AINCHEA only found one too good in a Cheltenham bumper on his racecourse debut in October and that form gives the four-year-old a massive chance. Get Out The Gate was an impressive winner of an Irish point-to-point in May and he has subsequently joined the yard of Paul Nicholls. Just A Sting and Whatswrongwithyou add further spice to what could well be a race worth following.
Unbeaten bumper performer JUST A STING made a promising start to his career over hurdles when runner-up at Exeter last month, and with improvement on the cards, he can go one better. However, this is a good race of its type with Whatswrongwithyou, Ainchea and Get Out The Gate all interesting recruits to hurdling.
She has won two hurdle races and a point-to-point from 2m to 3m on good to soft and soft ground. Fell 2 out when 11-8 at Wetherby over 1m 7f (good to soft) in a chase won by Ami Desbois last month on her chase debut.

Ellens Way and Secret Door finished sixth and ninth respectively in a hot Wincanton mares contest last time and both are entitled to get involved here, while top-weight Whatduhavtoget should appreciate the return to hurdles having fallen on her chase debut at Wetherby. However, preference is for Neil Mulholland's progressive five-year-old THE WICKET CHICKEN, who has landed three races earlier this year and should be fresh following a break. Pam Sly's All My Love has been in fine form on the Flat of late and is another to consider.
He has won three hurdle races from 2m 3f to 3m on good to soft and good - yielding ground, but last win was over three years ago. Third of 4 behind Strong Pursuit beaten 25l at 7-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Newbury over 2m 6f (good to soft) last month.

The likes of Beat That and Sam Red are bound to be popular in the market but there are plenty of reasons to take them on. With that in mind, the preference is for MONBEG OSCAR, who was unfortunate to bump into an in-form mare over 2m here last month. The step up in trip should not be a problem for this former point-to-point winner and he should certainly be capable of winning races off this kind of mark. Terry The Fish is another with valid form claims while Connetable could reward each-way support.

A field full of quality and a race that wouldn't look out of place at any of the spring Festivals with the lowest rated member of the field being 149 and, barring Sceau Royal, all are unbeaten over fences so far. Finian's Oscar is 2-2 over the larger obstacles and was impressive when giving away 8lb to Movewiththetimes at Cheltenham over 2m4f last month. However, on both his chasing starts to date he has taken time to warm to the task and, with a strong pace guaranteed, he cannot be sticky early on and lose any sort of ground. North Hill Harvey will ensure a good gallop and has shown an excellent attitude for chasing having won both his starts at Cheltenham, the first of those beating Sceau Royal, so he could get one or two of these into trouble over the Railway Fences if continuing in the same vein of form. That said, it was difficult not to be impressed by BRAIN POWER as he made the perfect beginning to life as a chaser when thrashing War Sound by 28 lengths at Kempton and he follows the exact same route as his illustrious stable companion Altior. He looked a different proposition looking more settled on that occasion and can give trainer Nicky Henderson his fourth win in the race.
Successful in two hurdle races at 1m 7f and 2m on good to soft ground, also won a flat race in May. Finished 19l behind London Prize when sixth of 7 at 9-2 on his latest outing in a Grade 2 hurdle race in the Group 2 Unibet Elite Hurdle at Wincanton over 1m 7f (soft) last month.

Nicky Henderson has won this four times in the last 10 years, including last year with Brain Power who went on to become one of the Seven Barrows stable stars. This time around he saddles the highly regarded Jenkins who despite flopping over hurdles as a novice was sent off 5-1 for the Greatwood Hurdle when finishing seventh. The fifth in that race William H Bonney has to be given plenty of respect and a 2lb lower mark here is a massive plus for the six-year-old with a one in three strike-rate, while Irish raider Crossed My Mind has to be considered with Barry Geraghty booked in the plate. However, preference goes to Sandown specialist RAYVIN BLACK, who can roll back the years from a mark off 135 - 2lb lower than when scoring here in January 2016 and some 14lb lower than when at the peak of his powers. Regular pilot Tom Garner removes a further 3lb and he should be fighting fit having tuned up in a Kempton Listed contest. Exitas is interesting switching back to hurdles having been in fine form over fences recently and Fidux is another must for the shortlist having been in the process of running a huge race over course and distance last time before being desperately unlucky and unseating Kevin Dowling at the last.
RAYVIN BLACK has his ideal conditions and the handicapper has taken a big chance with him on his first start in this company for a year, so he is offered in a wide-open handicap. William H Bonney and Jenkins shaped in contrasting fashion in the Greatwood but both are respected.

In little over 12 months FOX NORTON has gone from a 146-rated handicapper to a proven Group One performer now rated 169 and Colin Tizzard's versatile chaser was in rude health when hosing up in deplorable ground at Cheltenham in the Shloer Chase three weeks ago. A win here could catapult him to the head of the Venn Farm King George pecking order and top Irish jockey Robbie Power could successfully reacquaint himself with the improving seven-year-old. Paul Nicholls has been synonymous with this contest in recent times and he saddles two here, with his exciting free-running Haldon Gold Cup winner Politologue leading the Ditcheat charge. He didn't put a foot wrong at Exeter and it would be no surprise if he was still on the up. Sir Valentino took the contest San Benedeto flopped in when favourite at Ascot last time and the Champion Chase third could be one for each-way punters, while Ar Mad looked the epitome of a two-mile chaser when destroying Bristol De Mai over course and distance as a novice and a return to that level of form after his well-documented issues can see him also get involved.
Hard to see past FOX NORTON, who looked every bit as good as ever when a ready winner on his Cheltenham return, although the manner of Politologue's Haldon Gold Cup success marks him down as a contender for top honours this term and he's likely to ensure Colin Tizzard's charge doesn't have things all his own way. Sir Valentino may prove best of the remainder.
Has won four hurdle races, a NH flat race and three chases from 2m to 2m 7f on ground varying from good to soft, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 12l behind Present Man when fourth of 16 at 12-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Wincanton over 3m 1f (soft) last month.

DOING FINE bids to gain compensation for his neck defeat to Rocky Creek in this contest 12 months ago. He rolls up on an 11lb higher perch this time but he has progressed for Neil Mulholland in the interim and suggested this extreme test could again bring out the best in him when making late headway for third over 3m1f at Cheltenham latest. Sugar Baron remains on a workable mark at present and if first-time blinkers help him improve his jumping he could feasibly figure. At bigger prices, recent Southern National scorer Cresswell Breeze and Benbens, who is 2lb lower than when third in the Scottish National last term, have each-way possibilities.
SUGAR BARON's jumping is a bit of a concern but he still held every chance until clouting the last in the Bet365 Gold Cup here in the spring and returned with a good second at Cheltenham last month. It's possible first-time blinkers will give him an extra edge and he's preferred to Cresswell Breeze and Doing Fine in a competitive finale.
