Verdict
Individual Race Printouts

Champers On Ice has proved an excellent recruit from the pointing arena for David Pipe and the son of Robin Des Champs revealed a good attitude last time when landing a first hurdling success over this trip and ground at Newbury. Clearly on the upgrade, he should prove a tough opponent to overcome but CAPTAIN CHAOS receives narrow preference. Dan Skelton's gelding maintained his improvement with a fine second at Grade 2 level behind Label Des Obeaux at Sandown and the 4lb he receives from the Pipe inmate may prove decisive. Drumlee Sunset and and Hawkhurst have both displayed enough talent to also be of interest in an interesting novice hurdle.

Verdict
Expert View Verdict
Individual Race Printouts

De Kerry Man is a contender of note for David Bridgwater, for whom he's unbeaten after scoring comfortably at Fontwell and Fakenham last term. This represents a major rise in grade but he's certainly open to progress off his current mark and could be dangerous if ready after a 300-day absence. Beg To Differ looks fairly treated for this handicap chase debut and Perfect Candidate has strong form claims but conditions are a concern for him, so ALTERNATIF is preferred. He landed a Fontwell chase over a similar trip last time and has solid heavy ground form to his name in France.

Top Tip: Alternatif (3)
Watch out for: Beg To Differ (5)

ALTERNATIF raised his game when opening his chasing account with something to spare in this headgear at Fontwell in December and has sound prospects off shrugging off a 4 lb rise, possibly at the expense of Perfect Candidate, who was better than ever when close up in a couple of hotly-contested staying handicaps at this venue in recent months. De Kerry Man may fare best of the rest.

Verdict
Individual Race Printouts

A cracking contest featuring a host of promising novices, none of whom can be discounted with any confidence. Blaklion returned to form here last time but all his best has come on better ground, whilst something was clearly amiss with Minella Rocco last time. He is far better than that and remains of considerable interest. Volnay De Thaix is another yet to encounter such demanding conditions but should progress from a winning chase debut, as should easy Uttoxeter winner, Aubusson. Le Mercurey and Three Musketeers are also highly progressive young chasers but SEEYOUATMIDNIGHT could offer a touch of value. He really impressed at Carlisle last time, stays further and has already displayed a definite liking for the forecast testing conditions.

Verdict
Expert View Verdict
Individual Race Printouts

An excellent turnout for a good purse in which the youngest performer on show by some way, the 5-y-o MON SUCCESSEUR - can augment a most impressive success at Ascot when looking a chaser very much on the upgrade. Raised 10lb for that victory, he still looks attractively treated off 10-6 and a previous close second to Otago Trail on heavy ground also reads well. Village Vic was a stylish scorer here in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup for which he's been hiked 8lb but remains the most potent of threats. Little Jon and Tenor Nivernais also demand considerable respect in a competitive contest.

Top Tip: Mon Successeur (9)
Watch out for: Village Vic (7)

Course winner A GOOD SKIN was progressive over fences last term, and has performed well in both starts this season. His strong-travelling style suggests he could be suited by a well run race at this shorter trip, and he is taken to score. Mon Successeur is feared most after his taking success at Ascot last time, with Tenor Nivernais and Village Vic also respected.

Verdict
Expert View Verdict
Individual Race Printouts

So Fine rediscovered form over C&D last time and has obvious claims of repeating the dose off an 8lb higher mark. However, the majority of his racing has come on much better ground and he's somewhat reluctantly passed over with that question mark hanging over him. In contrast, RONS DREAM has no such ground issues and clearly enjoys it here, having scored and finished a laudable runner-up on his most recent starts at this venue. Batavir looks weighted to go well for the Pipe team and Singlefarmpayment could be a lively outsider after hacking up in admittedly modest company at Southwell latest.

Top Tip: Rons Dream (3)
Watch out for: So Fine (8)

SINGLEFARMPAYMENT created a good impression when landing a Southwell novice event last month, and back in handicap company, gets the nod to continue the good work under Nico de Boinville. C&D winner So Fine, Dan Emmett and Rons Dream are others to consider.

Verdict
Individual Race Printouts

Last season's Ladbrokes World hurdle winner, Cole Harden, made a perfectly satisfactory return to action behind Thistlecrack at Newbury and should be spot-on here although there is the obvious concern about the significant drop in trip. Nevertheless, he's an accomplished performer on heavy ground and it would come as no surprise should he run the finish out of these opponents, talented as they are. Whisper was way behind the Greatrex inmate at Newbury and is much better than that but a chance is taken that TOP NOTCH will see out this trip. He's a classy performer who'll be at home in these demanding conditions and receives nearly half a stone from the top two.

Top Tip: Top Notch (5)
Watch out for: Whisper (2)
