones to fight things out if he fails to meet expectations.

Nicky Henderson won this with Dawalan 12 months ago and launches a two-pronged assault this time courtesy of Call The Cops and CUP FINAL. The former won the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival last term and then ran a close second behind the reopposing Taglietelle in an Aintree Grade 3, but the booking of Barry Geraghty for the latter suggests he could be the more forward of the two Henderson inmates and he's only 5lb higher than when winning impressively at Sandown last time.
CUP FINAL has an absence to overcome tackling a new trip, but the impression remains that he is fair way ahead of his mark if all is well, and he could hardly be in better hands. Stablemate Call The Cops won the Final of this series last term and likely has that as a target again, so last month's C&D winner Donna's Diamond is feared most.
