Cheltenham

12.45 Our Father impressed when winning here last month. He handles soft ground and will be hard to beat.

1.55 According to Trev was third here last month and may well be better over a longer trip tomorrow. Both trainer and jockey are in excellent form.

2.30 I am going to put a couple forward for this big handicap chase. Astracad goes well at Cheltenham and his recent 4th at the track should put him straight while Cristal Bonus came back to something like his best at Down Royal and should appreciate the testing conditions.

3.05 Zarkandar won the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton last month and is a course and distance winner.

Doncaster

11.55 Vintage Star was a good second at Carlisle last time out and should appreciate the conditions.

1.00 Rocky Creek looks the one to be on in this.

2.45 Sametegal jumped well when winning at Wetherby and could upset the favourite.

Lingfield

1.45 Court in Motion should benefit from tackling 3 miles. Runner up to Dynaste last time he doesn’t face anything of that quality in this.
