ROCK GONE could be very well treated in this veterans' handicap given his unexposed profile. The eight-year-old represents an astute handler and the distance winner remains and unexposed quantity after just the six starts over hurdles, only three of which have been for Dr Richard Newland. An impressive winner on deep Uttoxeter ground in December '14, he made a more than pleasing return to the track at Plumpton last month and natural improvement makes him a real player. Spice Fair ran creditably in defeat at Taunton in January and is a model of consistency, so he joins Cousin Khee on the shortlist.
Lightly-raced 8-y-o ROCK GONE caught the eye when runner-up in a useful Plumpton handicap on return last month, and he can prove himself well handicapped. Cousin Khee isn't bred for fences, so it wasn't a surprise to see him run below form in that sphere last time, and he can show himself in a better light now, while Spice Fair has place claims.
Has won three hurdle races and five chases from 2m to 3m 2f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Well beaten at 22-1 behind Ziga Boy when 11th of 15 on his latest outing in a chase at Doncaster over 3m (good) in January. Has won at Cheltenham and Wincanton this season.

A competitive renewal in which the 2014 Grand National winner Pineau De Re and fourth, Alvarado, grace their presence. Both are respected ahead of another tilt at the Aintree marathon next month, but PETE THE FEAT gets the verdict arriving on the back of a couple of creditable performances in defeat. Charlie Longsdon's charge ran fourth in the North Yorkshire Grand National at Catterick in January and finished a close second behind subsequent Grade 3 BetBright Chase fifth Le Reve in a warm Sandown handicap last time. He gets in under a nice weight off 3lb higher and the drop back into a veterans' handicap will help. Of the others, Benbens was deemed good enough to contest the Hennessy Gold Cup here three starts ago and is noted along with Restless Harry and Shotavodka.
PETE THE FEAT was as good as ever when twice finding only one better in recent months, displaying his familiar battling qualities when pushing an in-form rival close at Sandown in February. He is worth siding with to regain the winning thread, possibly at the expense of Restless Harry, who has been a shade disappointing the last twice, but goes well here. Shotavodka is another worth considering.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 1f. Pulled up at the last when 18-1 over this course and distance (heavy) in a Grade 3 hurdle race won by Agrapart last month on his latest outing.

Wells De Lune is turned out under a penalty after romping to a 21-length success at Fontwell last month and is expected to give a good account, though it may be worth taking a chance on the returning SAINT CHARLES, who is fitted with a first-time hood. Nicky Henderson's charge finished within four lengths of Thistlecrack at Ascot last season and is potentially well handicapped if he's improved in his time off the track. Boite and Gala Ball have shown plenty of promise in novices company and are others worth monitoring closely in the betting now handicapping.
SAINT CHARLES and Wells de Lune rather stand out from a handicapping perspective. The latter responded well to an aggressive ride when successful at Fontwell last week and is well-in under a penalty, but the form of Saint Charles' runs last winter has been boosted significantly since, so he is preferred (also holds a pair of Cheltenham entries).
Has won three hurdle races, three NH flat races and three chases from 2m to 3m 5f on ground varying from good to heavy. Third of 7 behind Broxbourne beaten 9l at 7-2 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Aintree over 3m 1f (soft) in November last year.

ART MAURESQUE represents champion trainer Paul Nicholls, who also saddles Sametegal, and his Ditcheat base has been responsible for seven of the 13 winners since its inaugural running in 2004. Last year Sound Investment got the better of Bennys Mist, a winner at Aintree this season, and Art Mauresque boasts a similar profile to his stable companion. The lightly-raced six-year-old performed well in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November, on the back of winning a novice chase contest there by eight lengths, and can be forgiven his latest effort in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup when rain-softened ground went against him. Dropped 3lb for that effort, he could be very well treated off 144 and the booking of Noel Fehily is a big positive. Course winner Shutthefrontdoor is entitled to strip sharper for this first run in 119 days and connections will no doubt have one eye on the Grand National next month, so Ultragold, an impressive Wincanton scorer last time, is feared most. Little Jon and Pythagore are others to keep onside.
It looks as if ART MAURESQUE might have been saved for this since contesting a pair of top handicaps at Cheltenham towards the end of 2015 and can provide Paul Nicholls with a remarkable eighth winner of the race since 2006. Bennys Mist arrives in form and can match last year's second place, while Shutthefrontdoor tanked along for much of the way off a similar mark in last year's Grand National.
He has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race at 2m on good and soft ground. Well beaten at 8-1 behind Salmanazar when fifth of 10 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Market Rasen over 2m 5f (heavy) in January. Has won at Southwell and Uttoxeter this season.

IKRAPOL took a forward step when second over this trip in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby last time and is expected to improve now switched to handicap company. Similar comments are applicable to recent Doncaster novice hurdle winner Muthabir and Sikandar, the latter of whom was well held in a Listed hurdle at Musselburgh when last sighted but could find this a more suitable assignment now eased in grade.
MUTHABIR was value for plenty more than the winning margin at Doncaster on his latest start, and he gets the nod to follow up. Sikandar will find this much more suitable than his latest Musselburgh assignment and is feared, ahead of Itsnowcato.

Most of these have some improvement to find if they are going to be successful but not ROYAL GUARDSMAN. The son of King's Theatre won a very competitive hurdle here in November and he looks to exploit a chase mark that is 3lb below that last winning rating over the smaller obstacles. Exmoor Mist is clearly progressing very nicely and he could have added to his winning streak but for parting with his jockey last time. That said, he could struggle to confirm form with Trojan Star, who is 19lb better off for just over four lengths from when the pair met in December. Also, the Kim Bailey runner is tried in first-time cheekpieces today.
HUGHESIE beat 3 subsequent winners when making a winning chase debut at Sedgefield in November and makes plenty of appeal up only 4 lb, especially with the prospect of more to come. Exmoor Mist is another who's taken well to fences, while Royal Guardsman is potentially well treated on hurdles form.
Won on his latest outing in a NH flat race when 7-4fav at Huntingdon over 1m 6f (good to soft) in January, beating Silverhow by 2 1/4l.

A race that is bound to produce many future winners but today's race can go to BAGS GROOVE. The son of Oscar only found the useful Criq Rock too good on debut and he followed that up with an impressive win at Huntingdon on his sole start since. Cultivator was a very respectable third on his debut in this race 12 months and has since broken his maiden tag at Ascot. Boudry won well a week ago but that came in a mediocre event and he has been beaten in two poor contests prior to that. The Alan King-trained pair of Sir Antony Browne and Tara View have to be considered with the yard's success rate in this contest. The former has a big chance based on his impressive victory at Kempton last month. Any market support for Twist On Ginge in debut would be notable.
SIR ANTONY BROWNE fair stormed home once grasping what was required on his Kempton debut and might be worth siding with to continue Alan King's excellent record in this valuable bumper, but there are a host of possible dangers in what looks a really hot race, headed by last year's third Cultivator and Pure Vision, who ran to a high level when runner-up over C&D at the Hennessy meeting.
