Jamie Snowden, Lambourn T B John Mounsey Ultima Business Solutions S TIMEFORM VIEW :Useful winning hurdler who ran up to best when 3.5 lengths fourth of 7 in a novices’ handicap chase at Uttoxeter (22.5f) on return in October. Should go well again. TFRHHHII BHA135

Jonathan Burke J Tom George, Slad T B T. Fleming HBA Media S TIMEFORM VIEW 6-y-o who gained what looked a most unlikely third success over hurdles at Newcastle (16.2f) in February. Runner-up over 18.9f in France thereafter and step up to 2 1/2m looks a plus now chasing. TFRHHHII BHA135

Rebecca Curtis, Newport T B Walter Crean William Hill S TIMEFORM VIEW Three-time hurdles winner who opened account in this sphere over C&D in June. Placed on 2 of last 3 starts and seemingly not 100% at Ffos Las on latest outing. Still, this looks deeper. TFRHHHII BHA131

Ben Pauling, Bourton-on-the-Water T B William Mangan Jeremy Houghton - Houghtonart, Fitzdares Club S TIMEFORM VIEW Bumper winner who tasted success over hurdles in May and surpassed that form with an impressive chase debut win at Huntingdon (19.8f) in October. Up in class but highly likely there is more to come. TFRHHHHH BHA127

Good type physically and he should make his mark over fences. Interesting. TFRHHHII BHA120

PLAY SMARTER A really interesting novices’ handicap chase with the vote in favour of YOUR DARLING. A progressive hurdler, he surpassed his form in that sphere when scoring impressively on chase debut at Huntingdon in October and he looks up to handling his subsequent rise in the weights. Beakstown has a lengthy absence to overcome but is also high on the shortlist, along with Kiltealy Briggs and Linelee King.
